{"title":"Sideboards","description":"\u003cp\u003eA sideboard is the kind of piece of furniture that does more than provide storage. It straightens out a wall and gives stray belongings a permanent place. The top creates room for one good lamp or that stack of books that keeps moving from table to chair. In a small selection, that difference matters: you are not choosing between variants that look alike, but between clear styles with their own distinct material character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat to consider when choosing a sideboard\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWidth comes first. A sideboard should fill the wall without making it feel crowded, so look not only at the size of the furniture, but also at the open space around it. A good rule of thumb is to leave some wall visible on both sides. This looks calmer than a cabinet squeezed exactly between a door frame and radiator.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDepth is just as important. In a dining room, you notice every centimetre, especially along the walking route beside the chairs. A model that is too deep can quickly feel like a protruding corner that your hip keeps brushing against. For extra storage in the same style, you can also explore \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mioni.nl\/collections\/opbergmeubelen\"\u003estorage furniture\u003c\/a\u003e or a taller cabinet from the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mioni.nl\/collections\/wandkasten\"\u003ewall cabinets\u003c\/a\u003e collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMaterial and appearance: wood or metal\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSolid mango wood has a rich, lively grain. You can see the grain and subtle colour variations, rather than a flat surface that looks like a lacquered panel. It has the weight and appearance of real wood. Black mango creates more calm in a room than many people expect, especially on a light floor. The furniture visually settles closer to the floor and makes the wall look more streamlined.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGunmetal or dark metal feels cooler and more urban. It works particularly well alongside a dining table with a black base. The combination of wood and metal is often the most convincing, because the hardness of metal is softened by a warmer surface.

The wall above does not need to be full; one lamp or a print with some breathing room around it is preferable.

Think of an evening when you are setting the table and do not want to keep walking to the kitchen for a stack of plates. A sideboard next to the dining table makes moments like that much easier. Against a long wall, it often works better than an open cabinet, because closed fronts create a calmer look. You see one sleek volume instead of visible stacks on shelves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA sideboard also does a lot of work in the living room. Think of the wall where a charger and a pile of mail are currently left lying around. A sideboard immediately brings order there. For a media setup and equipment, a dedicated piece of furniture is often smarter; take a look at the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mioni.nl\/collections\/open-tv-meubelen\"\u003eopen TV furniture\u003c\/a\u003e.

A single table lamp with a warm light colour is often enough. Instead, place one tall object beside it, such as a vase with branches rising just above the cabinet, rather than a row of small accessories that create visual clutter. It can quickly start to look like a shop shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wall above does not need to be full either. A wide frame that is slightly narrower than the sideboard almost always works better than several small frames. For a more airy look, you can add \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mioni.nl\/collections\/wandplanken\"\u003ewall shelves\u003c\/a\u003e instead of placing another heavy piece of furniture on the floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCalm wins here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes a sideboard also work in a narrow hallway?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, a shallower model works best there. A hallway often already has enough visual weight from coats on the wall or bags on the floor. For entrance solutions with a different function, hallway furniture is often more logical.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is best to store in a sideboard?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThings you use regularly but do not want to keep in sight. For example, the drawer where chargers and loose cables always seem to disappear. A sideboard stores them more neatly without making them difficult to find. It is less suitable for things you reach for every day in tall stacks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow tall can the decoration on a sideboard be?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKeep the view of the wall calm. A lamp or tall vase works well, but do not fill the entire top. You want to leave some surface available; otherwise, the furniture loses its clean line.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs a sideboard the same as a TV unit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo, usually not. A sideboard is taller and focuses more on general storage. For equipment, remote controls and cable management, a TV unit is arranged more practically.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA good sideboard does not need to explain much. The size is right, the material feels convincing and it makes the room calmer. That is exactly what you want to be able to rely on when making this choice.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"dressoir-metal-4-deuren-gunmetal","title":"Metal sideboard 4 doors \/ Gunmetal","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe four gunmetal glass doors give the Metal sideboard an open, industrial look without making it appear bulky.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith a width of 180 cm, a depth of 40 cm, and a height of 92 cm, this sideboard fits perfectly in the living or dining room.
