Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about Sideboards
What specialised features do your sideboards offer beyond basic storage?
Our sideboards collection includes impressive specialised features designed for modern living. Many pieces feature built-in wine storage with bottle racks for 6, 9, or even 12 bottles, complete with glass holders for stemware - perfect for entertaining. Some models include adjustable shelving systems that adapt to your changing storage needs, whilst others feature multi-tier configurations for organised storage. We also offer unique pieces like sideboards with reading seats and cushioned tops for children, industrial-style units with steel frames, and even vintage-inspired aviator designs with aircraft aluminium detailing.
How do different wood types and materials affect the character of sideboards?
Each material brings distinct personality to your space. Solid mango wood offers rich, warm tones with beautiful natural grain that develops character over time, making each piece unique. Acacia wood provides exceptional durability with striking grain patterns, perfect for high-use areas. Reclaimed wood pieces tell stories through their weathered appearance and sustainable credentials. For contemporary settings, engineered wood in high-gloss finishes creates sleek, modern aesthetics, whilst mixed materials like mango wood paired with natural cane or steel doors add textural interest and industrial flair to your décor.
Which sideboard styles work best for entertaining and hosting guests?
For serious entertainers, consider our sideboards with integrated wine storage and glass holders - they keep your favourite vintages organised whilst providing surface space for serving. Larger models (150-160cm wide) offer generous buffet space for dinner parties, with concealed storage for table linens and serving pieces. Glass-door models beautifully display fine china and glassware whilst protecting them from dust. Units with grid glass doors add sophisticated detail, whilst natural wood finishes create warm, welcoming atmospheres that encourage lingering conversations over meals.
What are the benefits of choosing engineered wood versus solid wood sideboards?
Engineered wood sideboards offer excellent value and consistency, with finishes like high-gloss white, concrete grey, or brown oak that maintain their appearance without seasonal movement. They're lighter weight, making positioning easier, and often feature smooth, contemporary finishes perfect for modern homes. Solid wood sideboards, whilst requiring more investment, offer unmatched character and longevity - they age beautifully, can be refinished if needed, and provide that authentic, premium feel that only real wood delivers. Consider your budget, style preferences, and long-term plans when deciding.
How can sideboards solve specific storage challenges in different rooms?
In dining rooms, tall pantry-style sideboards (up to 180cm high) maximise vertical storage for serving pieces, whilst shallow units (30cm deep) work brilliantly in narrow spaces. Kitchen sideboards with multiple drawers organise cutlery and linens, whilst wine storage models keep beverages properly stored. For hallways, consider lower profile units that provide surface space without blocking sightlines. In living areas, media-focused sideboards with cable management hide technology clutter, whilst units with both open and closed storage balance display with concealment.
What's the advantage of choosing sideboards with mixed materials or unique design elements?
Mixed-material sideboards create striking focal points that anchor room designs. Steel and wood combinations bring industrial sophistication, perfect for loft-style or contemporary homes. Natural cane paired with solid wood adds organic texture and coastal vibes. Recycled teak with steel frames tells an environmental story whilst providing robust construction. These unique pieces often become conversation starters and allow you to express personality through furniture choices, moving beyond traditional designs to create truly individual spaces.
How do I determine the optimal height and depth for my sideboard?
Sideboard height significantly impacts both function and aesthetics. Standard heights (70-80cm) work perfectly as serving surfaces and align well with dining table heights. Lower units (50-65cm) suit modern, minimalist aesthetics and work well under windows or wall-mounted artwork. Taller pieces (90cm+) provide maximum storage but require adequate ceiling height to avoid overwhelming spaces. Depth considerations are equally important - 30cm depths suit narrow areas, 35-40cm provides optimal storage-to-footprint ratio, whilst deeper units accommodate larger items but need more floor space.
What should I consider when investing in premium versus budget-friendly sideboards?
Premium sideboards, such as our solid wood or unique aviator-style pieces, offer exceptional longevity, distinctive character, and often become heirloom furniture that improves with age. They typically feature superior construction, unique grain patterns, and substantial weight that conveys quality. Budget-friendly engineered wood options provide excellent immediate value with consistent finishes and lighter weight for easy repositioning. Consider your long-term plans - if you're likely to move or redecorate frequently, engineered options offer flexibility, whilst solid wood investments reward those planning to keep pieces for decades.
