A sideboard is a fairly long piece of storage furniture, most of the time equipped with sliding doors and compass feet. Appearing in the 1900s in Northern European countries, and mainly produced in Denmark and Sweden, the vintage sideboard has become a flagship piece of Scandinavian furniture. This piece of furniture, made of wood, gives a natural and warm look to any room. Its height can be variable, whether due to its volume or the length of its feet. It saves a lot of space in a living room, kitchen or even a bedroom, since it has a large storage capacity.

To summarize, the sideboard is THE piece of furniture that is as aesthetic as it is functional!

Highlight your vintage sideboard

The environment that will make your sideboard stand out : To make your vintage sideboard stand out, it is advisable to surround it with a wall and floor in sober and light tones. This way, the eye will easily focus on the row rather than on what surrounds it. Of course, nothing stops you from adding a few touches of bright colors to your decoration! On the wall, you can place a large mirror to give depth to your interior, a beautiful poster, a painting, or create an assortment of small frames. This tip will indirectly decorate your row! As for the floor, decorate it with a pretty Scandinavian rug in a natural material such as wool or rope.

Decorate the wall with a wall shelf : And why not place one (or more!) shelves above your sideboard? This is a very good idea for decorating your sideboard without directly cluttering it. You could place some additional decorative elements there; photo frames, candles, lamp, decorative objects, or a pretty hanging plant for example. In this way, the environment in which your sideboard is located will particularly highlight it.

Decorate your furniture : A few decorative elements will enhance your row and add a personal touch: for example, you can place a few frames, a pretty plant or a beautiful bouquet of flowers, a mirror, or even small candles! In this way, you will create a decoration that suits you without directly touching the furniture in question. If you like to change your decoration regularly, you are free to do so whenever you want; you can add objects, remove them, or simply change their arrangement!

Playing with light : In order to highlight your vintage sideboard, it is important that a light source, whether natural or artificial, is directed towards it. For example, you can place your furniture facing a window or bay window, place a decorative lamp on it, put a floor lamp next to it, or even hang a pretty light pendant just above it. The frame in which your row is located is very important; it allows it to be highlighted by giving you a wide range of possibilities.
