What better space to introduce some impactful drama than in the elegant formal dining space you share with guests? Arched-door glass cabinets make the perfect modern hutch for displaying your favorite dishware, barware, or china in style. Opt for cabinets with convenient drawers to hide less attractive entertaining essentials and keep the look clean and clutter-free. Lovely in a dark finish or in a two-tone look with natural wood, this arched cabinet with glass display doors is the perfect decorative addition to your formal dining room!

Alternatively, it would be stunning in an entertaining space with your favorite glassware or over a desk in a home office as an art cabinet showcasing a petite yet inspiring collection. These smaller-scale arched cabinets pack a lot of high-end style in a small package.

8. Luxe pantry cabinet

If your home lacks a formal pantry or just needs some additional pantry storage in the kitchen area, why not make it a wow moment by using an arched cabinet for pantry storage? Be sure to select an option with solid doors to hide the clutter, as well as adjustable shelves for creating flexibility within, like Kathy Kuo's Ivan cabinet. Using such a beautiful cabinet for a utilitarian purpose is an amazingly unexpected way to elevate your kitchen, bringing warmth and moody drama to a space that doesn't usually get the opportunity to boast stunning decorative furniture pieces.

9. Display cabinet flanking the fireplace

Built-in cabinets surrounding a fireplace have become a timeless living room classic. However, turn this commonplace idea on its head by incorporating a pair of freestanding arched cabinets on either side of the fireplace, like these from Seldens, for a fresh take on the concept. The curved cabinets can provide the same decorative display and storage needs as a built-in, while the unique shape creates distinctive visual interest. Perfect for renters or those without the depth for built-ins, showcase freestanding arched cabinets on one or both sides of the fireplace to add sophistication to your living room.

10. Kids room storage shelves

Why should adults get to have all the style and fun? Let your kids get in on the curvy cabinet trend by incorporating arched cabinets or open bookcases into their bedroom or playroom. Perfect for storing extra toys and books, there are smaller scale arched cabinets on the market perfectly proportioned for kids like the Aksel shelf by Crate & Barrel. Try using curved shelves to flank a sofa in the playroom instead of end tables, or sub them in for nightstands on either side of the bed. Better yet, line an empty wall with several cabinets to get a fun, whimsical scalloped effect!

11. Stylish Nightstand

Curvilinear cabinets are just as cool in miniature, so try using arched nightstands on either side of the bed in the primary suite. Perfect for adding some graceful curves and moody vibes to your bedroom, arched nightstands pack a lot of style and personality into a small package. We especially love the Alessondra nightstand by Wade Logan, with its fluted drawers. Just be cautious using these arched beauties in a guest space because visitors who may not be expecting the curved edges could end up with a spilled glass of water tipped on the bed in the middle of the night!

12. Narrow cabinet for a small space

To round out the list, think outside of the constraints of a four-walled room and create a beautiful vignette with an arched cabinet in a typically ignored transitional space in your home, such as at the end of a hallway. Ideal for a narrow spot where you would ordinarily showcase a piece of art for people to enjoy as they walk down the hall, swap in a dramatic curved cabinet to create a focal point for showing off your favorite treasures in an otherwise functional space.
