A hutch is a piece of furniture made from two parts stacked on top of each other.
Hutches have been a staple in homes throughout history.
But the beauty of a good quality hutch is its versatility and durability.

Plus, a hutch can serve more than one purpose at a time.
Hutches with open shelves or glass-front cabinet doors are perfect forstoring and displaying china sets.
Use plate stands to display your favorite platters on the shelves or surface sections.

Don’t have any china to display?
Consider storing more niche baking and cooking supplies you don’t use every day in your hutch.
Place cake stands on the shelves and mixers and pans in the cabinets.
Bookshelf
You probably have more books than you have shelf space.
Store leftover books in stacks or baskets in the lower cabinets for easy access.
Place bigger coffee table books, candles, and a lamp on the counter piece to finish the look.
Coffee and Drink Bar
Transform an old hutch into a one-of-a-kindcoffee bar.
Store extra equipment and ingredients, like coffee beans and pods, in the drawers or cabinets below.
For a new take on anat-home bar, store your favorite glasses and liquor bottles in your hutch.
Place bottles on a platter and keep limes and other fruits in a fruit bowl on the counter.
Store extra dishes and pitchers in the cabinets.
If you don’t like the look of mismatched containers, transfer goods to air-tight canisters with labels.
Use baskets and other organizers to store smaller kitchen tools and linens.
