With space becoming more and more sacred in modern homes, finding pieces like a space saving sideboard has become important to a lot of home owners. But finding something that's space saving whilst still providing enough storage space is tricky, especially if you've got a particular look or style in mind.

Sideboards are designed to allow you to store a variety of things in once place. However, that can mean that they aren't always the most space savvy pieces of furniture. To help you choose a sideboard that ticks all the boxes, we've picked out 5 sideboards each with different space saving qualities.

 

1. Streamlined

If you need plenty of storage, a large sideboard might be non-negotiable. But large doesn't have to mean bulky or overbearing. A well-designed sideboard, like the Skovby SM88, can blend seamlessly into your decor. The Skovby SM88 features 8 drawers of varying sizes, offering space for cutlery, crockery and plenty more. We love the SM88 for the elongating effect its sleek, streamlined design has on a room.

2. Compact

At the opposite end of the spectrum is a compact space saving sideboard like the Henley Medium Sideboard. At 1 metre wide, the Sideboard maximises it's storage capacity by keeping it simple with a singular shelf. The shutter style design and light paint finish look modern and refreshing, perfect for a contemporary home.

3. Tall

If saving on floor space is your main concern a tall storage solution like the Estoril Highboard is ideal. With cupboard space, drawer storage and two glass fronted doors, the Highboard makes a beautiful feature. The Highboard is designed to co-ordinate with other pieces from the Estroil range so you can enjoy the complete look.

 

4. Multi-functional

A multi-functional sideboard can be a lifesaver if there isn't room for multiple pieces of furniture. The Little Tree Furniture Riya Sideboard offers drawer storage, generous cupboard space and even a wine rack! Made from reclaimed wood that was once part of an old fishing boat, the Riya Sideboard will bring history and character to your home.

5. Sliding

Unlike hinged doors, sliding doors don't require any space to open. Sliding doors make for a space saving sideboard because it can be placed into a narrow space. With the Skovby SM 733 there is also the option of wall-mounting it which creates the illusion of a larger room because you can see wall to wall floor space.
