Choosing the right kitchen cupboard and sideboard for your space

In a dining room, a buffet or sideboard can hold crockery, table linen and serving dishes, while providing extra surface space for entertaining. For the kitchen, a freestanding cupboard can provide additional storage for pantry staples, small appliances and utensils without the need for built-in cabinetry. In hallways or smaller spaces, a narrow sideboard offers somewhere to keep everyday items without taking up too much floor space.

If you need more vertical storage, explore our cabinets for taller designs, or browse our wardrobes for larger storage options.

Doors, drawers or open shelving?

The right storage layout depends on what you need to keep inside and how often you'll use it. Different designs offer their own advantages:

  • Cupboards with doors keep crockery, pantry items and other belongings out of sight, reducing clutter.

  • Sliding doors are a practical choice for narrower rooms, as they don't need extra space to swing open.

  • Drawers make it easier to organise smaller items such as cutlery, utensils and tea towels, keeping everything within reach.

  • Open shelving can be ideal for displaying glassware, decorative pieces or items you use regularly.

Measuring for your kitchen cupboard or sideboard

Before choosing a kitchen cupboard, measure the available wall space and consider how much room you'll need to move around it. Check the width, depth and height of the cabinet against your room dimensions, especially if it's going into a smaller kitchen or narrow hallway.

For cupboards with hinged doors or drawers, allow enough clearance to open them fully without blocking walkways or nearby furniture. Sliding doors can be a useful alternative where space is limited.

Choosing a finish that suits your home

Our kitchen cupboards and sideboards come in a range of finishes, including white, oak, walnut and darker wood-look tones. You'll also find designs with rattan-fronted doors, metal handles and contrasting legs for a little extra detail. A timber-look sideboard can complement an existing dining table, while a white cupboard can help create a lighter look in a smaller space. Rattan details add texture, particularly alongside timber furniture and neutral colours.

You don't need to match every piece exactly. Choosing complementary colours and materials can help your new cupboard sit comfortably alongside the furniture you already own.

Assembly options for kitchen cupboards and sideboards

Many of our kitchen cupboards and sideboards arrive flat-packed with assembly instructions and the necessary fittings. Before getting started, make sure you have enough floor space to lay out the panels and check that the assembled cupboard will fit through any doorways or narrow access points. For taller or heavier designs, follow the manufacturer's instructions for securing the unit to the wall to reduce the risk of tipping.

Kitchen Cupboard and Sideboard FAQ


What's the difference between a buffet, a sideboard and a cupboard?

Buffets and sideboards are generally low, wide storage units with cupboards, drawers or a combination of both. Buffets are traditionally used in dining rooms for storing tableware and serving food, while sideboards can also be used in living rooms and hallways. Kitchen cupboards may be taller or offer more enclosed storage. The best choice depends on the dimensions and storage layout rather than the name.

Can I use a cupboard as kitchen storage?

Yes, freestanding kitchen cupboards and sideboards can provide extra storage for dry pantry goods, crockery, utensils and small appliances. They can be useful if you need more storage without installing additional cabinetry. However, they're not designed to replace fitted kitchen cupboards or built-in units beneath a benchtop. You can also explore our dining range for coordinating furniture.

What depth should I look for?

Many kitchen cupboards and sideboards are approximately 35–45cm deep, although dimensions vary between designs. Deeper cupboards can provide more storage space, while shallower options are generally better suited to narrow kitchens, hallways and smaller dining areas. Measure your available floor space and allow enough clearance for doors, drawers and walkways before ordering.

How do you clean a wooden buffet?

Use a soft, dry or slightly damp microfibre cloth to remove dust and everyday marks. For more stubborn spots, wipe gently with a mild soapy solution and dry the surface afterwards. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals and excess moisture, particularly on wood-look finishes. Always follow the care instructions supplied with your furniture.

Do these kitchen cupboards need assembly?

Most kitchen cupboards and sideboards require some assembly, with instructions and fittings supplied. The amount of assembly depends on the design, so check the individual product listing before ordering. It's also worth checking the package dimensions to make sure you can move the cupboard into your intended room, particularly if you have stairs or narrow doorways.
