Storage Cabinets & Credenzas

Storage cabinets, credenzas, consoles, and sideboards are all designed to provide organized storage, but they are often used in different ways. Credenzas and sideboards are commonly used in dining rooms, living rooms, entryways, and offices, while consoles are often slimmer and well-suited for hallways or behind sofas. Storage cabinets typically offer enclosed compartments for keeping everyday items organized and out of sight.

When selecting a credenza or storage cabinet, consider where it will be used, what you need to store, and how the piece fits the room visually. Important features include adjustable shelves, drawers, soft-close doors, durable materials, cable management, and a size that provides useful storage without overwhelming the space.

A credenza helps reduce visible clutter by giving everyday items a dedicated place. Enclosed compartments, drawers, and adjustable shelves make it easier to store items such as dinnerware, office supplies, electronics, games, linens, or entryway essentials while keeping surfaces clean and organized.

Many BDI credenzas include drawers designed for smaller items that benefit from more contained storage. Depending on the design, drawers may be repositionable and may include liners to help keep contents secure and organized.

In many cases, yes. A storage cabinet or credenza can work well for smaller electronics, streaming devices, gaming accessories, or a wall-mounted TV setup. Because some credenzas are fully enclosed, devices that rely on Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, rather than line-of-sight IR signals, often work especially well—particularly compact streaming devices that do not generate significant heat. For components that do require IR control, an IR repeater may be used. For larger AV systems, it is important to look for features such as cable management, ventilation, and appropriate interior space. Explore BDI media cabinets and TV stands.

The right credenza size depends on the room, the available wall space, and what you need to store.

A longer credenza can anchor a larger room, while a slimmer console may work better in an entryway or smaller space.
