Hi there, cuties! We are doing something a little bit different for #FriendsoftheKuotes this month, and I really think it’s so fun and special! We recently worked with four lovely content creators on showcasing our popular and bestselling Ivan Display Case and different ways to style it IRL!
This arched display case has long been one of our most popular pieces, and it’s easy to see why! The Ivan is beautifully crafted from solid oak wood, tempered glass, and iron, and features two glass-front doors as well as four shelves (two shelves that line up with the door that are fixed and the two shelves that are removable). Plus, it’s available in four color options.
“One of my favorite things about working in the world of interior design and home furnishings is the way that the same item can look so different and exude such a distinctive look and feel depending on the space it’s in and the way it’s styled.”
This recent creator campaign is the perfect example of the power of design and styling in action—you can really see how the Ivan can read as modern classic, French country, coastal beach, or a combination of traditional and quiet luxury. Read on and prepare to have your creative spirit sparked!

The Ivan Display Case Styled by Brittany Richter of @DelightfullyWestern
Brittany Richter is a California-based interior designer and content creator with a major eye for genius styling choices. Brittany’s home is beautifully modern classic with farmhouse and equestrian touches. In short, her style is West Coast western meets Country Western.
The matte black Ivan Display Case fits effortlessly into her beautifully curated home—I love how the black wood both blends in perfectly, and creates a visual contrast with Brittany’s grays, browns, and off-whites. She styled the shelves with a mix of faux florals, organic-inspired sculptures, and antiqued books. Finally, she makes smart use of the lower section of the display case by using it to stash extra decorative pillows.
“This cabinet stands 84″ tall with five shelves to style. I love that this piece features glass doors with brass hardware so I can showcase all my favorite home decor pieces. This cabinet comes in four finishes all beautiful and unique.”

The Ivan Display Case Styled by Crystal Kemp of @CrystalHausofTreasures
Based in Pennsylvania, Crystal Kemp is a super-talented content creator with a focus on timeless interior styling (my kinda girl!). She’s all about cultivating a Nancy Meyers aesthetic—warm, relaxed, and coastal, but also curated, upscale, and elegant. Naturally, our Ivan display case in brown oak wood was a natural fit.
In keeping with her Nancy Meyers rom-com decor style, Crystal filled her Ivan with eclectic treasures that exude both Coastal Grandmother coziness, as well as French Country sophistication. I especially love the pop of blue from the ginger jar on the top shelf and the organic items, like the vases of florals and the coral sculpture.
“I have dreamed of this beauty for a long time and styling it with summer pieces was every bit as fun as I thought it would be! The Kathy Kuo Home Ivan Display Cabinet is a forever piece. A cherished place to showcase memories, found and collected.”

The Ivan Display Case Styled by Christine Melin of @HomeWithChrissyM
It wouldn’t be a #FRiendsoftheKuotes post without a healthy dose of Organic Modernism! Enter Christine Melin. Christine is a digital content creator with a commitment to showcase home styling ideas that are both beautiful and functional. No wonder that the Ivan, with it’s graceful arched silhouette and ample storage was a perfect fit for her chic home.
When it came time to style her shelves, I love that Christine embraced Organic Modernism, as well as just a touch of Wabi Sabi and Mid-Century Modern sensibility as well. The choice to add greenery to the top shelf for a verdant pop of color is so inspired, and it really sets the tone for the rest of the elegant and textured treasures here in Christine’s Ivan.
The final finishing flourish that makes this shelf styling motif extra-special? The marble tray topped with a collection of antiqued perfume bottles. Just effortlessly chic if you ask me!
“Constructed of solid oak, iron & tempered glass, resulting in the perfect touch of mid-century modern to your home. This best seller comes in four finishes, brown, matte black, matte black-brown and rustic white. We truly love how this cabinet elevates your eye and is perfect for our bedroom.” -Christine Melin writes on Instagram
