Large Sideboards

Styling a large sideboard effectively involves creating a balanced and visually appealing display. Start by considering the sideboard's size and the surrounding space. A mix of heights, textures, and colours adds depth and interest. For example, combine tall vases or lamps with smaller decorative objects, books, and framed prints. Trays or decorative bowls can group items and anchor the display. Mirrors placed above the sideboard can enhance the sense of space and reflect light. Don't overcrowd the surface; leave some areas empty to avoid a cluttered look. Fresh flowers or greenery add a natural touch, while strategically placed lighting, like a table lamp, can create a warm and inviting ambience. Consider the overall style of your room and choose accessories that complement it, creating a cohesive look. Finally, don't be afraid to experiment and rearrange items until you achieve a look you love. For more information visit our blog post.

A mirror hung above a sideboard can create a beautiful focal point. Ideally, the mirror should be narrower than the sideboard itself, leaving some space on either side. A good rule of thumb is for the mirror to be around two-thirds to three-quarters of the sideboard's width. For example, if your sideboard is 150cm wide, a mirror between 100cm and 112cm wide would be ideal. Consider the height of the mirror too - a larger mirror can make a small room feel bigger, while a smaller, more decorative mirror might suit a larger space. Don't hang the mirror too high - ensure there's a comfortable visual connection between the mirror and the sideboard below.

To keep your large sideboard looking its best, regular dusting with a soft, dry cloth is essential. For more thorough cleaning, wipe down surfaces with a slightly damp cloth and a mild detergent, then dry immediately to prevent watermarks. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the finish. Our ceramic or marbled ceramic finishes are heat, scratch, and chip resistant, offering excellent durability. For wood finishes, use a wood-friendly cleaner and avoid placing hot items directly on the surface. Metal legs or bases can be cleaned with a damp cloth and dried thoroughly. Always check the product's page for specific care and cleaning recommendations, as some materials may have special requirements.

Our large sideboards showcase diverse styles and designs to complement various interiors. Modern aesthetics are achieved through sleek lines, handleless fronts, and mixed materials such as black ash with marbled ceramic or brass accents. Some designs offer a blend of materials, combining wood finishes with ceramic or metallic details for a contemporary feel. Many of our sideboards feature spacious compartments concealed behind doors, often paired with drawers for versatile storage. You can explore different colour options, from classic black to natural wood tones, to match your existing decor. Consider the leg or base style too, as this contributes to the overall aesthetic, with options ranging from minimalist metal legs to a solid plinth base.
