China Cabinets and China Hutches
The China Cabinet and the China Hutch is one of the most important pieces of furniture in your dining room, next to of course the dining room table and chairs.
The china cabinet or the china hutch as some people call it, is the storage area for your china, crystal, flatware and serving pieces that you would use at your dining room table. Most commonly everyone tends to buy a dining room set where all the pieces match each other. Just like decor in your living room, where the trend is NOT to match, that is carrying over into your dining room as well.
Woods, such as oak, mahogany, cherry, walnut or maple are some of the popular choices for the china cabinet or hutch. However today since the décor style of Contemporary is very popular, we are seeing the china cabinet being designed in chrome and glass, wrought iron and glass, and high gloss veneers on a man-made material. Sleek and shiny works well with this design. However, if you just love the ''woodsy'' look, then there always is and will always be, lots of woods to choose from for your china hutch.
Vintage China Cabinets|Hutches are making a HUGE comeback! Mixing something old with something new can be a lot of fun today. Allowing yourself for example a contemporary dining room table and chairs, but add Grandma's favorite walnut china cabinet, filled with old and new glassware, adds interest and texture to the space and probably a smile or two from Grandma as well.
Always keep in mind the size and scale of your room, so your not stuffing it from floor to ceiling with large over-sized pieces. In years gone by the china cabinet was always a huge cumbersome piece of furniture, but with smaller sized living spaces today, you need to be mindful as to how you fill your dining space.
