Corner curio cabinets are the perfect solution to this problem, since they offer an out of the way solution for solving your precious storage needs. They can be made out of just about any material imaginable from metal to glass and offer special features for keeping valuable collections safe, such as UV safe glass and a humidifier to keep the temperature for certain items just right. The price you pay for these features depends on the cabinet you purchase, with the most basic models starting at $200 with no added features and more complex models sitting comfortably around $1,500 with all the bells and whistles designed to keep your collection safe.
Some of the most common items people store in curio cabinets include collectible shot glasses, teapots, porcelain & flatware, sports awards and trophies, and fine china. Of course, you can store just about any item imaginable, but you will need to take the size of your collection into consideration when purchasing your cabinet. Standard corner curio cabinets range in height from being just a few shelves high, to extending all the way to the ceiling. The Howard Miller Duane corner curio cabinet is a good example of this style, with seven shelves for neatly displaying all of your belongings and a rich walnut finish to complement just about any decor. It is one of the more expensive corner curio cabinets sitting at around $530, but it is well worth it to have such an elegant place to store your collectibles.
A more affordable option is the Southern Enterprises lighted corner curio cabinet, which offers five shelves, three of which are adjustable. The outer finish is a golden oak that complements any country style home and the lighting serves to highlight your most important pieces without drawing attention away from the rest of your collection. This cabinet costs a mere $280, making it a grand option for anyone looking for collectible storage on a budget.
As you can see, there are a wide variety of cabinets suited for your style and price range.
