China desk features

Its sides are usually closed so you can see only from the front side, it helps to accentuate the main view, and you shouldn’t think about the side views of your tableware.

China desk styles

• Traditional style
As a vintage piece, cabinets are primarily made in the classic style. The wood material's rough surface creates a subtle contrast with the white porcelain and glass shelves. Carvings and moldings that usually decorate cabinets can enrich your dining area with elegance and refinement.
• Transitional style
For the transitional style, cabinets are elaborated in a more restrained way. They feature traditional silhouettes and crown-shaped or rectangular shapes and can be decorated( but less than the traditional style models). More bold and bright finishes and more experiments with the finishes like different textures and color inlays.

How to choose a china cabinet?

The cabinet should be chosen in the first place following the room’s size. Depending on how much space you are ready to give, you can decide what type will be the best for you. Then you can look at the style in which your room is made. If it is a purely traditional style, choose a model that corresponds to it; you can select a transitional design for more contemporary spaces.

Then it would help if you considered that a light source is essential for this furniture piece because it looks the best when lit. Glass shelves will shine, and a lighted rich wood texture will give your dining area a more sophisticated image.

China cabinet can become a perfect decor accent if it is the right furniture piece for you and placed in the right place.
