Oak Sideboards

Styling an oak sideboard depends on the specific look you want to achieve. For a modern, minimalist feel, keep accessories to a minimum, opting for a few carefully chosen pieces like a statement vase or a sculptural object. A tray can help corral smaller items and create a sense of order. To add warmth and personality, incorporate natural elements like plants, books, or framed prints. If your sideboard has open shelving, consider baskets or boxes to store items while maintaining a tidy appearance. Balance is key - distribute items evenly across the surface, varying heights and textures to create visual interest. Don't be afraid to play with colour, but try to maintain a cohesive palette that complements the oak and your existing decor. For a brighter look, add a lamp to draw the eye and create a focal point.

A good rule of thumb is to choose a mirror that's slightly narrower than your sideboard. Ideally, it should be between two-thirds and three-quarters of the sideboard's width, leaving some space on either side. For example, if your sideboard is 150cm wide, a mirror between 100cm and 112cm wide would be suitable. Consider the height of your ceiling too - a larger mirror can make a room feel more spacious, while a smaller, ornately framed mirror might be better suited to a lower ceiling. Ensure the mirror doesn't overpower the sideboard or the room; balance is key. And don't hang it too high - the centre of the mirror should be at eye level for most people.

To keep your oak sideboard looking its best, dust it regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For more thorough cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth with a mild detergent, then dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the oak finish. Protect the surface from spills and heat by using coasters and placemats. For marbled ceramic surfaces, wipe up spills promptly and clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid placing hot items directly on the ceramic. Always check the product's page for specific care and cleaning recommendations, as some materials may have special requirements.

Our oak sideboards showcase various contemporary styles, often incorporating mixed materials for a modern look. You'll find designs that pair the warmth of oak with sleek marbled ceramic or other durable, easy-to-clean finishes. Many feature minimalist silhouettes and clean lines, while others may incorporate subtle detailing like brass accents or textured wood grain. The oak often comes in a variety of finishes, from natural light oak to richer, darker tones, offering versatility for various interior palettes. Leg styles also vary, ranging from barely-there designs for a floating look to bolder metal or wood options. Sizes typically include smaller options ideal for compact spaces and larger designs suitable for spacious dining or living areas.
