There’s a hot decor trend popping up in the home decor, and it’s rocking an antique furniture piece to make a statement and add a refined touch. And it’s not only for vintage or refined interiors, in modern spaces vintage furniture looks even more eye-catchy and cool. We’ve already shown some ideas to incorporate vintage chests and cupboards, and today I’d like to show how to rock another popular thing: an apothecary cabinet. If you have one, you are lucky, don’t throw it away, let’s see how you can add an edgy touch to your interior with it.
Entryway Console Table
Most of entryways have enough space to accommodate a console table – a big or a small one. Take your apothecary cabinet and hack it as you need – add texture sanding it or paint it in the color that you like. An apothecary cabinet is a great thing for an entryway because it features enough storage space both inside and on top. If you don’t have an apothecary cabinet, you can take IKEA Rast and turn it into one easily – it will be a cute and simple console.

Living Room Console Table
Most living rooms can accommodate and some even require a console table as a space divider, and an apothecary cabinet is an ideal item to use as such a piece. Find out what look you want: an industrial vintage one, a rustic vintage one or a shabby chic, and hack your apothecary cabinet accordingly. If you want a shabby chic apothecary cabinet, rock pastels and sand it a bit. For an industrial touch, add metal framing and matching handles. To achieve a rustic look, you can go for various shades of stain.
