Concepts in Wood Storage Cabinets

Open Shelves

• An open shelf wooden storage concept is a unit where the shelves are fully exposed. This means that all the content on the shelves is fully exposed as well. These types of wooden storage concepts are frequently used to showcase decorations rather than common items, such as plates, utensils, clothing or tools.

Closed Storage Cabinet

• A closed storage cabinet is a wooden cabinet unit with doors to hide all shelves in the unit. The cabinet unit doors may be simple and treated with wooden stain or paint, or be decorated with smaller molding pieces, if they must match with other wooden cabinets or storage units in the home.

Glass Doors

• Wood storage cabinets get an elegant and luxurious lift when a glass door is added. Glass doors allow you to store away items, but the items are visible. This concept is frequently used when items, such as vintage plates and wine glasses, are displayed in the home. Some wooden units combine wooden doors and glass doors to hide portions of the storage unit.

Corner Cabinet Concepts

• Corner cabinet concepts are triangular, so they fit into a corner of a room, such as the kitchen or dining room. Corner cabinets may consist of drawers, shelves or a combination of both, and the drawers and shelves will be triangular-shaped to fit the corner of the room. A corner cabinet shelf unit may have wooden or glass doors to give it a clean and elegant finish.

Combination Storage Units

• Another concept in wooden storage cabinets is combining drawers and cabinets in a single storage unit. The drawers are often located on the bottom of the storage cabinet unit to provide solid support and stability to the entire unit. Shelves or cabinets with doors are often located on the top of the cabinet unit.
