Shagreen Cabinet

What Is a Shagreen Cabinet?
A shagreen cabinet features a distinctive textured finish inspired by the skin of stingrays. Traditionally used in luxurious French décor, modern shagreen furniture incorporates faux or real finishes to create a refined, pebbled texture that's both tactile and visually rich.

Why Choose a Shagreen Finish?

  • Luxury Appeal: Once reserved for designer furniture brands, shagreen now appears in collections from Theodore Alexander, Caracole Furniture, and Jonathan Charles.

  • Textural Contrast: Adds depth and elegance, pairing well with smooth marble, brushed brass, or glass.

  • Timeless Neutrality: Shades like beige, grey, ivory, or taupe work effortlessly with most colour palettes—ideal for luxury interiors UK.

Popular Styles:

  • Shagreen Bedside Tables: Combine with luxury bedside cabinets or a bronze desk for a premium hotel-style look.

  • Shagreen Sideboards: A perfect centrepiece in an entryway, especially when paired with a luxury wall mirror or bronze wall art UK.

  • Shagreen Dressing Tables: Ideal in elegant bedrooms or as part of a Japandi furniture UK scheme.

Design Pairings:

  • Place next to a leopard print chair UK or emerald bar stools for eclectic edge.

  • Pair with a ripple sideboard, light and living lamp, or oval dining table 200cm to add balance and contrast.

  • Accentuate the texture with burnt orange and beige living room tones for warmth.

Where to Find Shagreen Furniture:
At House of Isabella UK, we offer a curated selection of shagreen pieces, including cabinets, sideboards, and luxury storage trunks. Our pieces from Caracole, Eichholtz, and Richmond Interiors bring this tactile trend into both classic and contemporary homes.

Olive Tree

I absolutely love this tree. It is larger in width that I expected & would have liked it to not have been as wide. However we have kept it & eventually I’ll buy a less wide olive tree for the position I have & will use this one in a larger space. It is beautiful & worth keeping.
The pot isn’t a pure white, which again I would have preferred. As you can see from the photos it looks good regardless of my preferences.

Great table for small spaces.

Looked high and low for an adaptable dining table that would fit into a small space. It's really clever and neat the way I can extend the table if needed. Found HOI really efficient at both the ordering and arranging delivery. Would definitely use them again without any hesitation.
