Cattelan Italia Large Sideboards

A large Cattelan Italia sideboard can become an architectural part of the room in its own right. The appeal is often the design of the piece itself u2014 the front treatment, finish, proportions and detailing u2014 with storage as an important but secondary consideration unless you have something specific to accommodate.

Many Cattelan sideboard designs are produced in several widths, so the same design may be available as a medium or large sideboard, with some models also offered in more compact two-door versions.

Give a longer sideboard enough space around it

On a larger wall, a long sideboard can create a strong horizontal line and help anchor the room. Check not only that it fits physically, but that there is enough space around it for the piece to feel deliberate rather than squeezed between other furniture.

The relationship with the dining table can be particularly important. A substantial table and a substantial sideboard can work very well together, but they need enough separation and circulation space so that neither dominates the room at the expense of the other.

Use the finish to connect rather than simply match

Cattelan's materials and metal finishes give you the option to carry a theme through the room without turning it into a matching suite. A bronze-toned detail on a sideboard, for example, might be picked up again in a mirror or lighting choice rather than repeated on every piece.

Think about what sits above the sideboard too

A large sideboard often leaves an equally important area of wall above it. A mirror can help complete the composition, but scale matters: something too small can look lost over a long piece of furniture, while a larger design can make the sideboard and wall feel considered as one arrangement.

If you are working with a more contained wall, compare our Cattelan Italia medium sideboards instead.
