Calligaris Medium Sideboards

A medium Calligaris sideboard can work particularly well where you want useful storage and a distinctive piece of furniture without giving over a long wall to a larger cabinet. Start with the space available, but also decide what you actually need the sideboard to hold before choosing by appearance.

Check the storage you need, not just the outside dimensions

If there are particular items you want to store, check that the internal layout works for them. Shelves, compartments and usable internal dimensions matter more than the overall width if the things you bought the sideboard for will not fit comfortably inside.

Calligaris is a European brand and much of its cabinet furniture tends towards larger proportions. Its medium-sized pieces can therefore be particularly relevant in UK homes where wall space is more restricted.

A sideboard can be a feature piece as well as storage

As more homes have moved towards open-plan kitchen and living spaces, much everyday storage has become part of the fitted kitchen. A freestanding sideboard can therefore earn its place through its appearance as well as what it holds. Calligaris offers feature fronts, different base details and finishes that can make the cabinet an individual piece rather than simply another storage unit.

Consider how you will use the top

Where available, a ceramic top can be useful if the surface will regularly be used for serving food and drinks. It can also provide a visual connection with a Calligaris dining table elsewhere in the room.

See larger finishes before making the final decision

Colour, texture and the depth of a feature front can be difficult to understand from a photograph. Light also changes how a finish appears across a larger piece of furniture. At our Ash Vale showroom you can compare furniture and finish samples alongside other pieces you are considering.
