Large Calligaris sideboards combine substantial storage with the opportunity to make the cabinet a feature of the room. Their proportions suit spaces where a smaller cabinet could look lost, but the starting point should still be what you need to store and how much wall space the furniture can comfortably occupy.
Calligaris cabinet furniture tends to be generously proportioned, reflecting its European origins. Before choosing a larger piece, consider the available wall length, nearby doors and furniture, and how the sideboard will sit within the room rather than checking only whether it physically fits.
Then look inside. If the sideboard has a particular job, make sure its shelves and compartments accommodate what you intend to store rather than assuming a larger cabinet automatically gives you the right type of storage.
Customers increasingly mix furniture rather than buying a complete matching dining-room collection. Calligaris suits that approach particularly well because its sideboards can use distinctive fronts, bases and finishes to become a feature in their own right.
If you are furnishing an open-plan space, there is still the option to carry materials through from other Calligaris furniture. Ceramic, metal and other finishes can create a visual relationship with the dining table or chairs without making every item identical.
Where available, a ceramic top can be particularly useful on a sideboard used for serving. It gives you a durable surface for food and drinks while also providing another opportunity to coordinate with a dining table.
The larger the cabinet, the more impact its colour, texture and front detail have on the room. Photographs and small samples cannot always show how light plays across a feature front or how a finish feels across a substantial surface.
If a larger cabinet would dominate the room, compare our medium Calligaris sideboards instead.
