A solid oak sideboard can be used anywhere in the house, whether that's in the dining room paired with dining table and chairs, in the living room matched to a coffee table, combined with a dresser in the kitchen, or placed below a clock in a hallway. Incorporate it in the dining room to keep crockery and cutlery in easy reach or place it in the living room to store books, games or any other loose living room items that need a home.

If you don't have enough space in your hallway, our small sideboards are a great way to add interest or fill an unused gap. Use the inside cupboard space to store shoes and house your phone, plants, and family decorations on the top surface. You could also use a large sideboard to create a focal point in an unused alcove in the living room or kitchen – perhaps in the space next to a chimney breast.
