A credenza is a sideboard, it’s often used in dining rooms, kitchens and living rooms for storing different things, and it can be used as a home bar. Today I’m going to inspire you with some of the coolest modern credenzas, with which you can make a bold statement in your home design.

Do you have a sweet tooth like me? If yes, you’ll be just excited with this credenza! Its design reminds of sweets like no other!

Such a playful and whimsy piece will be a compliment for any modern interior.

A central vertical seam beckons a physical response: with a gentle push, internal rails slide further and further apart until it seems that the cabinet has erupted from its original form. As its exterior extends and extrudes outward, it retains aesthetically beautiful geometric proportions.

If you need a cool minimalist piece, though funny and colorful, with a slight mid-century accent, you’ll like this one – Credenza by Chuck Routhier.

The piece is handmade of 1″ Baltic birch plywood, with rubber dipped legs and a choice of reversible felt-covered sliding doors.

Big Sur Credenza is inspired by Central California’s Big Sur area. The piece is unusual, first of all, due to the straight lines and amazing wood: a ripple in wood on one side and a large scarred latch on the other. The weaving side is handmade, there are 4 drawers hidden behind it. The second part of the credenza has a unique lock where you can see the remaining imperfectness of the wood.

The Birch Bark Series of cabinets feature door panels clad in birch bark that’s harvested in northeastern Alaska, which are paired with black or white lacquered cabinets for a modern look.

The cabinets come in various sizes, ranging from bedside pieces to credenzas, making sure there’s one to fit your needs.

A grid pattern was cut into the sliding doors and graphic patterns were used on the tray and bucket that holds ice or a bottle. The bucket can even be used as a vase or as a planter.

Inspired by stained glass windows found at holy sites, the colorful Credenza series uses contemporary, graphic patterns and playful colors, the pieces were produced by highly skilled Italian artisans that still use the thousand-year old manual technique. Much like the stained glass windows, the pieces were designed to have light pass through them changing the look and feel of the space they’re presented in.
