For centuries, sideboards have been essential pieces of furniture in any home. Although they have not always received the prominence they deserve, their function was, after all, as silent as it was essential: to store, organize, and display some of the home's most treasured objects. And it is precisely because of its importance and practicality that today sideboards have transformed into a completely indispensable piece in interior design, capable of completely transforming the atmosphere.

At VP Interiorismo, as experts in interior design and designer furniture, we offer you a wide selection of designer sideboards. From low sideboards in natural wood colors to high sideboards that masterfully mix metal and wood, as well as the essential Nordic-inspired sideboards: finding the piece that best suits your project has never been so simple.

What is a sideboard?

Sideboards are pieces of furniture with doors, drawers, or shelves, which normally stand against the wall of the dining room or living-dining area. Their main function is to store items such as tableware or kitchen utensils, thus keeping the space tidy and clean. Generally, sideboards tend to be low designer pieces, but today the market offers multiple options, and there are also high sideboards which, logically, offer greater storage capacity and versatility.

The sideboard has gone from being just another storage unit to gaining great decorative importance today, becoming the protagonist of the space. The fact that these pieces of furniture occupy a significant part of the wall allows for the creation of a focal point in the living room, bringing character and personality to the environment. Furthermore, the surface of the sideboard is the ideal place to display a wide variety of decorative objects, such as lamps, vases, sculptures, or plants, which are perfect for adding a personal touch to the space.

Sideboards and storage: a perfect and indispensable balance

The charm of a sideboard in the home goes far beyond its functionality. These elegant pieces of furniture are not only essential for maintaining order, but are also perfect for adding a touch of sophistication to any space. Sideboards with drawers are perfect for storing cutlery, table linens, and other utensils, while interior shelves keep tableware organized, protected, and safe from dust, so it looks as good as the first day.

For their part, glass-door sideboards are a perfect display cabinet for showing books, souvenirs, special objects, or personal collections that reflect your style and personality. At VP Interiorismo, we understand very well that a sideboard is not just a piece of furniture, but a main character in the narrative of your home. That is why we offer designs that do not just serve a purely functional purpose, but also represent an artistic and personal expression, creating spaces that tell stories and awaken emotions.

Types of sideboards

Sideboards can come in different shapes and sizes, depending on their purpose and the available space. Below, we will discuss some of the most common types of sideboards based on their shape and size.

Low sideboards usually have a height of less than 80/90 centimeters. They are ideal for small or narrow spaces because, in addition to taking up little room, they leave the wall free for hanging pictures or mirrors. Due to their design, they are sophisticated pieces of furniture with a touch of discretion, easy to combine with any style and environment.

High sideboards generally exceed one meter in height and can even reach up to two meters. They are ideal for large or spacious rooms, as they occupy more space and possess a grand presence. These are imposing and striking pieces of furniture, perfect for giving prominence and personality to the living room.

Sideboards with legs feature a base raised above the floor and are usually the most common. They are ideal for modern and minimalist spaces, as they are elegant and sophisticated and can easily combine with any style and atmosphere.

In our designer sideboard catalogue, we offer a variety of materials, colors, and finishes, making it as simple as possible to find the one that best fits your project.

Sideboard styles according to design and material

Today, there are sideboards with different designs and materials that adapt to the style you want to create in your living room. Modern design sideboards are characterized by their geometric shapes and straight lines, allowing for the creation of truly harmonious contemporary and avant-garde spaces. Classic design sideboards stand out for their curved shapes, soft lines, and warm colors. They are the right choice for traditional spaces thanks to the warmth provided by the materials from which they are made, such as wood or marble.

Industrial design sideboards feature simple shapes and understated lines, making them ideal for urban and casual spaces, while Nordic design sideboards, characterized by simple shapes, clean lines, and neutral colors, are the perfect complement for bright and minimalist spaces.

How to choose the ideal designer sideboard?

After reviewing the different types and styles of designer sideboards, we would like to share some tips for choosing the one that best suits each interior design project. To make the right choice, several factors must be taken into account.

One of these factors is the available space in relation to the size of the sideboard. It is essential to accurately measure the spot where it will be placed, ensuring it fits perfectly—neither too large nor excessively small. Additionally, it is important to consider the space around the sideboard, guaranteeing comfort when opening doors and drawers and allowing easy movement around it.

It is equally vital to harmonize the style of the sideboard with that of the room, granting personality to the decor. There are two approaches: choosing a sideboard that complements and merges with the rest of the furniture, or selecting a designer sideboard that contrasts with the existing decoration, thereby creating a bold and distinctive focal point that adds character and uniqueness to the space.

On the other hand, it is essential to consider both the aesthetic and functional aspects of the sideboard. Depending on the purpose and the objects intended for storage, it will be convenient to opt for a piece of furniture with an adequate number of doors, drawers, or shelves. Furthermore, attention to materials and finishes is primordial, as these aspects relate directly to the quality and durability of the sideboard. A good designer sideboard represents a lasting investment, capable of resisting the passage of time and daily use.
