What is the difference between a buffet and a sideboard?

The difference between a painted sideboard and a buffet depends mainly on where this piece of furniture is placed.

A painted sideboard consists of a long but fairly low storage space that mainly involves short legs and is mostly used in either of these two ways: as an entertainment center in the living room as it’s usually large enough to accommodate a TV, or to leave keys, mail, or some decorative items in your foyer.

On the contrary, a buffet looks just like a sideboard but it’s only used in the dining room.

In fact, you could have a piece of furniture that’s both a painted sideboard and a buffet simply depending on where you decide to place it or move it to.

What are sideboards used for?

Painted sideboards and buffets are useful units for incorporating extra storage into a room without taking up too much space. A fantastic use for a sideboard is in your front entryway, as a narrow table where you can place keys or other items to grab on your way out the door.

Sideboards that are low to the ground make great storage units for your living room or even in your bedroom. Their narrow depth makes it easy to fit them into almost any space, and you instantly have extra cupboards for storing excess books, linens, or DVDs.

Narrow hallways in your home can also benefit from a sideboard, especially when you place a lamp or candles on top as part of the decor. You can use these units in a hallway to add warmth and provide a light source in the evenings without completely obstructing the walkway.

Does a sideboard have to match the table?

No, your painted sideboards and buffets do not have to match the table. In fact, you can probably aim for more of an eclectic, vintage aesthetic if you don’t match your furniture in this way! In addition, since many painted sideboards and buffets tend to be one-of-a-kind, this will help you ramp up your collection without frustration and lengthy searches.
