Our Picks
1
Apothecary style unique storage furniture
The fifteen different-sized drawers of this unique storage cabinet lead to a showstopping result despite its simple lines and monochrome finish. With a combination of recessed paneling and contrasting handles, it creates pleasant geometrical shapes.
Designer Advice:
The whitewashed finish of its solid wood makes it a natural match for both shabby chic and rustic, vintage, or farmhouse interiors. However, to help it pop, we mainly recommend placing it against walls in any color other than white and cream.

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.

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.

Accent storage cabinets
Mistana™
Manufactured by combining solid fir wood and hairpin metal legs, this unique storage cabinet consists of four mix-matched drawers in an adorable stacked design.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
