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 Hutch And Buffet
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023
    The difference between a hutch vs. a buffet is the design. A hutch is a piece of storage furniture that has a lower cabinet and an upper storage area with shelves that are open or placed behind doors. A buffet lacks this top storage area. Some hutches feature detachable tops and can convert into buffets. Find a variety of dining room furniture on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    A hutch is a set of cabinets or shelves placed on top of a desk. Hutches can also be found on counters, drawers, and even cabinets.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023
    Hutches were used for holding china and glassware in a kitchen. Decorative pieces could historically be placed on the upper shelves and smaller odds and ends could be tucked away in cabinets and drawers below. Today, many people still utilize hutches in this way, but they may also choose to store other items inside. On 1stDibs, shop a range of hutches.
  • 1stDibs ExpertJune 30, 2023
    Why a hutch is called that is due to the history of the English language. In Old English, the word for a box or chest is hwiċe or hwiċċe. Eventually, over time, the word became hutch, which refers to a type of case good that features a set of shelves or cabinets placed on top of a lower structure that is outfitted with drawers or additional cabinets. Hutches are most often found in dining rooms or kitchens. Shop a collection of hutches on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 5, 2021

  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2021
    The difference between a sideboard and a hutch is that a sideboard is a side table with cabinet doors that was originally used for serving, most often in a dining room (now, you might find a sideboard in a foyer or living room). A hutch is essentially a storage piece made of two parts — there is a set of shelves or cabinets on top of a lower unit, which features a counter and either cabinets or a set of drawers. In form, a credenza has much in common with a sideboard. A hutch might be of help in serving tea or other beverages, but it is more of a case piece than it is a piece of furniture that is used for serving. Shop a collection of antique, vintage and contemporary sideboards and hutches from some of the world’s top dealers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    A hutch cabinet is a multifunctional piece of furniture. It can be used to serve tea and coffee while also storing your favourite china and other larger serving dishes. On 1stDibs, find a collection of authentic hutch cabinets from some of the world’s top sellers.

  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 22, 2019

    Buffet furniture typically refers to the type of table found in dining rooms on which a host or hostess can serve food buffet style. A buffet table is usually taller than a sideboard, but carries a nearly identical function and form.

  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021
    A floating buffet is a cabinet that is wall-mounted in a way that floats above the ground. It generally has a flat surface that looks suspended. These buffets offer a sleek and modern look as compared to traditional storage options.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 12, 2024
    What you put in a buffet is a matter of personal preference. Traditionally, the purpose of a buffet is to provide storage in dining areas, so many people choose to keep dishes, servingware and glassware inside. However, you're free to use a buffet in any way that suits your organizational needs. Place one in the foyer to hide away shoes, bags and accessories, or put one in the living room to store board games and media. The only limit on how you can use a buffet in your home is your imagination. Explore a wide range of buffets on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 22, 2019

    The difference between a hutch and a credenza is their appearance: A hutch is usually a tall freestanding unit that contains cabinets or a display case that sits on top of the set of drawers underneath, and a credenza is a short and long table with low cabinets on slender legs, often with sliding doors for concealing the items inside the unit.

  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022
    The difference between a hutch and a breakfront is their shape. Both types of storage furniture feature sectioned designs. On a breakfront, the center sections are deeper, causing them to project outward more than the rest of the piece. A hutch normally has sections of equal depth. Some also have protruding shelves. Find a collection of breakfronts and hutches on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 22, 2019

    The top part of a hutch is either a display case or cabinets.

  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 17, 2023
    A hutch without the top is called a credenza or buffet. Some hutches feature removable tops, allowing them to convert into a buffet, while other designs have attached tops. Find a variety of hutches on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 22, 2019

    The main difference between a hutch and a china cabinet is their locations in a home. Although they look similar, a hutch can be placed in nearly any room and has a multipurpose use (for storage or displaying collections). A china cabinet is always in a dining room or kitchen and is used for storing and displaying fine china.

  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 19, 2021
