Accent Cabinets & Chests

Cabinets typically feature doors (with or without shelving inside) and are often wider than they are tall, making them ideal for storing dishes, media equipment, or displaying items behind glass doors. Chests are usually taller with multiple drawers stacked vertically, perfect for clothing, linens, or organized storage. Both serve as accent furniture that combines storage with decorative appeal, working beautifully alongside accent tables and other furniture.

Accent cabinets work beautifully in dining rooms for dish storage, living rooms as media consoles or bar cabinets, entryways for organizing essentials, or home offices for file storage. Chests suit bedrooms for clothing, hallways for linens, or living rooms for blanket storage. Place them against walls, flank them with chairs, or use them to divide open spaces. Top with mirrors, wall art, or decorative accessories for styled vignettes.

Our collection features various sizes from compact 30-inch cabinets perfect for small spaces to substantial 72-inch sideboards for dining rooms. Heights range from low media consoles (24-30 inches) to tall storage cabinets (60+ inches). Styles include modern minimalist with clean lines, mid-century with tapered legs, industrial with metal accents, traditional with ornate details, and transitional designs that bridge multiple aesthetics.

Solid wood cabinets and chests offer durability and timeless appeal in finishes like natural oak, walnut, or painted options. Wood veneers provide beautiful grain patterns at accessible prices. Mixed materials combining wood with metal, glass, or stone create contemporary interest. Popular finishes include natural wood tones, matte black, white or cream, distressed or weathered looks, and rich espresso or mahogany stains that coordinate with existing furniture.

Create balanced vignettes using the rule of three—group items in odd numbers. Layer heights with tall items like lamps or vases, medium items like framed prints or books, and low items like decorative bowls or trays. Lean artwork against the wall for casual elegance. Add a table lamp for ambient lighting. Include natural elements like plants or botanicals. Leave some negative space—don't overcrowd the surface.

Dust regularly with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For wood finishes, use furniture polish occasionally to maintain luster and protect the surface. Wipe spills immediately to prevent water rings or stains. Avoid placing in direct sunlight to prevent fading. Use coasters and placemats to protect surfaces. Tighten hardware periodically to maintain stability. For glass doors or panels, clean with streak-free glass cleaner. Treat wood cabinets with care—they're investments that last generations with proper maintenance.
