12 Accent Cabinets That Will Look Good Anywhere (and Hold All Your Stuff)

If your living space is like mine, there is always more stuff lying around than actual places to put it. And that goes pretty much for every room. Near the doorway, it’s mail, a pile of catalogs I think I will eventually peruse and kiddie bric-a-brac. In the dining room, extra tablemats, homework detritus, random out-of-circulation salt-and-pepper shakers. In the den, mysterious remotes I am afraid to throw away, magazines, kids games and many lost parts of kids games. If only there were a way to neatly house all this peripheral stuff to keep it accessible but, more importantly, out of sight?

Well, there is and it’s called an accent cabinet. Accent cabinet? You might say, doesn’t that sound slightly exotic and a little offbeat? It does and that is what’s so great about it! An accent cabinet is anything you want it to be in any space you want it to be. A place to park your entryway paraphernalia? Check. An overflow storage vessel in the dining room? Check.
