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
