Whether you only play hostess for annual occasions or your fancy dinnerware has been passed down by so many generations that it belongs on Antiques Roadshow, you must store special pieces properly. It’s rare to have the cabinet space, so it makes sense to place the less frequently used items in a closet or basement until you’re ready to use them again. Here’s what to look for in dinnerware storage options that keep those pieces dust-free, chip-free and looking good as new.
