A curio cabinet is a way to display your favorite and most treasured possessions. It is usually made of a wood frame and has glass inlays on three, or even all four, sides. Some have glass inlays only on the door. They can also have a metal frame instead of a wood frame. This will depend on the style you choose and these cabinets come in several different styles. They are available to match nearly any type of décor that you are using to decorate your home.
One popular style is the corner curio cabinet. This type is nice because it is out of the way and fits discreetly in the corner while still highlighting your collection. For those that have a larger room, a two-way display is a wonderful choice. The two-way style is a freestanding unit that can be viewed from both sides. This is particularly nice for the person with a large collection of eccentric pieces that are best showcased where they can be seen at all angles, while still having the protection of glass. Another type is the console. This is similar in styling to an enclosed bookcase or armoire, but because of the glass doors (and sometimes glass sides), you will be able to view the contents. This sort usually sits flat to the wall. Moreover, speaking of walls, the final style we will discuss is the wall curio cabinet. This type is mounted right to the wall. The benefit of utilizing this kind is that you will save precious floor space. This comes in really handy if you have a smaller room that you would like to feature your items in.
Metal Floating Shelves
Curios can be found in a variety of woods, metals and colored finishes. For a warm look, you may want to consider a golden oak, honey pine, cherry or amaretto finish. If you are looking for something contemporary, you may want to lean toward a black or metal finish. With some that are more in line with the modern styling, it can seem as if there is barely a frame at all, much less a color or finish. These will give the appearance of floating glass. Another thing to mull over when deciding on a curio cabinet is the number of shelves that you will need. If you have larger pieces in your collection, you will need less shelving. You collection will take up a larger amount of space per item so two or three shelves should be sufficient. However, if you have a collection of smaller items, you may want more shelving. Five or six shelves will give you more surface area on which to display your pieces.
Some other features that can be found in a curio cabinet are a glass mirrored back, adjustable shelving and a sliding door. Some cabinets come standard with lights and a door lock. The lights brighten up the area so your collection is more visible, while the lock keeps your treasure protected.
