A china cabinet is usually placed in the dining room and serves as both a way to showcase and store special occasion dishes, family heirlooms and decorator pieces pertaining to dining and cookery. Which one you choose depends largely on the theme of your home and how many pieces of china or other dishes you need to store.

Some are even fashioned with an included liquor cabinets or wine storage. There are also smaller versions of a traditional china cabinet that can be used for people with smaller rooms or smaller collections of fancy dishes. Choose one that suits your needs perfectly. You do not want an outsized cabinet if you only have a service for four to display.
