A Sideboard as a Dining Room & Living Room Furniture
First, let’s describe a sideboard. This piece of furniture with a low profile and long shape offers plenty of storage space. It usually has short legs, while some can have cabinets that reach all the way to the floor. But the modern sideboard comes in an extensive range of styles and features.
Traditional sideboards have plenty of drawers and cupboards. They’re usually placed in the dining area to store table linens, crockery, cutlery, glasses, and other tableware.
Modern-day sideboards come in different sizes. Not only do they have drawers, but they also have shelves and compartments with doors for storing all your bits and bobs.
In the living room, a sideboard can be a practical addition while solving your storage needs. It can serve as a media unit or TV stand and use the storage space for controllers, CDs, DVDs, and game consoles.
You can also use it to display ornaments, framed family photos, plants, books, and other decorations. it will simply keep your living room clutter-free.
Not everyone would believe this, but a small sideboard is going to be a perfect addition to the kids’ or baby room! It will be a handy storage space to neatly tuck away blankets and toys.
A side unit will also look attractive in the hallway to match the door and existing décor. In the bedroom, you can place accessories or appliances on top, like lamps, and clothing in drawers.
Style: Should You Pick a Traditional or Modern Sideboard?
We were able to establish that sideboards would add style and function in every room, but how can you choose which sideboard to shop for? Other than the price, you have to ensure that the furniture you pick matches the rest of the interior of the room you’ll place it in.
The materials that are characteristically used in making sideboards include wood types such as walnut, pine, oak, and mahogany.
Does it mean that this piece of furniture is old-fashioned? Sideboards may be considered retro or vintage, but they’re still highly desirable and can even be a collectible that you can pass on to loved ones.
To easily go through our units, we divided our sideboards into two categories: modern and bespoke.
Modern Sideboards
Our modern collection comes in a wide range of options that mostly have mirror and glass finishes. They also incorporate designer patterns and colours to help create a really stunning centrepiece.
Going for a unique sideboard with a contemporary style can give your room that missing modern interior touch. A great example is our high gloss or marble units that are eye-catching.
You can also opt for a highboard, which is taller than it is wide. It’s about 110 to 130 cm (43 to 51 inches) high. It’s lower than a wall unit or cupboard but is higher than a sidebar or a chest of drawers.
Painted wood sideboards are also popular with their shiny surfaces and smooth lines that will fit in together with your modern furniture pieces. If you want to make it more modern, you can make it as a cocktail and snack bar.
Why not add LED lights to make it more aesthetically pleasing, even in a room with a simple, homey theme and accessories.
Bespoke Made
Here at Sena Home Furniture, we also offer bespoke services from our designer’s list. Bespoke furniture is measured by you, based on the room or space you have and are carefully crafted to perfectly fit the spot you intended for it in your home.
We have a collection of modern living room highboards that can be customized to match the style and decor of your home. You can choose colours from our RAL chart, or incorporate a high gloss lacquer or matt finish, or maybe a wood design.
Our bespoke sideboards are made in hand and are delivered to you with an individual build or company number to identify their uniqueness.
But in general, sideboards are available in many styles. From traditional and rustic, to minimal and sleek, you’re sure to have a statement piece that is show-stopping. Imagine having a solid wood sideboard in your hallway that’s either made of walnut, pine, or oak. Then add this mirror oak with bark to complete the look and make the hallway feel more spacious.
Pair your sideboard with one of our dreamy sofas or coffee table. Feeling risky? Why not mix and match for a boldly designed living room! Want to make dinnertime more special? Shop for a matching table and chairs to further maximize meals and gatherings.
