Creating A Place for Every Thing — A Quick Look at Curio Cabinets
From large-scale display cabinets that feel like part of the architecture to small curio cabinets that bring a hallway to life, these glass-fronted cabinets seamlessly layer style and depth into any space. Once a mainstay in traditional interiors, curio cabinets are making a comeback, both in antique-inspired silhouettes and reimagined with modern lines and fresh, curated displays.
The typical design features two glass doors with interior shelving. Modern curio cabinets often feature a seamless glass front, while traditional styles like this Cressida Curio Cabinet may feature a paned glass design for a classic flair. Most stand with a tall profile, but they can also sit with a low or even extended case for a display-forward alternative to a sideboard or media console. Other designs may include lower drawers or cabinets, offering a mix of discreet storage and showcase shelving.
In a transitional home design, a black curio cabinet like the Mathus Curio Cabinet can fold in with quiet impact and create a striking backdrop for everything inside. Or the piece can become a design statement of its own, as in an arched curio cabinet like this Apolline Curio Cabinet, which pairs natural grain warmth with a tall and striking profile. Like any large piece of furniture, we want to look beyond the cabinet itself and consider how it reflects and enhances the space as a whole.
How to Style A Curio Cabinet, Room by Room
The beauty of a glass curio cabinet is its versatility—it can enhance nearly any space in your home. Whether you're looking to add impact to an entryway or create a curated moment in the dining room, here's how to bring intention and style to any space.
Dining Room
A display cabinet can bring a refined touch to your dining room, offering an elegant showcase for china, glassware, or vintage finds. Whether it’s a tall curio cabinet for a timeless feel or something that includes practical storage like our Carly Curio Sideboard, glass display cabinets help elevate your dining space. No matter the piece, the combination of function and style adds a layer of sophistication.
Living Room
Glass curio cabinets are a natural fit for the living room, where they can balance soft furnishings with architectural structure and add a touch of shine. Whether you're styling sculptural objects, vintage books, or a mindful mix, these cabinets help bring a layered look to your space. For bold contrast, try a black curio cabinet to ground your palette while putting your most-loved pieces on display.
Entryway or Hall
In an entryway or hallway, a curio cabinet can create a stylish first impression without overwhelming the space. A small curio cabinet is ideal here, offering just enough room to showcase meaningful objects, layered textures, or seasonal accents. It's an effortless way to bring personality to transitional spaces while keeping things light and curated.
Home Office or Study
A curio display cabinet can bring much-needed color and texture to your home office or study. Whether you’re going for a library feel or something chic and compact like our Malcom Small Curio Cabinet, it can be a great way to warm up your workspace with mementos and grounding touches. A tall curio cabinet or display case can also serve as the perfect backdrop for hopping on a call.
