Sideboards: Your Ultimate Guide!

Heya everyone!! So today I’m gunna tell you all about sideboards and why there AMAZING for your house! I did loads of research (well I looked at magazines lol) and now I’m basicly an expert so listen up!!

What Even Are Sideboards and Why Do You Deffo Need One??

Sideboards are these mega useful pieces of furniture that used to just be for dining rooms but now you can put them like anywhere! You can use them in your living room or hallway or even your bedroom if you want! There sooooo good for hiding all your junk but still keeping stuff where you can find it. I’ve got a 3 door one last year and now she dosent shout at us for leaving stuff everywhere cos we just chuck it in there 😂

Other Cool Furniture That Goes With Sideboards

If your getting a sideboard you might wanna look at other stuff too like display cabinets and bookcases and that. My nan has these floating shelves above her sideboard and it looks proper posh! If you get stuff that matches then your whole room will look well fancy, like something off them home makeover shows my mum watches.

Picking The Right Size: Big or Small???

You gotta think about how big your room is innit. If youve got a massive dining room then get a proper big 3 door sideboard that’ll look well impressive. But if your rooms tiny (like my bedroom) then you need a little one or it’ll take up all the space and you’ll be banging your legs on it every 5 seconds which is WELL annoying trust me!!!

Oak Sideboards: Propa Good Quality!!

Oak sideboards are absolutly the best ones cos there made of proper good wood that lasts forever. My grandads got one thats older than me and it still looks mint! You can get them in loads of different styles so it dosent matter if your house is old fashioned or modern. The Cotswold Company makes well nice ones but there expensive so you might have to save up your pocket money for like 100 years lol!

Wooden Sideboards: Not Just For Storing Stuff!

Wooden sideboards aren’t just for shoving all your stuff in (tho there brill for that). There also like a statement piece that makes your room look dead classy. My aunties got this mango wood one and everyone always says how nice it is when they come round. She puts all her fancy ornaments and photos on top and it looks well sophisticated.

Sideboard Cabinets: Dead Useful AND Nice Looking!

Sideboard cabinets are the best cos they’ve got drawers AND cupboards so you can organise all your stuff properly. The drawers are perfect for small things like cutlery or whatever, and the cupboards are great for bigger stuff. My cousin’s got one with loads of drawers and she says it’s “boasting space and cupboard-room aplenty” (she talks weird cos she’s doing English A-level lol).

Small Sideboards: For When Your House Is Tiny

If you live in a poky little house like we do, small sideboards are a lifesaver!!! Our hallway is so narrow my dad always knocks pictures off the wall with his shoulders (he’s not even that big!!), but we got this skinny sideboard and now we’ve got somewhere to put all the post and our keys and stuff. It’s a total gamechanger and stops having a meltdown about the mess.

Grey Sideboards: For When Your Trying To Be All Modern

Grey sideboards are well trendy right now! My sisters obsessed with grey everything (her rooms like 50 shades of boring lol) but I gotta admit her grey sideboard does look quite nice. It goes with like everything and makes her room look dead sophisticated. If your trying to make your house look modern then deffo get a grey one!!

Wooden Sideboard Cabinets with Drawers: OMG So Much Space!!!

These are like the ultimate storage solution! The drawers are sooooo useful for keeping everything tidy. My teacher has one in our classroom for all our art supplies and it’s amazing how much stuff fits in there! All the drawers and cupboards mean theres a place for literally everything. And they come already built which is good cos my dad is useless at flat pack furniture 😂

Delivery and Returns and Boring Stuff Like That

When your buying a sideboard you need to check how their gonna deliver it and what happens if you don’t like it. Most places let you send it back if its rubbish but you might have to pay for delivery. I always waits for the sales before she buys anything big cos you can save loads of money! Have a look online and you’ll find tons of options.

In Conclusion and That

So basically sideboards are propa amazing and everyone should have one! There not just old people furniture anymore – there actually really cool and useful. You can put all your stuff in them and make your house look dead nice at the same time. I’m deffo getting one when I have my own place (if I ever save enough money lol).
