Finding the Right Case Pieces And Storage Cabinets for You

Of all the vintage storage cabinets and antique case pieces that have become popular in modern interiors over the years, dressers, credenzas and cabinets have long been home staples, perfect for routine storage or protection of personal items. 

In the mid-19th century, cabinetmakers would mimic styles originating in the Louis XIV, Louis XV and Louis XVI eras for their dressers, bookshelves and other structures, and, later, simpler, streamlined wood designs allowed these “case pieces” or “case goods” — any furnishing that is unupholstered and has some semblance of a storage component — to blend into the background of any interior. 

Mid-century modern furniture enthusiasts will cite the tall modular wall units crafted in teak and other sought-after woods of the era by the likes of George Nelson, Poul Cadovius and Finn Juhl. For these highly customizable furnishings, designers of the day delivered an alternative to big, heavy bookcases by considering the use of space — and, in particular, walls — in new and innovative ways. Mid-century modern credenzas, which, long and low, evolved from tables that were built as early as the 14th century in Italy, typically have no legs or very short legs and have grown in popularity as an alluring storage option over time. 

Although the name immediately invokes images of clothing, dressers were initially created in Europe for a much different purpose. This furnishing was initially a flat-surfaced, low-profile side table equipped with a few drawers — a common fixture used to dress and prepare meats in English kitchens throughout the Tudor period. The drawers served as perfect utensil storage. It wasn’t until the design made its way to North America that it became enlarged and equipped with enough space to hold clothing and cosmetics. The very history of case pieces is a testament to their versatility and well-earned place in any room. 

In the spirit of positioning your case goods center stage, decluttering can now be design-minded.

A contemporary case piece with open shelving and painted wood details can prove functional as a storage unit as easily as it can a room divider. Alternatively, apothecary cabinets are charming case goods similar in size to early dressers or commodes but with uniquely sized shelving and (often numerous) drawers.

Whether you’re seeking a playful sideboard that features colored glass and metal details, an antique Italian hand-carved storage cabinet or a glass-door vitrine to store and show off your collectibles, there are options for you on 1stDibs.

Questions About Hanging Kitchen Cabinet
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023
    Where you hang a pendant light over a kitchen sink is largely a matter of personal preference. If you're installing a new light fixture, consider where you most need task lighting. You may find it better to hang the lamp off to one side to illuminate a food prep area. Generally, there should be 35 to 40 inches of space between the bottom of the pendant and the countertop to allow for adequate clearance. On 1stDibs, find a collection of pendant lights.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021
    Traditional knobs and metal bars are the most popular kitchen cabinet pulls. They’re timeless and easily customizable.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    You can do a number of things with metal kitchen cabinets. They can provide storage space not only in a kitchen, but also in other rooms of the home. To enhance their appearance, consider refinishing them or installing new hardware. Find a variety of metal kitchen cabinets on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    Yes lacquer is good for kitchen cabinets since it is hard and durable. Lacquer finishes tend to be quite smooth and seamless.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    While a lot has to do with personal preference and price point, the best wood for cabinets include Red Oak, White Oak, Maple Wood, Hickory Wood, Cherry Wood and Birch Wood. All of these are fairly strong and durable.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021
    Corner kitchen cabinets tend to be bigger than regular cabinets. Using corner cabinets to store larger items, such as blenders, rice cookers and slow-cookers, is an efficient way to put these furnishings to work.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    Considering the fact that oak kitchen cabinets were most popular during the 1980s and 90s, they may feel slightly outdated today. However, depending on how the rest of the kitchen is designed, oak cabinets can certainly appear more contemporary.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021
    Modular kitchen cabinets can be made out of any material, but wood, steel and fiberboard are the most common materials.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    Yes, painting kitchen cabinets is a great idea. Painting kitchen cabinets is quite economical and can give your kitchen a stylish, updated look.
