Scour flea markets and second-hand shops for slightly worn hutches. This white charmer has a shabby chic vibe. And notice that the shelves don’t have to be arranged symmetrically to be appealing.
If wall space allows, choose a large farmhouse hutch to create a pretty focal point in any room. In a kids room, a large hutch can display vintage toys. In the bathroom, towels and pretty toiletries can be arranged on the shelves.
Most people display collectibles in a hutch. It’s almost like hanging artwork on a wall.
If you’re displaying smaller items, consider giving the interior of your hutch a creative finish, like hand-painted flowers. Use a stencil if your art skills are a little lacking. You could also make good use of leftover wallpaper on the inside of a hutch.
To create a truly functional hutch, display often-used items like everyday dishes or linens.
