Expand The Storage In Your Dining Room With New Cabinets

If your dining room is adjacent to your kitchen, it makes sense to use the room as an extension. Having a way to display favorite dishes and cookware and a surface to place food for serving can make cabinets a great feature to consider.

Rather than feel conflicted about including cabinets in your dining room, consider the following ideas that can make them a welcome addition to the space. 

Stick to Base Cabinets

While your kitchen likely has base and upper cabinets, this look isn't a great fit for most dining rooms. Choosing only base cabinets for your dining room can give the room a more upscale appearance and allow for a lot of customization above the cabinets. 

Base cabinets that are placed either directly on the ground or with legs underneath can greatly expand storage and make it easy to keep things hidden or open as desired. Without the need for upper cabinetry, you can make the dining room different from the kitchen and ensure that the room has the flexibility to fit various decorating styles. 

Include Decorative Doors

Along with choosing cabinetry with the material and finish you want, there are plenty of choices to consider for the doors. Glass doors can make it easy to see precisely what each cabinet contains. At the same time, frosted glass can disguise everything inside. Solid wood doors are a classic choice that makes it easy to keep your things hidden and gives the dining room an upscale appearance depending on the finish.

The doors can have decorative carving or unique hardware for knobs and pulls, making it easier to customize your cabinets to whatever style you desire. 

Mix with Shelving 

Since you'll only be using base cabinets in the dining room, you can combine them with shelves installed above the cabinets. This can give your dining room a finished appearance and make it easy to display plants, cookware, and other decorations. Finding cabinetry you enjoy can lead you to choose shelving that suits the cabinets and has a seamless appearance together.

If you're eager to increase storage in your dining room and want the room to look fully furnished, cabinetry can be an excellent investment. Rather than choosing only a dining table and chairs and leaving the room bare, new cabinetry can give the room character and make it easier to store dishes and cookware without relying only on your kitchen.
