Everything you ever wanted to know about sideboard buffets is here.
When selecting a sideboard buffet table for your dining area, consider both its size and placement relative to your dining table. Ideally, a dining room sideboard cabinet should be approximately 60 inches in length, which pairs well with dining tables of equal or greater length to ensure the sideboard buffet cabinet complements rather than dominates the space. It's also important to maintain at least 24 inches of clearance around the sideboard to allow for comfortable movement around the room. The optimal height for a credenza is between 34-36 inches, making it convenient for serving food and using the top surface for display or additional storage.
While the words 'sideboard' and 'buffet' are used interchangeably, they serve different purposes. Traditionally, a buffet would be designed for dining rooms with a solid structure to fit food service, complete with storage underneath. A sideboard is often times more versatile to fit all parts of the home. Both provide storage solutions that can be customized: from adjustable shelves to drawers that enable further organization.
The average height of a sideboard buffet table is 28 to 30 inches, and most people prefer their sideboard to be slightly taller. Standard sideboards typically sit between 34 and 38 inches, which is the ideal height for comfortably serving food and accessing dinnerware. This height ensures the sideboard buffet table is well-proportioned in relation to the dining table, making it both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
Sideboards in kitchens are typically between 40-80 inches long and 20-24 inches deep. Modern sideboard cabinets may be larger, ranging from 80-100 inches long and 20-24 inches deep. The height of a sideboard buffet can vary depending on its purpose, typically ranging from 34-40 inches tall.
Sure, you can put a buffet cabinet in a hallway if it fits the space and leaves a comfortable amount of room to walk through. Measure the width of your hallway and compare it to the size of the sideboard. You can stack cardboard boxes to mimic the sideboard's dimensions and place them in the hallway to see if it works well in the space. Mark the floor with masking tape to indicate the sideboard's footprint, considering both its depth and width, and stack the boxes to its height to ensure it fits properly.
A sideboard buffet cabinet can also be placed at the end of a hallway and used as a foundation for a decorative vignette. A bow front sideboard is an ideal style for a hallway since its sides slope inward, providing more space to move around. This method helps ensure that the sideboard will work well in the intended space.
To decorate a sideboard in a dining room, consider hanging art above it, flanked by wall lights or table lamps at each end to create a magical night-time ambiance. A mirror above the sideboard can double the impact of any display. Layering and overlapping objects creates a more curated look, while adding lighting enhances the overall atmosphere.
For a neutral, pared-back look, style your buffet table with natural elements such as plants and accessories made from raffia and various wooden tones. Play with displaying items at varying heights and group them in threes for a visually appealing finish. Fresh flowers, houseplants, and convincing faux blooms can bring organic shapes and colors to the space.
The height of the sideboards is ideal for use as bar cabinets. The enclosed design protects the wine bottles from direct sunlight and temperature changes, preserving the flavor and quality of the wine. The cabinet's spacious countertop also provides you with plenty of maneuvering space, whether you're mixing or displaying wine and ingredients.
