Sideboards & Buffets, The Dining Room Storage Solution
A sideboard is the unsung hero of the dining room. Dish sets, silverware, linens, all stored here. A good sideboard needs Blum or Hettich soft-close hinges and full-extension drawer runners. We make that standard, no extra charge.
The behind-sofa sideboard has become a popular solution in recent years. When the living room and dining area share an open plan, a slim, long piece set behind the sofa divides the two zones while adding storage. Standard width runs 160 to 220 cm, depth 35 to 45 cm. The top comes in marble or wood, the interior in drawers or doors. It works as a decorative surface too, an ideal platform for a vase, a framed piece, or a table lamp.
A dining room buffet is wider, built with storage as the priority. We produce many types, from classic four-door models to versions combined with a twin-column display cabinet. On marble-top versions the upper surface doubles as a serving station, for coffee service or a guest breakfast.
Material choices run wide: solid walnut, oak, ebony veneer, smoked-mirror doors, square-textured velvet panels (louvred cut), brass handles and legs, PVD gold detailing. Every sideboard is built to the exact dimensions of your space, to 1 mm precision.
Frequently asked questions
What does a behind-sofa sideboard do?
A behind-sofa sideboard visually separates the living and dining zones in an open-plan home. It also provides storage, for books, magazines, remotes and chargers, and a decorative surface for a vase, artwork or table lamp. Standard width is 160 to 220 cm, depth 35 to 45 cm, kept slim enough to sit neatly behind your sofa.
What is the difference between a sideboard and a buffet?
A sideboard is typically more elegant, decorative and shallower, around 40 cm deep. A buffet runs deeper, 50 to 60 cm, and offers wider storage. Both serve the dining room, your choice depends on how much storage you need.
What are soft-close hinges and why do they matter?
Soft-close hinges slow the door in its last few centimeters for a silent close. Blum and Hettich guarantee 200,000+ open-close cycles. They prevent noise, extend furniture lifespan, and stop small fingers from getting pinched.
How do you care for a marble sideboard?
For marble-top sideboards, apply a professional impregnation sealer once a year. For daily cleaning, use a pH-neutral detergent with a microfiber cloth. Keep acidic liquids off the surface, and if they do touch it, wipe them away at once.
Do you make custom-size sideboards?
Yes, every sideboard is made to order. We work within a range of 140 to 280 cm width, 35 to 60 cm depth, and 75 to 90 cm height to fit your space. Production takes 4 to about six weeks for a custom design.
