Desks & Sideboards

Styling a sideboard is all about balance and creating visual interest. Start by considering the size and style of your sideboard and the overall aesthetic of the room. Use a mix of heights and textures with decorative objects like vases, sculptures, and plants. Trays can help group smaller items and add a touch of elegance. A lamp adds warmth and functionality, while artwork or a mirror hung above can create a focal point. Books, either stacked horizontally or vertically, add personality and colour. Don't overcrowd the surface; leave some negative space for a cleaner look. If your sideboard has open shelving, consider using baskets or decorative boxes for concealed storage and to add textural contrast. Consider the colour palette of your room and choose accessories in complementary colours to create a harmonious look. Finally, don't be afraid to experiment and find what works best for your space.

A mirror hung above a sideboard can visually enlarge a room and add a stylish touch. Ideally, the mirror should be narrower than the sideboard itself, leaving some space on either side. A good rule of thumb is to choose a mirror that's between two-thirds and three-quarters of the sideboard's width. For example, if your sideboard is 150cm wide, a mirror between 100cm and 112cm wide would be suitable. Consider the height of the mirror and the ceiling height as well - a larger mirror can make a low ceiling feel higher. Don't be afraid to experiment with shapes and styles, but ensure there's enough space between the mirror and sideboard - around 15-20cm is usually sufficient.

Maintaining your sideboard's pristine condition is easy with regular care. Dust frequently using a soft, dry cloth, working in the direction of the wood grain if applicable. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the finish. For spills, wipe immediately with a slightly damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Avoid placing hot items directly on the surface, especially if it has a ceramic or marbled ceramic finish, although these are heat resistant they may be affected by extreme temperatures. Protect your sideboard from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to prevent fading or discolouration. For metal legs or bases, wipe with a damp cloth and dry immediately to prevent watermarks. Always check the product's page for specific care and cleaning recommendations, as some materials may have special requirements.
