Enhancing your Dining Room with a Stunning Buffets and Cabinets

When entertaining in your modern dining room, are you always wishing there was an area that could give you an extra set of hands, like a staging area? Buffets and Cabinets do just that. They are pieces of furniture that sit to the side of the dining room table, and enable you to have a display area for food and drink, as well as hold storage of china, flatware and other decorative dining room amenities. If you are looking for a way to enhance your dining room, try adding a modern sideboard or a contemporary cabinet.

Adding color to your dining room

Sideboards come in a variety of styles, and colors for varying decorative styles. One great way to add color to your dining room is through the sideboard. Historically sideboards were made from wood and only the stain varied the color. Today, there are as many materials for sideboards as cabinetry.

From slick European finishes in bold colors to traditional painted wood. Your dining room will love that punch of color to enliven the room and give visual support to the dining room table and chairs.

Beautiful display area

Even though sideboards are intended to free up your hands when entertaining and serving meals, they also make beautiful display areas. Because sideboards are meant to compliment the dining room table, they typically are left free of clutter.

DINING ROOM SIDEBOARD - Of course we shouldn’t knock on the dining room sideboard. If you aren’t a fan of the great big mirrored lighted, a sleek credenza is just the right thing for you. Cause it promises to hold your tableware with care and provide extra space to display food.

Add visual interest to your dining room when the sideboard isn’t in use for clean lined decorative vases, pottery or small collections. Don’t clutter the sideboard with lots of knick knacks or it will lose its visual interest. A few key elements can make your sideboard a beautiful display area.

Don’t forget the storage

The ability for sideboards to have incredible storage may be their best-hidden secret! Sideboards will typically have doors to hide drawers or shelves behind. Use this area for seasonal table settings, table linens, candles, and other accessories that don’t always need to be on display. The sideboard storage area is an ideal place to house matches, and candle lighters – so you don’t have to go hunting for them at a dinner party! For dining rooms that need additional storage, consider hanging complimentary wall shelving above the sideboard. Use for storing and displaying family heirlooms and vintage dining room accessories as well.
