Buffet/Sideboards

Yes, a kitchen sideboard or sideboard buffet cabinet is handy for storing platters, glassware, small appliances and extra pantry items. In the dining room, a dining buffet sideboard can hold plates, cutlery and table linen, while in the living room a sideboard cabinet is great for games, books and media storage.

Start with a few key pieces, such as a table lamp, a mirror or artwork above the sideboard, and a mix of books, plants or vases on top. Keep some empty space between items so your buffet sideboard still feels calm and functional, and avoid overloading it with small accessories.

A sideboard buffet storage cabinet is ideal for dinnerware, serving bowls, glassware and table linen. Many styles also include drawers for cutlery and smaller items. In living areas, sideboards and cabinets can hide cables, devices, kids’ toys and everyday clutter so the room feels tidier.

Traditionally, a buffet sideboard sits in the dining room for serving food and storing dinnerware, while a sideboard cabinet can be used in living rooms, hallways or open-plan spaces for extra storage. These days, most people use “buffets and sideboards” interchangeably and choose based on size, style and where it will live in the home.

Measure the wall and leave some space at each end so the sideboard doesn’t feel cramped. A long sideboard suits larger dining rooms and open-plan areas, while a small sideboard or narrow sideboard works better in apartments, hallways or compact living rooms.

For a classic look, a white sideboard or oak sideboard pairs easily with most dining tables and chairs. A black sideboard or walnut sideboard gives stronger contrast, and a rattan sideboard or timber sideboard suits coastal or relaxed interiors. If you prefer a cleaner look, a modern sideboard with simple doors and drawers works well with contemporary furniture.

Our sideboards and buffets are crafted from durable materials, including engineered timber, timber-look finishes, and metal accents, depending on the design. These materials provide everyday durability and a clean, versatile look that suits a range of interiors.
