Thanks to their dramatic yet graceful shape, these curved cabinets will stop your guests in their tracks.
With various configurations on the market to suit your specific needs, there are so many ways to use these popular arched cabinets for stylish storage throughout your home. Ideal as a bar cabinet in the dining room, collection display in your living room, bookshelf in your office, or linen cabinet in your bathroom, these versatile pieces can do it all. Typically available in a dark finish to instantly add strong contrast, these arched cabinets are a slam dunk for achieving the moody vibes (and practical storage or display space) of your dreams in any room.
1. Dining room china hutch
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!

You can also pair multiple units together for an incredibly unique look on a larger wall.
3. Wall-Mounted cabinet
Not all arched cabinet options require an abundance of floor space to enjoy, as is the case with a small wall-mounted curved cabinet. The Fern wall cabinet from Anthropologie is ideal for mounting in the bathroom to beautifully display your high-end products, perfumes, or candles. 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.
4. Spectacular sideboard
Not every arched cabinet has to be tall – why not bring the stunning curvy cabinet trend into your home with an incredible arched horizontal sideboard in your dining room? The unique, standout look of Burke Decor's Salone sideboard may cost a fair amount of dough, but the moody character and high-end design impact the sideboard brings to your space is worth every penny. These arched sideboard cabinets provide a ton of storage and give you the opportunity to pair your horizontal cabinet with an incredible piece of art or mirror to instantly elevate the look of your home.
5. Stunning bar cabinet
Ideal for any area in which you entertain, such as a dining room, living space, or even covered patio, consider adding an arched cabinet as a fabulous bar cabinet. There are many options on the market perfectly outfitted for the job, like this industrial bar cabinet from Homary. This perfectly-tailored piece includes storage for wine bottles and glasses. Tailored to your specific mixology needs, an all-in-one arched bar cabinet perfectly contains everything you need to liven up the party in one show-stopping piece of furniture.
6. Bathroom linen cabinet
Who says your bathroom linen chest needs to be boring or strictly utilitarian? Class up any bath with an incredible arched linen cabinet for storing extra towels and sheets. The House of Hackney curio cabinet from Anthropologie offers maximum elegance with a glass door showing off its wallpaper interior. Drawers will help stash extra bathroom products out of sight but within easy reach. Nothing screams luxury more than a jaw-dropping curved cabinet unexpectedly showcased in a bathroom for additional storage.
7. Upscale media console
Level up your family or theater room by utilizing an upscale media console with graceful curved edges. Available in multiple pieces which can be combined to make an incredible curvilinear living room set, Crate & Barrel's Annie credenza boast tons of practical storage for your TV-binging requirements. It also features cutouts for cord control to keep the aesthetic looking top-notch. Your guilty pleasure reality TV show never looked better than when complemented with a gorgeous arched credenza. Anchoring and elevating the space with its distinctive silhouette, a curved-edge media console will add high-end design impact to your television viewing experience.
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.
