I’ve been using this little sideboard in both living areas and hallways for its clever mix of solid oak and deep blue paint - it adds structure without overwhelming a space. Its compact size makes it ideal for smaller rooms or as extra storage in a kitchen-diner, and the neutral-coloured oak top works well with marble, weathered stone or simple concrete accessories.
To style it, keep the top clear of clutter by choosing two or three key pieces: a low ceramic lamp, a small plant or a tray for your keys and post. Inside, the drawers are great for charging cables or stationery, while the cupboards hide bulkier items like table linens or board games. Pair it with brass-handled furniture or dark-painted walls for a modern country look, or place it against pale, muted walls in a Scandi-inspired scheme.
