A cupboard is piece of furniture that originated in the middle ages as a board or table for cups or mugs. The word also may have been used for a stepped sideboard and later for open shelves, both to display plate. Since the 16th century the name "cupboard" has referred to a storage area enclosed by doors. A cupboard is a type of cabinet, often made of wood, used indoors to store household objects such as food and crockery, and protect them from dust and dirt.

This days kitchen and bathroom cupboards are available in just about any architectural style and price range. Whether you're looking for a distressed antique finish (Byzantine and Romanesque) , easy-to-clean laminate, or natural wood you should be able to find just what you want.Cupboards can be made in many natural woods such as oak, ash, maple, cherry, with a variety of stains, or with painted or glazed surfaces.
Framed Faced Cupboards are traditional in appearance due to the wooden frame applied to the face of the cupboard box that creates openings for the drawers and cupboards.
Frameless Faced Cupboards a construction technique that originated in post war Europe which is more contemporary in appearance. Door and drawer fronts cover the front of cupboard boxes completely, so all you can see are the narrow gaps between the doors and drawers. They have a little more room inside because there is no overhanging face frame, and changing the entire look of the kitchen is as simple as buying new doors and drawer fronts.
There are no dictionary entries for china cupboard, basically china cupboard is the
very similar piece of furniture (as a board or table for cups or plates etc,) like European cupboard, with patterns of china.
