Curio Cabinets

What Is a Curio Cabinet?

A curio cabinet is a display case meant to showcase decor, collectables or other intriguing items. Typically consisting of metal or wood shelves behind glass doors, curio cabinets tend to have glass sides as well, allowing guests to view what's inside from different angles. In the home office, fill one with awards—framed diplomas or trophies convey a personal touch. As a playful take, display collectible sports memorabilia instead, such as signed balls or vintage equipment. In the dining room, consider a china cabinet to showcase your finest antique serveware and crystal wine glasses. Coordinate its colors with the dining chairs and table for a cohesive presentation.
