Bespoke Dining Room Cabinets To Suit Every Taste
A bespoke dining room cabinet with beautifully organised storage will make any mealtime feel like a special occasion. The best types of cabinets are multifunctional, providing you with practical storage for tableware, a surface for serving food and drinks and a display area to showcase decorative items. When well-designed and constructed, the bespoke piece will be a stunning focal point in your dining area.
A cabinet custom-made for your dining area can feature any combination of shelves, drawers, cupboards and countertop. Because it’s made to measure you can have it built into an existing wall or an alcove to create a seamless storage solution that matches the exact contours of your space.
These are the three main types of dining room cabinets are sideboards, drinks cabinets and dressers.
Sideboard
A sideboard, also called a buffet, is a classic and versatile piece of furniture consisting of a mix of drawers and cupboards for storing all kinds of dining items such dinnerware, cutlery, glasses and table linen. It typically also provides a surface for serving and displaying food and drinks. A traditional feature of any high-end dining room, a well-designed sideboard will keep all your dining items neatly organised and within easy reach. A buffet cabinet tends to have a longer, more horizontal profile for serving food. Typically, a sideboard is about the same height as the dining table. However, if you plan to use your sideboard as a serving surface regularly, ensure it is slightly higher than your dining table with an easy to clean, heat-resistant surface.
Drinks cabinet or home bar or cocktail unit
A bespoke drinks cabinet can be designed as a traditional storage and display unit or a luxury home bar providing storage for spirits and glassware as well as a surface for mixing drinks. A drinks cabinet can feature drawers, cupboards, toughened glass shelves, bottle racks and even a mini basin and integrated fridge. It’s the perfect piece of furniture for hosting and entertaining. If you’re planning to serve food and drinks from your cabinet, a stone top, such as granite or marble, would be both stylish, hardwearing and easy to wipe clean.
Dresser or display unit
From a lavish display cabinet to a simple Welsh dresser, a dresser is a versatile piece of furniture to keep and organise tableware and storage jars. Not just practical, it also has an undeniable aesthetic charm as it can display beautiful crockery and other ornamental items on open shelves or behind glazed doors. Cupboards or drawers below will keep small appliances and table line neatly stored.
When your dining room cabinet is bespoke, it will be made to measure to fit your space. It can be low and wide, narrow and tall or anything in between. It can even be installed in an alcove with millimetre precision. A custom-made cabinet can also have integrated electric sockets for charging or connecting devices, as well as task or mood lighting to further increase its functionality and decorative appeal. An original cabinet made by Bespoke by Acorn, using high quality materials and construction methods that have stood the test of centuries, will be a special and timeless asset that will transcend evolving trends.
