If you’re tired of the sleek, yet generic modern look in many of today’s kitchens, consider going in the opposite direction by decorating your kitchen with a style from a more simple time. Country style storage cabinets can bring back memories of your grandma’s kitchen with antique looking hutches, buffets, credenzas and sideboards in a variety of tones and materials.

Generally you would want your cabinet to match the style of the room (a country style cabinet in a country style kitchen) – but depending on the color of the cabinet, you may be able to mix styles.

Contemporary wooden shoe storage cabinet

If you find that your closet is running out of room due to your shoe collection, you may need to reconsider your shoe storage space. There are over-the-door canvas shoe holders or multi-tiered closet organizers that you can use. However, if you are looking for a stylish way to keep all of your shoes in one area, a contemporary wooden shoe storage cabinet will not only hold all of your shoes, but will look good in your bedroom, vestibule, entrance way or hallway as a contemporary furniture piece.

Jewelry storage armoire

Although jewelry can be kept and organized in a variety of ways, using existing furniture or inexpensive plastic containers, if you have a large collection of earrings, necklaces, bracelets, brooches and the like, you may want to invest in a jewelry armoire in order to do your collection justice. These cabinets usually consist of small drawers as well a mounted rods and hooks made to hang necklaces.

Corner linen storage cabinet

Depending on the layout of a room, sometimes a piece of furniture designed especially to fit in a corner is the best way to use the space. When it comes to corner cabinets, whether they actually give you more storage space than a regular model depends on the size and height of the cabinet itself. Remember that having cornered shelves may actually make placing certain items a bit awkward, so this should influence your decision when you choose your linen cabinet.

Square upholstered storage ottoman coffee table

You get the best of both worlds with a storage ottoman: a spot to relax and put your feet up, and a place to store magazines, books or cushions. Of course, an ottoman can also be used as an extra seat when guests come over, and as a cocktail or coffee table you can sit around. It’s a very versatile piece of furniture that not only looks good, but also saves space.
