Cupboards

Cupboard buyer’s guide

Cupboards are an essential part of the storage mix all round your home, and you’ll find the perfect designs for every room in our large collection. Pick from floorstanding or wall-hung versions – the latter can save space in small rooms, including the hall and the bathroom. For small homes and compact rooms our range also includes slim cupboards that turn wasted vertical space into useful storage without overcrowding the floorplan. We also offer neat designs that add plenty of useful storage in a smaller footprint – take a look at our New England double or French cupboard if you need to make the most of a small room. Need to size up your storage instead? Opt for one of our modular designs. These are made up of individual units so the final design is down to you with your piece of furniture sized to fit both what you need to store and your room – across a whole wall if you prefer. We can help you put together the perfect modular storage combination, and because at The Dormy House all our furniture is made to order, you can be sure that whatever storage cupboard you need, we’ll create the ideal design.

Choose cupboards with the right storage

Our cupboard designs include those where everything you store is behind closed doors, as well as cupboards that have open shelving in their configuration. When you’re choosing, think about exactly what you’re going to want to store in your cupboard, and whether it should be on display or concealed. If the contents are practical – for example supplies in the bathroom – a design like our French laundry cupboard will store everything neatly behind doors, or in a drawer. For a dining space, our New Hampshire triple cupboard provides brilliant storage for tableware, cutlery and linens in a cupboard and drawer combination that will keep the contents clean, dust-free and ready to use. You might like a cupboard that includes both options, so there’s room for tidying items away plus open shelves for your most beautiful pieces or decorative accessories. Our New Hampshire dressers are a contemporary take on a classic piece of furniture with doors on the base units and display shelving above. And if your cupboard is to provide storage for books and accessories, you can select a design such as our modular wall storage and keep the majority of the storage open. 


Add in small cupboards

We have small cupboards for a variety of rooms, adding functional storage even when space is at a premium. For the bathroom and ensuite, where the floor is often fully occupied by the fittings, our New England mirror cupboard combines two essentials into one piece of furniture, adding storage and a mirror that can be positioned where it’s needed above the basin. The New England bathroom cabinet offers shelving sized for small items that would get lost in larger storage, together with a shelf that lets you bring personality to the room as well as making everyday items easily available. In the hall, our classic hallway organiser is a multi-tasker with storage, a mirror and hanging space all in one neat package. Small cupboards are also a bedroom must-have. Beside the bed a cabinet that can be home to a table lamp and bedtime reading is vital, and ours have either open or concealed storage below. Many of our cupboards would work in any space around the home. Our New Hampshire single drawer cupboard is ideal to add extra storage in a bedroom, utility room, or even a kitchen and requires little floor space. Or, if there’s none at all, hang a double wall cupboard in a kitchen, living space or hall.

Give home storage cupboards individual style

You can choose to have your home storage cupboards finished in any one of our elegant paint shades. For an understated look, opt for one of our pale colours. Teamed with a light wall paint colour, they’ll make your home storage an unobtrusive part of the scheme even while they’re working hard creating a home for all your essentials. Alternatively, pick an accent shade for storage and match to upholstery or soft furnishings to pull a room scheme together. Our paint selection also contains dramatic, on-trend darks. And, if you prefer, our home storage cupboards are available unpainted so that you can finish them yourself in a shade you’ve fallen for. For open storage elements a two colour finish with a different shade for the back of shelves and cubbyholes can create a statement piece. Don’t forget the finishing touches, such as handles and knobs. We offer a huge range with both contemporary and classic styles and a range of materials for these details so you can get a consistent finish in your room schemes.
