Designer Advice:
You can make the most of their patterned finishes in different colors and styles (from chevrons to stripes and circles) to introduce an accent hue while still matching the rest of your wooden pieces through the actual frame.
Unusual storage cabinets with eye catching patterns
This unusual storage cabinet steals the scene with its continuous linear pattern, bright gold against a dark brown finish. Luckily, its style doesn’t come at the expense of practicality: you’ll find two finger pulls carved into the upper edges of its cupboard doors, and it hides two spacious shelves for all your storage needs.
Designer Advice:
Thanks to its bold pattern and noticeable legs, you can use this cabinet to make a statement while still matching your other wooden finishes.
Unique Multicolor Cabinet
Lark Manor™
What we like: Unusual design
What we don’t like: Not as easy to match with décor
Not so great for: Understated spaces
Perfect for: Smaller rooms/hallways
Featuring soft close drawers, this cabinet is crafted completely from solid wood. The birch wood veneer and beautiful antique walnut color give it a subtle sheen. Sure to stand out, the unique nature of this cabinet comes from its five drawers. Each one is a different size and color, ranging from red and green to humbug stripes. Plus, the turned feet and Queen Anne-style skirt make it a truly unusual piece that will impress visitors.
Because this cabinet is narrower, measuring just over thirty inches in width, we recommend it for a small living room. Or, place it in a cramped corridor to create a much-needed storage space with heaps of character.
Vintage Inspired Chest
What we like: Heaps of storage
What we don’t like: Can’t store larger items
Not so great for: Modern homes
Perfect for: Country-style homes
Beautiful and unique, this chest has stacks of vintage appeal. Guaranteed to catch the eye of guests, it is made from solid and manufactured wood. It can be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth to remove any dust or marks. The gorgeous antique finish will brighten up any room. Plus, the whitewashed effect gives it even more French country appeal. It features recessed paneling and carved ogee bracket feet for a distinctly rural look.
The best feature of this stunning chest is the amount of storage it offers. Not just for decoration, it features fifteen differently-sized drawers. We recommend using the top drawers for keys or pens, and the bigger ones below for blankets.
Unusual storage cabinet with open & closed storage
Rolanstar
Combining a unique cabinet and a bookshelf-like design, this piece of furniture offers a variety of both storage and decorative possibilities. You can choose between a 59.5” and 71.3” model when it comes to height, getting to play with either four or five open shelves as well as the bottom cupboard and top surface.
Designer Advice:
Thanks to its rough and rustic wood finish, it works with a variety of decors, from raw industrial living rooms to countryside-inspired settings.
Rustic Cabinet
What we like: Half-open, half-closed storage
What we don’t like: No smaller drawers or shelves
Not so great for: If you want to hide everything away
Perfect for: Cottage/farmhouse décor schemes
We love the laidback vibe of this cabinet. Distinctly rustic, it is available in six different color options, including dark walnut and brushed white. The top surface will support up to 100lbs, whereas the two shelves within can support up to 30lbs. Usefully, the shelves are adjustable so you can fit what you need inside.
Made of high-grade MDF and laminate with some metal detail, it has been subtly distressed for a more authentic rural look. We think it would look great in an entryway due to its smaller size. The half-open, half-closed storage solution means you can store items in the closed side, and decorate the other.
Colorful quirky storage cabinets
Mercury Row®
With three shelves and a wide top surface, this unique storage cabinet gives you more than enough room for all the items that always end up scattered around your seating area. You can choose amongst three finishes to frame its bold geometric print.

Designer Advice:
Thanks to its bright multicolor design, you can use this cabinet to introduce some color in a neutral section of your living room. Its versatile elements help it match different styles, from mid-century modern to Scandinavian.
Unique storage cabinets with see through designs
Sauder Woodworking
As well as its indigo blue finish, we think you’re especially going to appreciate the creative geometrical cut-out design of its glass doors, creating a partial see-through effect. This unique cabinet also includes sustainable engineered wood produced using post-milling leftovers.
Designer Advice:
We mainly recommend it against white or pale neutral walls and in a room where you feel that a brighter accent color is needed. For cohesive results, introduce other decorative elements in an indigo finish, such as artwork or cushions.
Book shaped unique cabinet
Design Toscano
This 28” high cabinet might be small, but it’s guaranteed to make an impression thanks to its wooden design made to look like a stack of leather-bound hardbacks.
Designer Advice:
Hand-painted and similar to a work of art, it’s ideal for book lovers or for adding a sophisticated antique touch to other types of interiors. Still, we only recommend it if you don’t need to store too many items, as it only relies on one shelf-less section and a small drawer.
Floral Pattern Chest
Kelly Clarkson Home
What we like: Intricate floral detail
What we don’t like: Only one shelf within
Not so great for: If you have a lot to store
Perfect for: A vintage-inspired living room
Made from a mixture of MDF and solid wood, this chest is full of character and charm. The reclaimed wood finish is available in cream or a natural wood/cream mixture. Featuring one shelf within, we think it would best suit a living room. You can use it to store any consoles or DVDs that don’t fit in with your décor whilst creating a cozy cottage look.
The raised molding and exquisite floral scrollwork on this chest will bring texture and definition to the space around it. In addition, the neutral color scheme will blend seamlessly with many existing décor schemes, from muted to bright wallpaper designs.

Unusual cupboards with different storage solutions
With two drawers, two shelves and two partially hidden ones, the combination of open and closed storage offered by this unique cabinet makes it ideal for a variety of smaller items.
Designer Advice:
The distressed finish and charming barn door mean that it’s a no-brainer in rustic, farmhouse, and country cottage interiors. Decorate the top surface with items that reinforce these styles, such as a natural touch (a vase or plant), wooden pieces, or items nodding to farms and the countryside.
Tall & beautiful storage cabinets
Brushed white, rustic oak, gray wash: each of this 68” high cabinet’s finishes is even more charming than the next. With two fixed shelves and four adjustable ones, it makes it a breeze to create the right space for what you personally need to store in it, including taller items.
Designer Advice:
We recommend using its barn door strategically to cover the side where you’ll mainly chuck functional items and display the half with a few decorative statements or aesthetically pleasing pieces.
Unique cabinets with different drawers
We bet you’re immediately going to fall in love with the golden chevron pattern of the center drawer and how it breaks the light wood finish of this unique storage cabinet! Relying on solid mango wood and soft close drawers, this 39.3'' wide chest is durable, functional, and decorative.
Designer Advice:
Whether you decide to use it as a TV stand or in a different corner, it’ll provide plenty of storage space while introducing a subtle mid-century twist.
Mid Century Modern Solid Wood Cabinet
What we like: Made fully from solid wood
What we don’t like: Drawers don’t pull out all the way
Not so great for: Traditional homes
Perfect for: Adding retro flair to a space
This four-drawer cabinet is a great way to integrate the retro trend into your home without it looking out of place. You can choose from five colors, ranging from white to deep black. It takes inspiration from mid-century modern designs but with a modern twist.
Moreover, the clean-lined silhouette and tapered, flared legs make it a good choice for a minimalist home. Another brilliant feature of this cabinet is the pull-out panel, which allows you to rest your phone whilst it's charging. All drawers are felt-lined to cushion your clothes, whereas ball-bearing glides will prevent rusting.
