Arch Cabinet

An arch cabinet is a storage unit defined by its curved or arched top profile, combining practical storage with a strong architectural silhouette. Often used as a statement piece, arch cabinets introduce softness and visual height to interiors while maintaining functionality. In a trade and commercial context, arch cabinets are specified for hotels, serviced apartments, show homes, and premium residential developments where design impact, durability, and repeatability are important.

How It’s Used in Commercial & Trade Interiors

Arch cabinets are commonly used across:

  • Hotel suites and public areas, providing enclosed storage while acting as a focal design element.

  • Serviced apartments, where vertical storage maximises space without overwhelming room layouts.

  • Show homes and marketing suites, helping define lifestyle-led interiors with architectural interest.

  • Residential developments, offering versatile storage for living, dining, or hallway spaces.

Trade buyers prioritise consistent sizing, finish repeatability, and reliable lead times, especially when specifying arch cabinets across multiple units or properties.

Materials, Design & Build Quality

Arch cabinets typically feature:

  • Solid wood or engineered timber carcasses, ensuring strength and long-term stability.

  • Painted, stained, or veneered finishes, often in neutral, dark, or textured tones suited to commercial interiors.

  • Integrated shelving or internal compartments, designed for practical everyday storage.

  • Metal hardware and soft-close mechanisms, supporting frequent use in hospitality or rental environments.

For trade buyers, key considerations include durability, ease of maintenance, and consistency of curved profiles, ensuring visual uniformity across large installations.
