Sideboards & buffets

What types of sideboards are available?

At IKEA, you'll find sideboards to suit different styles, rooms and storage needs. From a small sideboard for compact spaces to a tall sideboard with extra storage capacity, there's a solution for every home. You can also choose a sideboard cabinet with doors, drawers or open shelving, depending on how you plan to use it.

How do I choose a sideboard for each room?

The room where your sideboard will be placed should guide your choice. A living room sideboard is ideal for storing books, games, textiles and decorative objects while keeping everything organised and within easy reach. In the kitchen or dining area, a kitchen sideboard provides extra storage for dinnerware, glassware, table linen and everyday essentials. An entryway sideboard helps create a welcoming and practical entrance, offering a convenient place for keys, post and other everyday items.

Which materials and finishes should I choose?

The materials and finishes you choose affect both the look and durability of your furniture. A wooden sideboard creates a warm, timeless feel, while a white sideboard brightens the room and blends easily with different interior styles. If you're looking for something with character, a vintage sideboard adds charm and a classic touch to your home.

Can a sideboard be used as a dresser or cabinet for tableware?

Yes. Depending on its storage capacity, a sideboard cabinet can be an excellent alternative to a traditional dresser or cabinet for tableware. With doors, drawers and shelves, it keeps plates, glasses, serving dishes and other dining essentials neatly organised and protected. The top surface also provides extra space for serving food, displaying decorative items or creating a practical serving area when entertaining family and friends.

How do I choose the right size sideboard?

Before choosing, measure your available space and think about what you want to store. A small sideboard is ideal for compact rooms or hallways, while a tall sideboard makes the most of vertical space and offers greater storage capacity. If you have a larger wall available, a bigger sideboard can become a focal point while combining storage, functionality and style.
