6 Ways to Style a Dining Room Sideboard
It’s time for another “6 Ways to Style” post and each time I compile one of these, it makes me more excited than the last! It’s basically like I get to play with paper dolls… except it’s digital furniture styling instead of cardboard cutout fashion figures. Ha! Regardless, it makes me very happy and gives me an opportunity to zone out and do something fun. This one was a reader request- how to style a dining room sideboard or buffet. Click through to see six very different (yet equally amazing) options…
Everything in each vignette is shoppable… just click each item in the photo or use the links below each collage to find the source!
COASTAL
01: wall sconce // 02: palm artwork // 03: candle holders // 04: woven basket // 05: large vase // 06: blue sideboard
Lately I’m having a serious moment with all things blue, so this specific credenza is really speaking to me. You also know I’m a fan of anything woven and textural, so the doors are also tugging at my heart strings. The sconces are the super affordable piece of this scenario- from Urban Outfitters. If you missed the UO home roundup earlier in the week… it’s a must-read!
GLAM
01: classic gallery wall // 02: faux bird of paradise // 03: glam sideboard // 04: white curvy planter
I didn’t realize One Kings Lane now has curated gallery wall artwork you can buy as a collection… total game changer for those of you who would like help pairing art. This vignette is simple, bright, and classic if you’re into the glam aesthetic. I think olive trees and bird of paradise plants are going to be the “it trees” this year.
COOL
01: modern gallery wall collection // 02: brass floor lamp // 03: faux potted succulent plant // 04: pedestal bowl // 05: black sideboard
I confess, this is another OKL curated gallery wall… they’re just so good! This entire sideboard situation has me reminiscing the Proper Hotel because I think it’s giving off a Kelly Wearstler kind of vibe. Hopefully she’s not insulted that I just compared my quick little paper doll collage to her insanely gorgeous masterpiece, but it’s giving me that feel. I just bought two of those floor lamps- the price is right and it looks much more expensive than it actually is.
MINIMAL
01: large wall mirror // 02: faux branch // 03: minimal black tray // 04: brass sideboard
This brass metal mesh buffet is what industrial dreams are made of. It’s warm and hip without being too clinical or cold for a metal piece of furniture. I’m really loving the simplicity! Maybe Marie Kondo fans would be into this? If I owned that sideboard, I’m willing to bet it would certainly spark joy.
CHIC
01: pair of prints // 02: modern wall sconce // 03: peony arrangement // 04: classical bust // 05: traditional sideboard
Ahhh, you know I’m moving toward traditional lately and this little cutie cabinet is calling my name. If I weren’t mid bathroom renovation and sticking to a strict budget, I’d buy this right here and now. It’s stunning! Don’t get me started on the metal tassel shaped hardware.
MODERN
01: picture light // 02: slim aarons ski print // 03: faux palm // 04: modern white planter // 05: mid century sideboard
Last, but not least- the modern vignette. This is the least expensive sideboard cabinet from the entire post. Would you have guessed that? I don’t think I would’ve! It has a fresh and warm feel with the linear wood. I’ve always told myself I will own or purchase a skiing related Slim Aarons print someday. This is one you don’t see too frequently… I’m liking it!
Did you have a favorite? Do you have room in your dining room for a sideboard? This is the first home we’ll be able to do that and I’m very excited! Come to think of it… this is the first home we’ll actually be able to have a full dining set (more than 4 chairs). That’s reason for celebration (and dinner parties) in itself. I’ll link more “6 Ways to Style” posts below, if you’re interested in more:
