Sideboards & Buffets

When selecting a sideboard cabinet, it is important to consider the available space and overall decor theme. There are several material options to choose from when selecting a sideboard. These options include oak, rattan, hardwood, timber or metal. A black sideboard can provide the same storage while giving the room a darker visual anchor.

Selecting the appropriate dimensions is also crucial, especially in areas where space is limited. Small sideboard cabinets are generally the best option, providing ample room for movement without creating a cramped environment. In some cases where the room's configuration is different or space is limited, bespoke and customisable options may be available to suit specific needs. Large sideboards to enhance a dining area.  Narrow sideboards and buffets are suited to hallways and dining areas where circulation space is limited.

A buffet cabinet offers additional storage for dinnerware while providing further opportunity to complement or off-set the dining set. Some buffet tables come with hutches or cabinets built-in, although for easy access to those larger serving dishes, consider units with sliding cupboards. Smaller drawers are the perfect place to store cutlery, tablemats and serviettes. When not in use, a sideboard is a perfect place to show off design objects or artefacts. A black buffet cabinet can keep dinnerware concealed while creating a defined surface for serving or display.

The addition of a buffet table will declutter the dining table while keeping food, beverages and utensils close by while entertaining. With a range of finishing options, including wood and white gloss, whether it’s a sleek glass-topped table or a rustic look to match the farmhouse dining suite, a carefully selected buffet table will provide both practical storage and decorative appeal. Contemporary sideboards and buffets often use clean-lined forms and restrained finishes to sit comfortably with modern dining furniture.
