Sideboards & Buffets

More about Sideboards & Buffets

Try to picture the perfect room—what do you see? One thing’s for certain, there’s much more to furnishing our ideal spaces than tables and chairs, so let’s start looking to the sidelines. A wonderful piece that’s often overlooked, the sideboard is responsible for supporting any interior with both style and storage, two essentials no home should be without.

A rather big deal when it comes to dining rooms, this piece is more traditionally used in this domain to support a buffet of food or holding dishware. However, their practical use doesn’t stop there. These days, many have adopted this piece to house other items like plants, a bar, or even an entertainment unit. A brilliant console for your television, it can hide all unsightly chords while providing storage for remotes, sound equipment, and the like. Even if you have a mounted tv, a sideboard gives the impression of a balanced base that you can adorn any which way you like. Try peppering in a few ceramic planters with your favourite succulents on the side, adding some much needed greenery to your Sunday night movie date.

A bold staple for the bedroom, this unit is great for storing additional bits and pieces of your wardrobe. Keeping clutter at bay, this stylish dresser is also great at displaying your growing library. Tie it all together by mounting a framed print above or leaning your canvas print against the wall instead of up high, either way, a sideboard gives the perfect opportunity to tie your art in with the rest of your space. Design built for so many reasons—you’ll wonder how you ever made due without it.
