Hutch Heaven

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.
