The modern buffet has only been around since the later part of the 18th century. Before that, any piece of furniture that had a flat surface to serve meals and storage was commonly referred to as a buffet. A dining room buffet is one of the most functional pieces of dining furniture that you can have. Today, buffets are being utilized in all parts of the home. Here are just a few of the ways that you can use a dining room buffet to the fullest.
Types of Buffets
There are basically two different types of buffets, a table style buffet and a buffet with a hutch. While both types are very versatile, a table style buffet does offer more advantages as far as serving more than one purpose. However, if you have a beautiful set of china that you'd like to display, a hutch buffet is the better choice. Choose one with glass inserts in the doors so that you can your guests can enjoy whatever you display.
How to Choose the Perfect Buffet
With so many beautiful styles to choose from, choosing the perfect buffet can be hard. To use your buffet to the fullest in your dining room, you have to decide what you need before you shop. If you need extra storage space, look for buffets that have lots of drawers and shelves. If you need extra space for food during holidays or when you entertain, look for a buffet that is longer. As long as your buffet matches the decor of the rest of your dining room, there's no limits to which one you choose.
Add Storage to Your Dining Room with A Buffet
If you seem to always be looking for some where to store stuff in your kitchen or dining room, a buffet can be exactly what you need. Buffets are the most beautiful piece of storage furniture that you can own. For extra storage, look for buffets that have shelves hidden behind doors and drawers. You can use them to store table cloths, napkins, serving platters and trays, or anything else that you need to get out of the way.
Use Your Buffet for Entertaining
If you like to entertain guests or have large family dinners, a buffet can be very useful. You can cover the buffet with a nice table cloth and use it as a self serve food bar. Instead of taking up all of your dining room table space with serving platters and dishes, place the food on the buffet. That will give your guests more room to eat in comfort. You can even either use the buffet for entrees and side dishes, or turn your buffet into a desert bar.
Buffets Are Very Versatile
Although buffets are specifically designed to be used in the dining room, they are great to use in other areas of the home to. When paired with a elegant mirror, a buffet can add a decorative touch to a common foyer or hallway. If you are looking for a place to put your flat screen television in your bedroom, consider using a buffet. A buffet is the perfect height for watching television from bed and it will even give you extra storage.
