Featuring a classic design with beadboard paneling in a distressed finish and antiqued nickel hardware, the Home Styles Nantucket (about $465) looks just as appropriate in a contemporary living space as it does among traditional furnishings.

Modeled after the rugged shelving units used in commercial kitchens, the Trinity EcoStorage (around $197) can be assembled in minutes, with rear brackets to keep contents from tumbling backward, and a capacity for up to 800 pounds on casters or a whopping 4,800 on stationary feet.

The Sauder Summer Home (about $131) is a great solution for a galley kitchen or other area where additional furnishings may be a tight fit. With a compact, 21.5" x 14.5" footprint, it's got more than enough room inside to stash everything from spice collections to big boxes of cereal.

The multifunctional Home Styles Buffet Server (around $423) comes in a wide array of sizes and configurations to fit your unique cooking and dining habits — from a large sideboard with wine bottle storage in the center to a narrow base cabinet and hutch with cable management in between.

From its breezy, louvered-door facade to the four adjustable shelves' worth of room within to accommodate overflow storage, the easygoing style of the Sauder Harbor View (around $199) is a great way to add casual utility and a touch of charm to your living space.

The SimpliHome Warm Shaker (appx. $297) assortment includes various sizes and finishes with coordinating knobs to match your decor, and open-front spaces to store short items or bottled goods, plus covered storage behind attractive, tempered-glass doors with mullioned panes.

You can arrange the shelving of the Sauder HomePlus (about $337) to create your own custom layout that will keep everything you need to prepare and enjoy home-cooked meals conveniently organized and within easy reach without cluttering up the kitchen or dining area.

If what you really need is a place to put your microwave, slow cooker or stand mixer and free up some counter space, the American Furniture Classics Buffet (appx. $201) could be the way to go. It pairs spacious cabinetry with an extra work surface that will come in handy at mealtimes.
