Why the Sideboard Is a Must-Have in Every Home

In our busy modern lives, we all look for furniture that makes daily living easier — pieces that feel beautiful yet serve a purpose.The sideboard, or buffet, does just that. Born in 18th-century Europe, it started out as a long serving table against the dining room wall, holding tableware and linens for grand feasts. Over time, it evolved into a refined wooden cabinet with drawers and doors — both functional and expressive of its owner’s taste. Today, the sideboard has found its way into nearly every corner of the home. With clean lines and adaptable storage, it fits just as naturally in a living room or entryway as it once did in dining halls.
