Question 1

What is the difference between a sideboard and a TV console?

Accepted Answer

While sideboards and TV consoles share some similarities, they serve different purposes and differ in design. TV consoles are typically shorter and wider, designed to support your television and related electronics. They often have open shelves for media equipment. On the other hand, sideboards are taller and narrower, offering more storage compartments. They are ideal for storing tableware, linens, and other items, making them a better fit for dining rooms or living areas where extra storage is needed.

Question 2

What is the difference between a sideboard, buffet, and credenza?

Accepted Answer

A sideboard, buffet, and credenza are all types of storage furniture, but they have subtle differences:

Sideboard: Usually placed in the dining room, sideboard cabinets are taller with short legs and ample storage for dining essentials.
Buffet: Similar to sideboards but often larger and more substantial, buffet cabinets are also used in dining areas for storage and serving food.
Credenza: Typically used in offices or living rooms, credenza cabinets are lower and often feature sliding doors or open shelving, making them perfect for displaying items or storing electronics.

Question 3

What is a sideboard or cabinet used for?

Accepted Answer

More often than not, a sideboard can be used to store glasses and alternate tableware. However, it is up to your discretion to store anything you want. The perk of placing a sideboard in your living room is that you can retrieve items easily compared to the storeroom. A sideboard cabinet also has a beautiful surface to display pottery or small sculptures.

Question 4

How to pick a sideboard or cabinet?

Accepted Answer

When choosing a sideboard or cabinet, consider its purpose and location in your home. For living rooms, opt for sideboards with shorter legs for a cohesive look. In dining rooms, taller cabinets provide better accessibility and storage space. Ensure the sideboard complements your existing decor without overwhelming the space.

Question 5

Which colour should I pick for my sideboard or cabinet?

Accepted Answer

Selecting the right colour for your sideboard or cabinet depends on your overall decor. For dining rooms, match the wood or colour of the sideboard with your dining table. Alternatively, you can choose contrasting colours for a bold statement, ensuring the interior colours complement your home's palette.
