From the Furniture Fair Showroom
"Cabinets and credenzas are some of the most versatile furniture pieces we sell because they solve storage challenges in almost every room of the home. We encourage customers to think beyond the dining room, many of these pieces work just as beautifully in living rooms, home offices, entryways, and hallways."
Brad Auberger, Florence Store Manager
What's the Difference Between a Cabinet and a Credenza?
The terms are often used interchangeably, but there are subtle differences.
A cabinet is a broad term for enclosed storage furniture that may include shelves, drawers, or doors. Cabinets work throughout the home, providing organized storage for everything from dinnerware and linens to electronics and office supplies.
A credenza is typically a lower-profile cabinet designed to provide storage while also serving as a display surface. Credenzas are commonly used in dining rooms, living rooms, and home offices, where they offer both function and refined style.
No matter which term you prefer, both provide an elegant solution for keeping your home organized.
Where Can You Use a Cabinet or Credenza?
One of the biggest advantages of cabinets and credenzas is their versatility.
Dining Rooms
Store serving dishes, table linens, entertaining essentials, and seasonal décor while creating a beautiful focal point for the room. A cabinet or credenza pairs beautifully with your dining table to create a coordinated dining space.
Living Rooms
Cabinets and credenzas provide attractive storage for games, blankets, electronics, and media accessories while complementing surrounding furniture. Some credenzas can even serve as a TV stand for a multi-purpose living room setup.
Home Offices
Organize files, office supplies, printers, and technology while maintaining a clean, professional workspace.
Entryways & Hallways
Create convenient storage for everyday essentials while adding decorative display space for artwork, lamps, and family photographs.
How to Choose the Right Cabinet or Credenza
Choosing the right storage furniture starts with understanding how you'll use it.
Consider Your Storage Needs
Think about what you'll be storing. Adjustable shelves, drawers, and enclosed cabinets each provide different types of organization.
Measure Your Space
Choose furniture that fits comfortably within the room while allowing enough clearance for cabinet doors and traffic flow.
Match Your Home's Style
Whether your décor is farmhouse, traditional, transitional, or contemporary, selecting complementary finishes and hardware helps create a cohesive design.
Balance Display & Storage
Many homeowners appreciate furniture that provides enclosed storage below while offering space on top for lamps, artwork, decorative accessories, or plants.
Cabinet vs. Credenza vs. Buffet
These furniture pieces share many similarities but are designed for slightly different purposes.
Choose a cabinet if you want flexible storage that can work in almost any room of the house.
Choose a credenza if you're looking for a lower-profile piece that combines storage with decorative display space.
Choose a buffet if your primary goal is dining room storage for serving pieces, dishes, and entertaining essentials.
Many collections coordinate beautifully together, allowing you to create a consistent look throughout your home. Pairing a credenza with matching accent chests can add extra storage and visual interest to any room.
