Is there something more cozy in the kitchen than the shelves with the showcased beautiful dishes, clay pots, dishes and plates? All these details "domesticate" the interior, bring it a bit of warmth and coziness. But if you purchase the kitchen cabinet , the usual shelves will not be compared to this massive goblin made of natural wood or veneer.
A kitchen buffet in the classic sense is a massive closed cabinet for kitchen utensils, which stands on the floor, and from above there is a built-in closet with glass doors closed. Here you need to clarify that the doors can be completely transparent, allowing you to display for public inspection all kitchen utensils, which are neatly placed on the shelves, and can have a small transparent window through which only a part of the contents of the shelves is visible. Between the lower part and the top one can still have an open table top, on which frequently used kitchen objects are exposed, vases with flowers or fruits, various figurines.

The cupboards are closed and open, the latter are also called showcases. They are a cabinet with shelves, which are closed with glass doors. Showcases can be in the form of a high and narrow pencil case, which is placed on the floor. Alternatively, when the showcase has a square or rectangular shape and is mounted on a kitchen cabinet, such showcases are called "extension to a buffet".

But what about ultramodern interiors, do not they have a suitable buffet model for them? Of course, there is! The modern buffet has laconic forms, it is self-sufficient, strict and self-confident, it does not need any "decorations".And in materials from which it is made, it is not limited only to a tree.

Agree, the new furniture looks excellent, but it is not cheap. If suddenly you inherited grandmother's sideboard, do not throw it away, because earlier they made furniture soundly and for many years. Arrange it in order, restore it yourself or assign this work to the master. In the end, you can update the old buffet with a new painting or decoupage. Of course, the restoration of the buffet will cost money, but such costs will be less than the cost of new kitchen furniture.

Where to put the buffet
If the kitchen is spacious, then a table buffet is better to put in the dining area near the table or in front of the entrance to the kitchen. Attention of any visitor to the kitchen will immediately attract an original sideboard with carefully arranged dishes, and even group photos of the whole family.
If you have a separate room under the dining area, then of course, it's better to put a large and capacious sideboard there. Buffets for the dining room can consist of several sections( for example, you can combine a large sideboard and a corner display case) and, as a rule, these kitchen furniture sets have many open shelves to accommodate as many beautiful kitchen utensils as possible.
