Sideboards NZ

A sideboard (also called a buffet or sideboard cabinet) is one of the most useful pieces you can add to a dining or living room — it gives you closed storage for crockery, linen, or media gear, plus a flat surface for serving or display. Our sideboards NZ collection ranges from compact 1M cabinets to 1.8M statement pieces, in solid wood, MDF, and mixed-material finishes.

Choosing the Right Sideboard Size

• Compact (1M–1.15M): suits apartments, hallways, or smaller dining rooms
• Mid-size (1.5M–1.6M): the most common size for standard dining or living rooms
• Large (1.8M): works best as a dining room or living room feature piece with more storage

Whatever size you choose, leave enough clearance in front for doors to open fully and drawers to slide out — as a guide, allow at least 60cm of open floor space in front of the sideboard.

Doors, Drawers, and Storage Layouts

• 2-door or 4-door cabinets suit larger items like serving platters, table linen, or bulkier crockery
• 2-drawer or 4-drawer layouts are better for cutlery, smaller items, or anything you want to access quickly
• Some sideboards combine both doors and drawers in one unit, giving you flexible storage for different item sizes

Choosing a Sideboard Material

• Solid wood (elmwood, walnut): durable and long-lasting, with a natural grain that adds warmth to a room
• MDF or particleboard with wood-look or painted finishes: a lighter, more budget-friendly option that still holds up to daily use
• Metal accents or legs: add a modern edge and extra structural support

Where to Use a Sideboard

• Dining room: as a buffet for serving dishes, table linen, or glassware storage
• Living room: as a media unit or display surface for décor and photo frames
• Hallway or kitchen: as extra closed storage where cupboard space is limited
