Storage Sideboards

Styling a sideboard can transform your living space. Create a focal point by arranging decorative items like vases, sculptures, or books in varying heights and textures. A large statement piece can anchor the display, while smaller objects add visual interest. Incorporate greenery with plants or fresh flowers for a touch of life. Trays or decorative bowls can corral smaller items and add a touch of sophistication. For a balanced look, consider symmetry or asymmetry, depending on your style. If your sideboard has open shelves, use baskets or boxes to store items while keeping the look organised. Don't overcrowd the surface; leave some breathing room to avoid a cluttered feel. Finally, coordinate the colours and materials of your accessories with the sideboard and the surrounding decor for a cohesive look. A well-styled sideboard not only adds personality to your space but also provides practical storage. For more information visit our blog post.

A mirror hung above a sideboard can create a stunning focal point. Ideally, the mirror should be narrower than your sideboard, leaving some space on either side. A good rule of thumb is to aim for the mirror's width to be around two-thirds to three-quarters of the sideboard's length. For example, if your sideboard is 180cm wide, a mirror between 120cm and 135cm wide would likely look well-proportioned. Consider the mirror's shape and style too - a round or arched mirror can soften the look of a rectangular sideboard, while a rectangular mirror complements a more linear, modern aesthetic. Ensure the mirror is hung securely and at a height that's comfortable for viewing.

To keep your storage sideboard looking its best, regular dusting with a soft, dry cloth is essential. For surface cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth and mild detergent, then dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the finish. Protect the surface from heat and moisture - use coasters and placemats to prevent marks and rings. For wooden sideboards, avoid placing them in direct sunlight, which can cause fading or discolouration. Metal legs or bases can be cleaned with a damp cloth and dried thoroughly to prevent rust or watermarks. Always check the product's page for specific care and cleaning recommendations, as some materials may have special requirements.
