Traditionally used to hold dishes and dry goods, today\u2019s hutches do much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A typical hutch includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>A lower cabinet<\/strong> with drawers and doors for hidden storage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>An upper section<\/strong> with open shelves or glass doors<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Solid wood craftsmanship<\/strong> for lasting durability<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>While often used in dining rooms, a kitchen hutch is just as functional, adding organization, display space, and even an extra counter surface. It may become the spot for your mail, favorite mug, or that holiday garland in December. A hardworking hutch adapts to your routines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And when it&#8217;s Amish-made, you\u2019ll notice the difference in quality, longevity, and craftsmanship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-take-inventory-what-will-you-store\">1. Take Inventory: What Will You Store?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dishes, bakeware, linens, serving utensils\u2014yes, there\u2019s room for it all. Kitchen hutches come in all shapes and sizes with a variety of storage spaces. Take inventory of what needs to go in your hutch so you can choose accordingly. What kind of drawer, cabinet, and shelf combinations do you need to accommodate your items? What do you need to retrieve quickly, and what do you want to tuck away for occasional use?<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/Amish-Merediths-Hoosier-Hutch\/p\/47586\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"363\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Amish-Merediths-Hoosier-Hutch_400_0.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16204\" style=\"width:273px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Amish-Merediths-Hoosier-Hutch_400_0.jpg 363w, https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Amish-Merediths-Hoosier-Hutch_400_0-182x300.jpg 182w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 363px) 100vw, 363px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Amish <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/Amish-Merediths-Hoosier-Hutch\/p\/47586\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Meredith&#8217;s Hoosier Hutch<\/a> is available in a variety of wood types and stain colors.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-open-vs-closed-storage-which-is-right-for-you\">2. Open vs. Closed Storage: Which Is Right for You?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The main reason closed storage gets a gold star is because it prevents dust build up on the items in your hutch. On the flip side, open storage reminds you of the nice things you have, making you more likely to use them instead of forgetting that they\u2019re tucked in the bottom cabinet behind the ice bucket. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think about the items that will go in your hutch and what it will take to maintain them in open storage. How often will you be using items you plan to store? Open storage makes them easy to grab, but there will be more dusting involved. Closed storage also adds an extra layer of protection for items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Closed storage<\/strong> protects items from dust and creates a tidy appearance.<br \/><strong>Open storage<\/strong> keeps items visible and easy to grab\u2014but requires more upkeep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Choose based on what you\u2019re storing and how often you\u2019ll use it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/Amish-Concord-Corner-Hutch\/p\/3638\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Amish-Concord-Corner-Hutch_400_0.jpg\" alt=\"Amish Concord Corner Hutch\" class=\"wp-image-15982\" style=\"width:338px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Amish-Concord-Corner-Hutch_400_0.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Amish-Concord-Corner-Hutch_400_0-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/Amish-Concord-Corner-Hutch\/p\/3638\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Amish Concord Corner Hutch<\/a> with closed storage.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/Amish-Rustic-Log-Corner-Hutch-Cabinet\/p\/41147\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"386\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Amish-Rustic-Log-Corner-Hutch_400_0.jpg\" alt=\"Amish Rustic Log Corner Hutch\" class=\"wp-image-15984\" style=\"width:262px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Amish-Rustic-Log-Corner-Hutch_400_0.jpg 386w, https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Amish-Rustic-Log-Corner-Hutch_400_0-193x300.jpg 193w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 386px) 100vw, 386px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/Amish-Rustic-Log-Corner-Hutch-Cabinet\/p\/41147\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Amish Rustic Log Corner Hutch<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-measure-your-space\">3. Measure Your Space<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most important things to think about ahead of time is your kitchen hutch measurements. A substantial piece of furniture, you want to be sure there\u2019s enough room for your hutch and for you to use it comfortably. Know the ceiling height of your kitchen to be sure your hutch will fit. Measure the depth and width of the space where you plan to position your hutch. Account for that space if you plan to display something on top of your hutch. Remember, if the hutch style has certain features or parts that stick out, you must account for the space they will take up. Note outlets, switches, and artwork you don\u2019t want to cover with your hutch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kitchen hutches are substantial pieces of furniture. Measuring correctly is key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Height:<\/strong> Know your ceiling clearance\u2014many hutches reach 80&#8243;\u201384&#8243; tall<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Width &amp; Depth:<\/strong> Measure your wall space carefully, including door swing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Extra space:<\/strong> Account for decor on top or clearance needed for walkways<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Corners:<\/strong> A corner hutch can be perfect for small kitchens, but check both wall lengths<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a smaller kitchen or are limited on space, don\u2019t forget a corner kitchen hutch offers a more compact fit. Measure the corner space to be sure your selection will fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-match-the-hutch-style-to-your-home\">4. Match the Hutch Style to Your Home<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While kitchen hutches in farmhouse and rustic country styles are popular, explore your style options as you shop. There are a variety of Amish-made kitchen hutches available in a wide range of styles, including contemporary, formal, French country, mission, and transitional (a combination of contemporary and traditional).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amish kitchen hutches are available in many styles beyond rustic or country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Popular choices include:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Farmhouse:<\/strong> Open shelving, distressed finishes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mission:<\/strong> Straight lines, wood slats<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Shaker:<\/strong> Simple, clean, versatile<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>French Country:<\/strong> Curved details, antique finishes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Transitional:<\/strong> A blend of modern and traditional elements<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>Example: The Amish Arts and Crafts Hutch brings traditional charm with clean lines.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/Amish-Arts-Crafts-Hutch\/p\/47544\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"515\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Amish-Arts-and-Crafts-Hutch_400_0.jpg\" alt=\"Amish Arts and Crafts Hutch\" class=\"wp-image-15992\" style=\"width:214px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Amish-Arts-and-Crafts-Hutch_400_0.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Amish-Arts-and-Crafts-Hutch_400_0-233x300.jpg 233w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/Amish-Arts-Crafts-Hutch\/p\/47544\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Amish Arts and Crafts Hutch <\/a>wears more traditional elements.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-choose-the-right-features\">5.

Will you grab a coffee mug and plate from your hutch every morning, or turn on the inner light to showcase fine china? &nbsp;Think about what items you want to display and what you need serious storage space for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll enjoy a hutch with plate grooves to display plates. Features like a mirrored back and glass doors are perfect for a hutch showing some collectibles. Lighting is a big one too.
