Display Cabinets

Display cabinets are a form of storage unit which can be used to display valuables and other items of interest in the kitchen, dining room or living room.  Display cabinets may include a diverse range of storage types, such as shelf compartments, glass cabinets, cupboards and drawers, in a variety of combinations to suit your requirements.

What are the different materials for display units?

Display cabinets are often made using wood and have traditionally incorporated glass doors into their design.

A glass display cabinet is still a popular choice, and many are available in our collection.  Glass display units are well-suited to traditional and classic contemporary style furnishings, but can also look good in a modern design with a high gloss finish.

Many of our wood cabinets are made in oak for its outstanding colour and woodgrain, but painted options and other woods are also available.

A modern high gloss option is easier to clean than a wood display cabinet and boasts plenty of modern appeal.

Style

When selecting your cabinet, think about the style you would prefer.  Our collection includes reclaimed wood cabinets, painted classic contemporary options, rustic oak cabinets and modern high gloss cabinets.

Rustic cabinets are a wonderful addition to a country style dining room, whereas reclaimed wood options are better suited to a distressed, shabby chic or industrial style dining room.  Painted options with pretty handles are perfect for a classic contemporary look, while high gloss has wow factor and a sleek appearance for that modern look.

Room

The place your display cabinet is going to go can have an impact on which model you choose.  For example, an oak display cabinet may not be as well-suited to a room with high moisture levels, such as the kitchen.  It’s worth double-checking the finish on a wood display unit to see whether it has any water resistance.  A waxed finish provides more protection against moisture than a lacquered finish and will therefore keep the unit in good condition for longer.  Alternatively, you might want to try an alternative style, such as a cabinet with a high gloss finish.

Narrow or small display cabinets can work well in the living room, whereas a larger display cabinet is best used in the dining room or kitchen and is an excellent place to keep crockery and glassware.
