A white cabinet is a storage unit finished in white — typically in matte, satin, gloss or textured paint — used to organise household items while enhancing the interior aesthetic. White cabinets come in various forms, including cupboards, buffets, display units, bathroom cabinets, storage cabinets and linen cabinets. In Australian homes, a white cabinet is loved because it offers two major benefits: extra storage and a clean, timeless look that suits almost any decorating style.
In simple terms, a white cabinet helps keep clutter out of sight while naturally brightening a room, making spaces feel more open, tidy and stylish.
White cabinets come in an extensive range, each designed for different rooms and storage demands.
A long, low cabinet ideal for dining rooms and living spaces — great for storing servingware, table linen and décor.
Features glass doors for showcasing artwork, books and decorative accessories.
A multi-purpose unit with shelves and/or drawers suitable for bedrooms, playrooms, studies and hallways.
A moisture-resistant cabinet designed to store toiletries, towels and beauty essentials.
A tall cabinet built to store bedding, towels and spare linens — often found in hallways or laundries.
Pantry-style units suited to kitchens without built-in cabinetry.
Compact cabinets with drawers or shelf compartments for bedrooms and guest suites.
A white cabinet with drawers sized for office documents and home-business essentials.
In Australia, premium white cabinets are frequently sourced through designer-curated brands such as Gallery Home, Café Lighting & Living, Florabelle Collection, OneWorld Collection, Zaffero and Emac & Lawton, each known for unique craftsmanship, finishes and hardware details.
Selecting the perfect white cabinet depends on room size, storage needs and style goals.
Use this quick list:
Allow at least 80–100 cm clearance in front of cabinet doors
Leave 10–15 cm between cabinet and wall edges for airflow
For hallway placement, max width 45 cm to avoid narrow passageways

Style matching lamps or vases on each side of the cabinet for balance.
Add height variation
Combine tall stems, medium décor and a horizontal tray for a designer vignette.

Pair the cabinet with woven baskets or oak-accent décor.
