A buffet is so much more than just an ordinary run of the mill invitation to a standing room only dinner with relatives not in attendance
since the year prior.
A buffet hutch is one piece
of dining room furniture that can go a long way to setting the tone for your dining room decorating scheme be it an heirloom passed down through generations
or a styling piece purchased from Europe or the design haven that is Argentina.
Like a dining room table set the primary
issue in introducing a buffet hutch to your overall decor scheme is one of scale and proportion.
If the buffet hutch is sectioned off into multiple compartments whether or not behind doors, setting an interior design theme may be an issue,
but it need not be.
A simple rule of thumb is to create the desired effect on one side, and then mirror it on the opposite side.

Additionally, each row within
your buffet hutch should convey a story or motif, individual expressions employing varying and unique articles and different heights.
The buffet hutch is a
display or showcase and as such, décor accents should be brought forward, not tucked away.
Recent design trends have focused on a narrower buffet hutch.
European and Italian designs remain popular as do traditional hand made pieces predicated on years
of craftsmanship such as those by the Amish or Pennsylvania Dutch companies.
Heavy woods and dark finishes help convey a formal feeling. In sizing the buffet
hutch most appropriate to your dining space, bigger may not always be better.
Remember to leave enough room on each side for additional dining room chairs of which you can never have too many, particularly when
entertaining through the holiday season.
