CABINETS & SHELVES

Cabinets and shelves should do more than simply store things away. They should create order, add character to a room and look good while doing it. Here you'll find raw and rustic cabinets, shelving units, display cabinets, wall shelves and wall cabinets in wood, metal and glass, all featuring plenty of patina and an industrial look.

Some are old cabinets and one of a kind finds with wear marks, history and wonderfully imperfect charm. Others are more uniform storage solutions in metal or wood, where storage and display go hand in hand. Use them in a café, restaurant, shop, office or home when you want storage with more personality than something from the "it-just-needs-to-be-practical" department.

Find the cabinet or shelf that suits your space

Here you'll find different types of cabinets and shelves, each with its own purpose. Some are ideal for storage. Others work just as well for displaying glassware, products, books or decorative objects.

Metal display cabinets and chest of drawers

Metal display cabinets and metal chest of drawers combine storage and display. Glass doors allow you to showcase items while keeping them protected behind closed doors. They are often used for tableware, bottles, products or decoration in cafés, restaurants, shops and homes. The drawers in a metal chest of drawers make it easy to hide away the things you would rather keep out of sight.

Metal cabinets and vintage lockers

Metal cabinets and vintage lockers add plenty of character to an interior and work well for storing everything from office supplies and tableware to products and personal belongings. Many models feature a raw industrial look inspired by old factories, workshops and changing rooms.

Wooden display cabinets and cabinets

Wooden display cabinets and cabinets bring warmth and substance to an interior. Here you'll find both cabinets with glass doors and more enclosed storage solutions, suitable for everything from tableware and bottles to books, products and everyday storage.

Wall shelves and wall racks

Wall shelves and wall racks are an obvious choice when storage should not take up valuable floor space. They are often used for decoration, books, glassware, plants or smaller items in kitchens, cafés, shops and homes.

Wall cabinets

Wall cabinets combine wall-mounted storage with solid doors or glass doors. They work well for items that should be easy to access without necessarily being fully on display.

Shelves

Shelves provide storage while also bringing life to an interior. Use them for books, products, decorative objects or as room dividers in larger spaces. Several models work well as a subtle way to separate different zones in your café, restaurant, shop or office.

Cabinets and shelves in wood, metal and glass

Materials play a major role in both function and atmosphere. Wood adds warmth and a more organic feel. Metal brings edge, weight and industrial character. Glass allows you to display contents without leaving everything fully exposed.

When choosing cabinets and shelves, it makes sense to consider:

• Should the contents be displayed or hidden away?
• Should the furniture stand on the floor or hang on the wall?
• Do you need closed storage, open display or a combination of both?
• Should the look be raw, rustic, industrial or more understated?

Will the furniture be used in a café, restaurant, shop, office or home?

It's not just about storage space. It's also about how storage becomes part of the interior.

Storage with patina, character and personality

Cabinets and shelves often occupy a significant part of a room. That is why they should contribute more than shelves and doors alone. An old cabinet can bring warmth and history to a shop. A display cabinet can turn tableware or products into part of the décor. A wall shelf can create a focal point without taking up floor space.

At Trademark Living, you'll find both more uniform solutions and old finds with clear variations. These might include patina in the wood, small dents in the metal, worn edges, old repairs or colours that vary slightly from piece to piece. They are not flaws. More often than not, they are exactly what gives the furniture its character.

See cabinets and shelves in person

Many cabinets and shelves vary in colour, patina, size and details. This is especially true for old cabinets, one of a kind products and furniture made from reclaimed materials. That is why it often makes sense to experience them up close before making your choice.

In our 500 m² B2B showroom in Skanderborg, you can see the materials, open the doors, get a feel for the dimensions and assess how cabinets, shelving units, wall shelves and display cabinets work together with the rest of an interior.

FAQ about cabinets and shelves

What is the difference between a display cabinet and a regular cabinet?

A display cabinet typically features glass doors, allowing you to see the contents, while a regular cabinet hides the contents behind solid doors.

When does a shelving unit make more sense than a cabinet?

A shelving unit is often the better choice when the contents should remain visible and become part of the interior. A cabinet is more suitable for items that should be stored out of sight.

How deep are cabinets typically?

Many cabinets are between approximately 35 and 50 cm deep. This provides useful storage space without making the furniture feel too bulky.

Can shelving units be used as room dividers?

Yes. Many open shelving units work well as light room dividers because they separate spaces without completely blocking light or visibility. However, it is important to ensure that the shelving unit is stable and suitable for this purpose, especially if it is positioned freely in a room rather than against a wall. If you are unsure which shelving units work best as room dividers, feel free to contact us. You are also welcome to visit our showroom to see, experience and compare the different options.

What are lockers typically used for?

Lockers are often used to store personal belongings, office supplies, tableware or products in shops, cafés, restaurants and office environments.

Are all cabinets and shelves identical?

Not always. Many old and handpicked pieces naturally vary in colour, patina, wear marks and details, which is a large part of their charm.
