Kitchen Storage Idea: The Built-in China Cabinet

February 6, 2019

If you’ve always thought china cabinets were destined for the dining room, you might be interested in this idea. . . What about moving the cabinet/hutch/armoire into the kitchen and even having it built-in as a custom storage option? Here are a few examples that caught my attention:

This image is one of my favorites. I love the look of a very traditional china cabinet seamlessly woven into an updated kitchen and with the open shelving in the same finish.  Source: Remedy

The addition of this green cabinet in Edie’s kitchen has always stuck with me. Technically, it’s not a built-in but the clean lines work so well with the cabinetry and I love mixing up the gray cabinets with a fun color—as demonstrated in my own kitchen. ;)  Source: @LifeinGrace on Instagram

This hutch was original to the house but I love the way they sanded it down. Adding a patterned black and white tile makes the whole thing look modern and fresh. Source: Joanna Gaines

This is a stunner. Chelsea designed this custom cabinet for her client’s kitchen and I love the contrast of black in a white kitchen.  Source: @ChelseaHorsleyDesign on Instagram

This is a really pretty example of new cabinetry made to look like a built-in china cabinet. I like how she repeated the light wood tones in the pendants and a wood detail on the kitchen hood.  Source: Design Loves Detail

    We almost did this when we remodeled our kitchen. We opted for a bench instead. I love it but I miss the storage.

    Thanks for showing what is most current. I wondered if the younger generation is even using china hutches now?

    I think the idea of using a china cabinet in a kitchen is similar to having an un-kitchen. Utilizing furniture instead of cabinets. It seems very old world to me. I love it.

    I love the integrated look. If you are not familiar with @edithanneduncan on IG then you need to go take a look at her built in storage!! Be sure to scroll back and see the Breakfast room cabinet with all of the silver. Amazing!

    I have been considering this as an option in a kitchen or butler’s pantry. Thank you for the inspiration to go ahead!

    I love this look. Now I know what to do with my grandmother’s china hutch sitting in storage! Dreaming of a future kitchen reno :)

    Love this look. These kitchens are so much more interesting and dimensional that what I’ve seen lately.
