Why choose a unique sideboard?

A sideboard is often placed in a prominent spot in the home. That is precisely why it makes all the difference whether you choose an everyday model or a sideboard that really adds something to the room. Unique sideboards stand out for their shape, appearance and presence, without compromising on their practical function.

• More character: A unique piece of furniture instantly adds a touch of individuality to your home
• Practical to use: ideal for crockery, home accessories or other items you want to store away neatly
• A strong visual element: suitable as a subtle backdrop or, conversely, as a real eye-catcher
• Easy to mix and match: fits in well with warm, modern interiors that have a personal touch

What should you look out for when choosing a unique sideboard?

A unique sideboard is not just about its appearance. Its proportions, layout and position in the home also determine whether a particular model will really work well in your interior. You should therefore pay particular attention to the combination of appearance and practicality.

Size and proportions

First, consider the available wall space and the height of the piece of furniture. A wider sideboard creates a sense of calm on a long wall, whilst a more compact model works better in smaller spaces or as a subtle accent. Also bear in mind the space needed to walk round the piece of furniture. If you’re looking for something a bit smaller in the same style, take a look at our unique sideboards.

Storage layout

Think about what you want to store. Closed compartments create a calm look, whilst an open compartment looks airier and offers space for decorative items. The right layout not only makes a sideboard look attractive, but also makes it practical for everyday use.

Creating a certain look in your home

A unique sideboard looks its best when it complements the atmosphere of the room. If you opt for a statement piece, the rest of the interior can remain more understated—think of the Oriental sideboard in high-gloss green. If you’re looking for a better balance, a sideboard with distinctive details but a simple, understated base often works very well.

Unique sideboards with their own distinctive style

In this category, you’ll find sideboards that stand out from mass-produced furniture. Think of a vintage sideboard with a well-loved look, such as the Sideboard with a weathered patina (4-door), or a modern interpretation such as the Maroon sideboard, 4-door. It is precisely these kinds of differences that make it easier to choose a piece of furniture that really suits you.

A unique sideboard works well in the living room, dining room or hall, as long as the piece is in proportion to the space. The top can be used to display accessories, lighting or art, whilst the cabinet itself helps to keep your interior calm and tidy. If you’d like to broaden your horizons, you can also find inspiration within Unique storage units.

For those looking for something more than the standard

Anyone looking for unique sideboards is usually not just after extra storage space. You want a piece of furniture that feels warm, exudes quality and adds something unique to your interior. That is precisely where the strength of this collection lies: not mass production, but character.

For many years, Looiershuis has been selecting furniture for people who consciously prioritise atmosphere, quality and a personal interior style. This makes this category particularly appealing if you’re looking for a unique sideboard that goes beyond mere functionality.

FAQ

What makes a sideboard unique?

A unique sideboard stands out for its appearance, shape and character. It is a piece of furniture that does not feel like a run-of-the-mill solution, but really adds something to the room.

Is a unique sideboard only suitable for the living room?

No, a unique sideboard can also work well in the dining room, hall or any other room where you want to combine storage space with style. If you’d prefer a lower piece of furniture in the same style for that setting, then low TV stands are also a good option. The most important thing is that the size and layout suit the space.

How do I choose the right size sideboard?

Consider the width of the wall, the available floor space and what you want to store in the sideboard. A well-chosen size will be in harmony with the room and prevent the piece from looking too imposing or, conversely, too small.
