Credenza: The Perfect Blend of Form and Function

When it comes to decorating the home, there is nothing better than having something that is as beautiful as it is useful. This makes the credenza [kri-den-duh] a must-have in any formal or semi-formal dining room.

The credenza, which can range in design from modern to traditionally ornate, serves as an attractive storage option for china or other serving vessels that are not used on a daily basis and would otherwise take up valuable cabinet space in the kitchen.

Its utility goes even further by serving as a table top to place food in a buffet-style situation.

Credenzas, like this one, can be an alluring accent to a beautifully decorated dining table, or they can stand alone as the captivating focal point of the dining room.

Whether you’re looking for a special item to compliment (or enhance) your dining space or just need a place to store the third-generation fine china, the credenza deserves some serious
consideration.
