Oak Sideboards | Large and Small | Oak Furniture Land

Sideboards are as effective in creating extra space, as they are a useful storage facility to have in the home. A sideboard can also act as a make shift coffee table or an extra surface to display vases or ornaments when required.

Sideboards are most commonly used in dining rooms, living rooms or hallways, but they also make a useful addition to your bedroom or in a bathroom, where they can store towels or bathroom products.

Oak Sideboards are one of the most popular pieces of furniture at Oak Furniture Land and there are countless reasons why they are so highly thought of in our homes. We've got everything covered, from old charm to sleek and contemporary. Starting with how they stylishly add storage to a room, cleverly concealing our worldly belongings without too much impact to the floor space of the room. A sideboard can simply blend into a room design or become the main piece of large furniture within a complete furniture set.

It is important to get the proportion in size of the sideboard right to the size of the room. A large sideboard can easily overwhelm a small room whereas a smaller one can look lost or out of place in a space that is too big. The sideboard height is important to consider against other aspects of the room such sofas, window sills and other decor. Depth or sideboard width is important to consider especially in a small room or a narrow hall way. A smaller sideboard can make less impact to the footprint of a room or corridor.

The main object of any sideboard is to create storage so it is worth thinking about its potential use and where the large cabinet will be living. A bedroom sideboard may require more drawer storage for clothing whereas a kitchen sideboard may require more cupboards for plates. In the living room often a more flexible or assorted storage is required so a sideboard with door and drawers maybe better.

Oak Furniture Land has a host of modern and contemporary sideboards that will look great in the most stylish of homes. Alongside a great selection of traditional sideboard designs each piece has a matching Welsh dresser, perfect for the dining room. In this room, a sideboard can be used for the storage of your crockery, cutlery, glasses, table cloths and napkins. With matching dining tables and other dining room furniture any of our sideboards can look truly great.

A sideboard is essentially an amalgamation of a cupboard or chest of drawers with the main difference being that a sideboard is usually bigger than a two door cupboard. Although a sideboard will get referred to as a cupboard, they normally incorporate more cabinet doors, drawers and shelving inside.

Solid hardwood is the best choice when it comes to buying sideboards as it will provide the strength to hold all your possessions without bowing, whilst being stunningly attractive - a combination that can’t be equalled by any other material.
