China cabinet and server for this room?

13 years ago
Are china cabinets dated? Not sure what pieces to buy for my dining room but like the idea of the extra storage and display space provided by a china cabinet. Maybe just a server and some floating shelves for my chachkees? Was thinking a unit between windows and another on the wall next to hall entrance. Picture the dining room chairs in an aqua fabric with coral design. Having them recovered. Bye bye blah!

    How much room do you have between chairs and wall between windows? You may not have room for china cabinet or full size server. Perhaps a piece that's only about 12-14" deep? With a mirror to reflect pendant and table. Do you mean wall to left of doorway (in picture)? There may be room for a china cabinet or deeper bookcase style cabinet with glass doors. Tall and more narrow than a traditional china cabinet. Are you going for a transitional look, slightly beachy?

    Since I don't know what style you're looking for I'll give you a bunch of inspiration picks, maybe something will grab you! :)

    The turquoise one above really is there for the style and color, it's too narrow. More pics

    Thx! 47" between the back of chairs and window wall. I am going for a beachy relaxed look. Im a bit conflicted bc my dining and living areas are joined and the tables in my living area are rustic reclaimed ship wood ( great looking but no storage). Would it be weird if I did 2 console height tables or should one be taller? I attached a photo of the adjoining living space and existing table style.

    How do i find out where the cabinet is from when i look at the photo?

    Hi, not sure what you mean by 2 consoles the same height or one taller? Do you want them in different areas in dining room? Like on the wall opposite the windows and another in the wall between the windows?

    Some of the cabinets were from crate and barrel, home decorators and some were antiques or second hand. I was really trying to give you an idea on styles and then we could search for a piece you would like. Kind of a "sampling"

    I think I would like 2 pieces, one between windows and one to picture left of the front hallway. I like the idea of a dark wood like my dining table and chairs. I like the first dark wood display unit in the last allotment of photos you posted. I would probably put that between the windows and then a shorter server/console height table next to frt hall entrance. Ideally i think the 2 pieces should match so i don't have too many mismatch pieces in the same room. Right now i have the reclaimed would in living and behind couch, and a modern dark wood dining table, to have 2 other pieces that don't match would be less visually cohesive. I think? Lol. Thanks for the help.

    I think you can mix things as long as they all complement the style that you're after. But if you're not comfortable with that we can look for some matching pieces. The beachy relaxed feeling that you're after could take a lot of finishes. Especially things like reclaimed wood or driftwood colors. But I will concentrate on dark tones for now. I'll post something in a few minutes:)

    Let me just show you this for a second, love the beachy feel. Wondering if this could go with tone in reclaimed wood tables in living room. Might be a good mix in room? Let me know, it also comes in black
