5 Best Ideas For Setting Up Crockery Cabinet

A crockery cabinet is something that most homes are starting to re-invent. At one point of time, crockery was very expensive and thus had to be stored with great care. Crockery cabinets were a part Victorian homes where the Chinawares in the house was actually ‘willed'. But then we moved on to the nuclear families with smaller homes and disposable crockery. Although crockery is no longer considered very ‘expensive', having a crockery cabinet may be good for your home.

We all have dinner sets and tea sets at home. These two are the favourite gift items at weddings. And usually they are stored haphazardly under the bed or kept in some corner of the kitchen. Now these crockery unit design ideas can help you to decorate your home with these dinner sets. The whole idea of having a crockery cabinet is to store these breakable goods properly and also decorate your dining room with the things you already own.

Here are some crockery cabinet ideas to help you with ways to display crockery. This is also one of the best ways to store your crockery.

Lights
One of the most important elements of a crockery unit is the lights you use in it. Always use high quality tiny studio lights for lighting up your crockery softly. Harsh lighting spoils the look of a crockery display unit.

Glass & Wood
The right combination of wood and glass will give you the best designs for a crockery unit. The unit itself must be made of wood. But the front showcase must be glass so that your collection of crockery is seen. Some of the shelves storing delicate things like cups and saucers should be glass so that the light can reflect on them.

Foldable Units
These days there is a lot of space crunch. So having an elaborate crockery unit may not be possible. You must go for foldable units or units set within the wall furnishings in that case.

Drawers
Make sure that your crockery unit has plenty of drawers. Apart from beauty, a crockery cabinet must also provide usability. So, you need clearly demarcated space to store spoons, serving spoons, soup bowls and salad forks.

Have A Serving Unit
Ideally, you should also have a stone sill from which you can serve food if required. This will help you to have buffets at home and also give you some added space to keep the food when you are having a large party at home.

Try these ideas to display your crockery and make the most of what you have.
