Wood Sideboards

Styling a sideboard is all about balance and creating visual interest. Start by considering the size and style of your sideboard. For a modern look, opt for a few carefully chosen statement pieces like a large vase, a sculptural object, or a stack of books. Group items in odd numbers, varying heights and textures for a dynamic display. A tray can anchor smaller items and add a touch of elegance. For a more traditional feel, incorporate framed photos, candlesticks, and decorative bowls. Don't overcrowd the surface; leave some breathing room between objects. A trailing plant can soften the look and add a touch of life. Finally, consider the colours and finishes of your accessories, ensuring they complement the sideboard and the overall room decor. If your sideboard has a marbled ceramic finish, remember it's heat resistant, so you can safely place warm items directly on the surface. For more information visit our blog post.

A good rule of thumb is to choose a mirror that's narrower than your sideboard, ideally leaving some space on either side. Aim for the mirror's width to be around two-thirds to three-quarters of the sideboard's length. For height, consider the ceiling height and any artwork nearby. A larger mirror can make a small room feel bigger, while a smaller, decorative mirror can add a touch of style without overwhelming the space. Ensure the mirror's style complements your sideboard and overall decor. For example, a sleek, minimalist mirror works well with a modern sideboard, while an ornate frame suits a more traditional setting.

To keep your wood sideboard looking its best, dust it regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For more thorough cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth and a mild detergent, then dry immediately. Avoid placing hot items directly on the surface, and use coasters and placemats to prevent scratches and watermarks. Always check the product's page for specific care and cleaning recommendations, as some materials may have special requirements.

Our sideboards come in various wood finishes, including light and dark ash, black oak, and mango wood. Some also incorporate other materials like marbled ceramic for a contemporary look. You can find sideboards featuring sleek white oak paired with marbled ceramic, or opt for the warmth of dark mango wood. Many designs combine wood with metal or brass accents for added style and durability.
