No matter how many cabinets, shelves, armories, consoles or racks are there in the house, still we run short of storage space and we always welcome pretty-looking storage furniture any day. Étagère is a multi-purpose shelf which is functional yet beautiful to look at; ready to reduce clutter wherever we use it. It is an open kind of a shelf – not too big or heavy, ready to fit into a corner and be a home to a number of household knickknacks. Étagère can be made of any material – wood or metal – and in any style from classic, traditional, modern, contemporary, and transitional to shabby chic. With clean-cut lines, this minimal looking furniture comes in all finishes and colors to go with the décor of your home in whichever room you decide to put it. Easy to maintain and elegant looking, no wonder étagère is a great favourite with all the housewives.
Actually what is the difference between a baker’s rack and an étagère? Both are quite similar in many aspects. When they are made the traditional way – in metal – both have the scroll work – the hall mark of étagère. Baker’s rack is used exclusively in the kitchen while baking – for rolling out dough, storing flour, spices etc, whereas an étagère has been found useful indoors, outdoors, and anywhere – all the rooms of the home. An étagère sometimes comes with a counter top and shelves and sometimes with wine racks too. These are used in the kitchen or dining room. But you can employ an étagère to stack whatever you like – books, CDs, VCDs, DVDs, towels and toilet accessories, anything looks good. It is very handy to display photographs, flower vases, potteries, mantel-pieces and valuable curios. Use in the kitchen to hold spices and cookies!
Here are some beautiful looking etageres from GourmetDecorStore. Look how elegant is the big ‘X’ shaped étagère in wood in Ash veneer finish! And the corner piece with scroll work and five shelves can hold so many things! And the corner bakers’ rack in bronze finish and the étagère with wine storage facility – both would be welcome additions anywhere! I am quite sure you will love to have such a useful item in your kitchen or any room where you need to have some extra storage. You can take it outside near the pool to hold your glasses and soft drinks and other necessities. Get one today; you may find it extremely useful around the house!
