Display Cabinets
Show off your favourite glassware, china and collectables behind glass. Our display cabinets combine glazed upper doors with storage below. Choose oak, painted or reclaimed wood finishes from the Newton, Oakham and Arnewood ranges. They suit dining rooms, living rooms and kitchen-diners alike.
Display Cabinets: Keep It Visible, Keep It Safe
Some things deserve to be seen. Wedding china, crystal glasses and treasured collections all fall into this group. A display cabinet keeps them visible while protecting them from dust and knocks.
Where to Use a Display Cabinet
- Dining room – store glasses and serving dishes near the table.
- Living room – show off books, photos and ornaments.
- Kitchen-diner – display everyday crockery in style.
- Hallway – a slim cabinet makes a striking first impression.
What to Look For
Check the shelf spacing suits your items. Tall vases and wine glasses need more height. Glass shelves let light pass through. Wooden shelves are stronger for heavy plates. Lower cupboards or drawers hide less attractive items.
Lighting Your Display
A small battery LED strip or puck light inside the cabinet makes glassware sparkle. It's an easy upgrade with no wiring. Warm white light suits wood finishes best.
Styling Tips
Group items by colour or material. Put taller pieces at the back. Leave space between objects so each one stands out. Avoid overloading shelves.
Matching Furniture
Display cabinets sit well beside a sideboard from the same range. Pair two cabinets either side of a TV unit for a media wall. For wine, see our wine cabinets.
Care
Clean glass with a soft cloth and glass cleaner, sprayed onto the cloth not the cabinet. Fix tall cabinets to the wall for safety.

Display Cabinets: Frequently Asked Questions
What should I put in a display cabinet?
Glassware, china, collectables, books and framed photos all work well. Group items by colour or material for a tidy look.
How do I light a display cabinet without wiring?
Use battery-powered LED puck or strip lights. They stick inside the cabinet and need no electrician.
Should a display cabinet be fixed to the wall?
Yes. Tall cabinets should be secured to the wall to stop them tipping, especially with glass shelves loaded.
How do I clean the glass on a display cabinet?
Spray glass cleaner onto a soft cloth, not the cabinet, to avoid marking the wood around the glass.
