7 of the best sideboards
Something that wouldn’t look out of place in Dot Cotton’s front room, sideboards have had a 21st century revival and are now being seen as more than just a storage solution. These days, sideboards are available in all sorts of different styles and finishes to complement any room.

What do people use sideboards for?
A furniture staple that reportedly started to pop up in the UK from the 1770s, sideboards were traditionally used in dining rooms to serve food and display dishes, as well as for storage purposes.
Fast forward to the current day, and modern sideboards have become much more than just functional pieces; they’re a stylish addition to any home.
There are no rules to using them either. In fact, people put them to good use in all sorts of ways.
For instance, for:
● Displaying photos, ornaments and plants
● Office, bedroom and toy storage
● Room dividers
● TV/console units
● Dressing tables
● And even, mini bars!
Can you use a sideboard as a dresser?
Absolutely.
In fact, dressers and sideboards are pretty much the same thing, only sideboards tend to have smaller proportions, making them more suited to smaller spaces.
Using a sideboard as a dresser means you will lose the storage at the top, but then you can always potentially gain storage by choosing a drawer with lots of cupboards and drawers.
Can you use a sideboard in the kitchen?
Yes, you can.
Back in the early days of sideboards, they were a common feature in most dining rooms and kitchens. Having a kitchen sideboard isn’t a new phenomenon, especially given the fact they are essentially dressers without the top section.
