How to pick the right display cabinet for your home

The two key elements to consider when picking the right glass display cabinet include:

1. Size
2. Style

While the contents are the feature, a glass display cabinet will look best in a lounge or dining room if it matches the existing furniture. Our glass display cabinets such as Settler, Silverwood and Le Franschhoek are part of a range of living room and dining room furniture, so it’s easy to create a cohesive vibe within the home when you choose items from the same range.

If you’re putting your glass display cabinet in another area such as a hallway, entrance, family room or home office, it need not match other furniture but size will be an important factor.
