Living Room Sideboards

Styling a sideboard is all about balance and creating visual interest. Start by considering the size and style of your sideboard - a minimalist piece benefits from a few carefully chosen objects, while a larger sideboard can handle more. Use a mix of heights and textures. A lamp, a stack of books, or a vase with flowers or branches adds height, while decorative bowls or sculptures provide visual weight. Trays are great for corralling smaller items and creating a cohesive look. Mirrors hung above the sideboard reflect light and create a sense of space. Don't be afraid to incorporate personal touches like framed photos or travel souvenirs. For a modern look, keep the colour palette simple, and for a more eclectic vibe, mix and match colours and materials. Finally, don't overcrowd the surface; leave some empty space to let the eye breathe. Regularly changing up the accessories will help to keep the display feeling fresh.

A good rule of thumb is to choose a mirror that's about two-thirds the width of your sideboard. For example, if your sideboard is 150cm wide, a mirror around 90-100cm wide would look balanced. Ensure there's some space between the mirror and the sideboard, typically around 10-15cm. The mirror shouldn't overpower the sideboard or extend beyond its edges significantly. Consider the height of your ceiling and the overall scale of the room when choosing the mirror's height and shape. A larger mirror can make a small room feel bigger, while a smaller, decorative mirror can add a touch of style without dominating the space.

To keep your sideboard looking its best, dust it regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For spills or stickier marks, wipe the surface clean with a slightly damp cloth and then immediately dry with a separate cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which could damage the finish. For metal legs or bases, use a suitable metal cleaner if needed and dry thoroughly. Stubborn stains may require a specialist cleaner depending on the sideboard's finish - always test any new cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first. Always check the product's page for specific care and cleaning recommendations, as some materials may have special requirements.
