Sideboards, buffets & console tables

Looking for a hall table to welcome you home (and take your mail) or a place to put your drink by the sofa? Our occasional tables come in modern and traditional styles with various finishes. They all have room to show off what you want on top, but some have doors and drawers for hiding things, too.

A timeless look for your dining room

Rooted in IKEA’s heritage and our commitment to high-quality furniture at an affordable price, the STOCKHOLM 2025 collection features a curated selection of beautifully coordinated items, each of which can also stand alone as a statement piece.

Activity hub, coordination piece, decoration surface – or all of the above?

Let’s take a moment to appreciate an unsung hero of home interiors – the sideboard. Not quite a bookcase, nor a table, yet not seldom doing both those jobs. Like SPIKSMED and SKRUVBY sideboards, both easy to coordinate, style and like. Also, they have series siblings that let you build, adapt and expand to your needs.

Hall table harmony: elevate your entryway with style and function

Transform your entryway into a welcoming space that speaks volumes about your style and organisational skills with the perfect hall table. A thoughtfully selected piece can set the tone for your entire home. 

What makes a hall table an essential piece for your home?

Hall tables, often the first piece of furniture to greet you and your guests, offer both aesthetic appeal and practicality. They are not just a surface to drop your keys; they're a statement of your home's character. With a variety of designs, from minimalist to ornate, these tables can complement your décor while providing a convenient spot to showcase decorative items or keep essentials at hand. When choosing a hall table, consider the space available and how it will blend with your home's existing aesthetic. Look for tables that offer drawers or shelves for additional storage, making them as functional as they are stylish. 

How can hallway tables and sideboards enhance your living space?

Occasional tables and sideboards are versatile pieces that can elevate any room. While hall tables are typically narrower to fit snugly against a wall in your entryway, occasional tables can be placed beside a sofa or armchair, serving as a handy spot for a lamp or your favourite book. Sideboards, on the other hand, offer ample storage and a broad surface area, making them ideal for dining rooms or living spaces. They can act as a hub for entertainment, a display for cherished memories, or a place to lay out a buffet for guests. When selecting these pieces, think about the balance between form and function. A well-chosen sideboard or occasional table can seamlessly integrate into your space, providing both utility and a touch of elegance. 

What should you consider when integrating these pieces into your home?

Integrating hall tables, occasional tables, or sideboards into your home requires a thoughtful approach to maintain balance and flow. Consider the scale of the furniture in relation to the room size and existing pieces. A hall table should not overwhelm the space but instead serve as a complementary addition that enhances the area's functionality. For occasional tables, ensure they are of appropriate height relative to your seating, providing ease of use. Sideboards should be proportional to the dining table or the room's anchor furniture, offering cohesion and visual harmony. Think about the materials and colours that will best reflect your personal style while providing the durability and functionality you need.

Incorporating these pieces into your home decor is not just about adding furniture; it's about creating a cohesive and inviting atmosphere. Whether it's a hall table that welcomes you home, an occasional table that adds convenience to your living space, or a sideboard that brings sophistication to your gatherings, each piece plays a crucial role in the symphony of your home's design. Choose wisely, and let your furniture tell the story of your home's warmth and character.
