Tall Accent Cabinets
That item has been discontinued, but here are similar options.
At 60 inches and up, a tall accent cabinet stops being something you look down at and becomes a vertical line in the room. Our accent cabinets at this height run from narrow tallboys to glass front hutches that rise close to the ceiling, putting storage up the wall instead of across the floor.
Where a tall accent cabinet helps, and where it looms
In a room where everything sits below the window line, a cabinet that rises past it pulls the eye up and gives the ceiling a reason to be that high. That helps in high rooms that feel empty above eye level, and in small rooms where floor space is scarce and wall height is not. A tall dark cabinet beside a seating area can loom, though. Give it a wall where it can be seen whole, not one you brush past at arm's length.
A tall accent cabinet with solid fronts, or glass above
A tall accent cabinet with doors is the calm version, one solid plane with nothing to style. Our accent cabinets with doors include many of these, and several of the taller ones put glass doors above and solid doors below. Use that split like this: things worth seeing at eye level behind glass, everyday storage below the waist behind wood.
A tall storage cabinet for a living room or entry
As a tall storage cabinet for a living room or entry, the shape works well narrow. Pieces between 30 and 40 inches wide can hold a corner or flank a doorway without crowding it. Wider hutches, up to 60 inches and beyond, behave more like a furniture wall and need a room you can step back in. If the main job is books, our tall bookcases do it with less mass.
Tall accent cabinets in black, oak and carved mahogany
Dark finishes on a tall accent cabinet against a light wall
Hand rubbed black, matte black steel and black oak all appear here, and at full height they read as a dark column. Against white or plaster walls that column anchors the room. Our black accent cabinets gather the dark finishes at every height if you want to compare them side by side.
Arched tall display cabinets in natural oak
Natural oak keeps a tall form light. Some pieces rise to an arched crown or rounded corners above glass front display shelves, and an arch at that height softens a room full of right angles.
Hand carved hutches and tall bar cabinets
Hand carved mahogany hutches carry pattern up the whole face, and in low light the carving picks up depth. Tall bar cabinets with wine storage suit a dining room, keeping bottles and glassware behind doors.
Placing a tall accent cabinet without crowding the ceiling
A cabinet that stops an inch or two short of the ceiling looks forced into the room. Leave clear air above it, a gap wide enough to read as intended, and line the top up with door trim or window heads where you can. Then anchor it to the wall, because a tall case is top heavy by nature.
Depth reads as bulk on a tall piece. From across the room extra depth adds visible mass, so a shallower tall case can look lighter than a deeper, shorter one. I check depth on a tall cabinet before I check anything else.
One tall line, then quiet
A room needs one strong vertical, not three. Let the tall cabinet be that line and keep the furniture around it low, so nothing competes with it for height.
