In JYSK, you’ll find a large selection of sideboards. A sideboard is a stylish addition to any home, being both a practical storage solution and aesthetic element for either your dining area, living room, hallway or even bedroom. Below, you’ll find a comprehensive overview of everything you need to know about sideboards.
1. Sideboard functionality and benefits
The primary benefit of sideboards is their storage space. With multiple drawers, shelves, or cabinets, they provide a convenient solution for organising and storing everything from dinnerware to books, electronics, and other household essentials.
In addition to their function as a practical storage unit, sideboards themselves serve as an aesthetic visual element for your home as well. To make them even more decorative, you can style your sideboard with prints in frames, decorative bowls, vases, or artificial plants to add an eye-catching touch of personality to your room.
2. Choosing the right sideboard
Sideboards come in a range of styles, sizes, and materials. From a white or black sleek, modern sideboard to a more rustic and traditional wood sideboard, there's an option that’s perfect for every home. Whether you should choose a sideboard with or without drawers depends on your needs for organised storage and preferences regarding a sleek, streamlined look.
3. Sideboards with drawers or doors
Sideboards with drawers and/or doors allow you to hide away clutter and maintain a tidy appearance, making them ideal for storing items you would prefer to keep out of sight. At the same time, sideboards with drawers are perfect for keeping smaller items or even textiles such as bed linen and tablecloths neatly arranged and easily accessible.
4. Sideboards with shelves
Sideboards with shelves offer open storage, allowing you to showcase decorative items and store items such as books. The absence of drawers creates a lighter, more airy appearance, making sideboards without drawers ideal for smaller spaces or rooms where you want to maintain a sense of openness.
5. Multi-purpose usage for sideboards
While sideboards are commonly associated with dining rooms, their versatility allows them to serve multiple functions throughout the home. In the living room for example, you can use your sideboard as a stylish TV bench, while also providing storage for media equipment.
