I love… sideboards

So over the last year I have developed an unhealthy obsession for sideboards. If you’re around my age (late 70’s baby) there was probably one in your parents house, last seen in the background of an old photograph – but much to my pleasure they’ve made a serious comeback. For your hallway, your living or dining room there’s space in your life for one of these beauties. I think the basis of my love comes from the fact that I have stuff, lots of stuff, but I strive and campaign for a clutter free life (as seen here), so a sideboard allows me to keep all my ‘stuff’ without it being on display. I get to cheat!

Whatever your style taste I assure you, if you want one, there’s a sideboard out there for you. If, like me you’re a fan of 50’s type furniture, generally referred to as ‘mid-century modern’, then check out this beauty. Chunky units and legs, simple lines and handles, they’re built to last and with the right accessories can fit into most schemes.

Most people opt for functional storage and if it looks good that’s a bonus. This sideboard is an example of both, fit for purpose and good looking in a simple way. Throw a mirror into the mix and you’ve added another dimension to a great piece of furniture.

If you’re a fan of all things really modern with a retro twist then you too can have some sideboard fun with a new take on the old classic – as long as you can work out how to open it…

And if you’re someone who looks to do things just a little bit different then fear not you can get in on the action too. This reproduction sideboard would sit perfectly in a themed scheme – think Oriental, Global traveller or just because you love it!
