Some people have different versions of “ultimate” luxury, especially when it comes to designing a home. I would imagine a man would think an incredibly large five-car garage would be appealing. Kids may think that having a game room and pool slides would be the ideal wow-factor for a home. Most women dream of a beautifully large closet and perfectly appointed bathroom. Then there are those few who think one special room would be the best display of true luxury- a china room.

If you haven’t guessed, I would fall in the latter category. Don’t misunderstand, I think a roomy closet and fresh carrara marble bathroom is fabulous, but to me a china room would be the ultimate cherry on top of the cake. There is something so wonderful about a room or china closet that can store all of your entertaining essentials. A kitchen is great for food, cooking, and everyday use, but a china room can separate the mundane from the magnificent.

My future Anna Weatherly and Majolica will thank me later. My future significant other…well, probably not so much.

Large glass cabinets make for the perfect display of china on the side of this kitchen featured in Veranda.

A very vast china collection in this home featured in Attic Mag.

Speaking of Majolica. Another lovely display of china by Shelley Gordon that also allows for storage below. Similar to the first photo in the post. Photo source: Traditional Home
