When it comes time to break out the “good stuff” (aka: the fine china), where do you head? If it’s not a piece of vintage dining storage like a credenza or china cabinet, let us be the first to say: it should be! Since dining rooms are notorious for being narrow, it can be difficult to work in dining storage—a major bummer when you’re looking for somewhere to stash those extra linens and steak knives! Thankfully, vintage dining storage pieces like china cabinets and buffets are custom-tailored to fit the small footprint. Equipped with drawers and shelving, dining room storage cabinets are ideal for storing extra service plates and sprawling sets of flatware. As a bonus, dining room storage cabinets like buffets and credenzas can double as extra serving space. Top a credenza with a table runner and you’ve got a place for guests to help themselves to platters and soup tureens, or even a dessert bar! If a credenza or cabinet isn’t multi-functional enough for you, you can also go the way of a dining room bench with storage. Just flip that top up to reveal storage space for tablecloths, napkins, and, yes, even plates! Need even more efficiency, keep an eye out for dining room tables with storage. Yes, they exist, and they’re kind of perfection.
