We all dream of wide open spaces. The countryside, the
beach, the rooftop of an elegant urban skyscraper; or just the kitchen. Cramped
kitchen and dining room spaces are a common gripe, with everything from
toasters to fine china collections being spirited away to basements and closets
to make room for actually cooking and consuming.
Hutches, however, offer a scalable solution to many of our
dining area dilemmas. They come in an
infinite number of styles, colors and sizes. Here are a few of our favorites:
Cottage Style Hutch
Small and rustic, cottage style hutches are ideal for
cramped kitchens and easy to reach storage. With glass doors, try arranging
your everyday plates and platters in a sophisticated but simple arrangement
that will free up cabinet space for appliances. If the doors are solid, try the
opposite approach.
Free Standing Open
Hutch
Have a little more space? Large, open hutches are perfect
for pulling double duty. Bottom cabinets can store unsightly appliances and
kitchen gadgets, while the open top can turn your fine china into a dining room
art display.
Furniture Style Hutch
If you’re going for a more unified style throughout the
home, try picking out a hutch in a wood or material already prevalent in your
aesthetic. If it works in the other rooms of your house, it will likely fit
seamlessly into your dining room or kitchen as well.
