What Does Your Sideboard Say About You?

Typically, sideboards were an additional storage feature only ever found in dining rooms, but nowadays it’s not uncommon for them to be spotted elsewhere. In fact, they can hold their own in almost every room in the home. They will usually have drawers or cabinets or both and can lend themselves to a variety of tasks. Whether you position yours next to the dining table, sofa, or bed, what you choose to put in and on yours says a lot about you and your family dynamic. Below, EZ Living Furniture will delve into your habits and personality in this fun and easy-to-follow blog.

Classic Sideboards In Dining Rooms

If you have your sideboard in your dining room, you will most likely keep dining-related items like glassware, cutlery, fine China, candles, napkins, and tablecloths in yours. You treat the top surface like a shelf and presumably display food platters for hosting and get-togethers. Your family is very typical and predictable. You only use items of furniture for their primary purpose and your organised family always plays by the rules. Some might call you “the perfect family” but little do they know the chaos that lies inside your humble abode. You tend to stick to classic-style furniture like our Country Cottage range and love closed cabinets. You also value hidden storage because it can hide a multitude of sins and bits and bobs.

Contemporary Sideboards In Dining Rooms

Again, a sideboard in a dining room will typically house cutlery, placemats, and glassware, but your family differs from the family detailed above. You have chosen to purchase the Malta sideboard because quite simply, style is important to you and your family. You worry about how your family is perceived by the outside world and always make sure that everyone in the family is presentable. The same can be said for furniture. Your family likes to invest in in-the-moment furniture but also wants it to be functional and durable. Basically, you like to have your cake and eat it too. You don’t like to compromise, especially when you know that you can have it all for the same price and frankly, we don’t blame you.

Scandi-Sideboards In Living Rooms

You are not a typical family. You are a young, passionate family who likes to bring elements of the outdoors into your home. You are a plant parent ten times over and often rise against convention. Your family likes to “go with the flow” and doesn’t stress too much about furniture until it becomes a necessity. When choosing a sideboard, you look at its many functions and then choose an appropriate room for it and then weigh it up against your current requirements. You are not against using a sideboard as a TV stand one minute and a hall table the next. You prefer light, Scandi-style furniture because it keeps a room looking airy and minimalistic. You don’t place too much emphasis on material objects and wouldn’t like any guests to either. The Barrali Sideboard perfectly represents you and your family because its rattan sliding doors are characteristic of garden furniture.

Ultra-Modern Sideboards In Living Rooms

If the Carmel Sideboard is a favourite of yours, we can definitely relate. This ultra-modern sideboard can tell a lot about a person and an entire family. We expect that there is at least one member of the family that spends hours poring over the latest home decor magazines and equally as long putting the interior look into practice. You don’t purchase anything unless you have researched it to within an inch of its life, but ultimately cutting-edge furniture is what you aspire to introduce in every free space in your home. Cost isn’t important to you as long as you, your home, and your family look the best. The glass-panelled doors on this sideboard are an opportunity for you to show off to all your visitors. You are also confident in your ability to style a sideboard to an interior designer standard, with the help of a few online experts and magazine professionals.

Sideboards Behind The Sofa

Did you know that a sideboard can also be used as a room divider? It’s true and only you and your family would have discovered this. Your family is extremely creative while still prioritising a contemporary style throughout the home. Open plan isn’t just a want for you, it’s a need because you don’t like being restricted and confined to one area. This go-getter family will get far in life and their professional careers. The Latina Sideboard sits perfectly behind the Reflect Sofa and perfectly encompasses this family’s dynamic.

Sideboards In The Bedroom

You are smart. You have chosen the Made Sideboard for your bedroom because it is multi-functional, will blend with a variety of colour schemes and will see you through your college years and further. It can also be used as a makeshift dressing table. The Made’s drawers are the perfect place to store your cosmetics that you might need to grab at a moment’s notice while the door section can be used to keep tall and oversized belongings. Think hairsprays, deodorants, and beauty electronics such as hairdryers, straighteners, and curlers. On top, you could put a mirror to check your makeup before leaving. 

Your destiny looks bright and no matter what the future brings the only thing that’s certain is that you will have your trusty sideboard with you when you undoubtedly move from place to place.

EZ TIP: A sideboard in a bedroom can also be used for handbags, books, and even clothing.

Sideboards have so many uses and as we have demonstrated, can accurately dictate family dynamics. Whether you are in search of a sideboard for a dining room, living room, or even entryway, know that we have the perfect one for you and your family.
