Bedroom Sideboard - Stylish Storage

Bedroom Sideboard — Storage & Ambiance in Your Bedroom

A sideboard in the bedroom is more than just a storage cabinet. It's a statement piece that helps define the ambiance of your bedroom. Unlike a wardrobe, a sideboard offers open storage space for clothes, accessories, and personal items, as well as a top surface where you can place decorations, a mirror, or lighting. At Industrial Home, we custom-make bedroom sideboards — in the size, material, and style that perfectly match your bedroom.

Bedroom sideboard vs. living room sideboard

A bedroom sideboard has different requirements than a living room sideboard. In the bedroom, it's all about:

• Appropriate height — In the bedroom, you often combine the sideboard with a mirror. A height of 80–90 cm is ideal: high enough for sufficient storage space, low enough for a large mirror above it.
• Silent operation — Soft-close drawers are extra valuable in the bedroom — no noise early in the morning or late at night.
• Combination with nightstands — The sideboard should match the nightstands and bed in terms of material and style. A set of nightstand + sideboard in the same material gives the bedroom a coordinated, interior-ready feel.
• Ambiance — Ambiance is especially important in the bedroom. Warm materials like solid oak or walnut, or a calm white or soft grey color, contribute to a relaxed bedroom mood.

Sizes for a bedroom sideboard

The most popular widths for bedroom sideboards:

• 60–80 cm — Compact, for small bedrooms or as an addition next to a wardrobe.
• 90–120 cm — Standard bedroom width. Fits along most bedroom walls and offers ample storage space.
• 130–160 cm — Wide, for more spacious bedrooms or if the sideboard also functions as a TV unit.

Height: 75–90 cm is standard for a bedroom sideboard. Depth: 40–50 cm. But at Industrial Home, you determine the dimensions — accurate to the centimeter.

Materials for a bedroom sideboard

Solid oak

Oak is warm, timeless, and brings a natural feel to the bedroom. Available in natural oak (light, Scandinavian), smoked oak (dark, woody), or stained in any desired shade. An oak sideboard combines beautifully with oak nightstands and an oak bed.

Solid walnut

Walnut is dark, rich, and luxurious. A walnut sideboard in the bedroom immediately creates a high-quality, warm atmosphere. Combines well with creamy white or grey walls and linen or velvet bedding.

HPL or lacquered white

For a bright, fresh bedroom, white or light grey HPL or sprayed MDF is a perfect choice. Matches almost any bed and bedroom style. Also check out our white sideboard page.

Combinations

A popular combination is a sideboard with an oak or walnut top and white or grey sides and doors. This creates a two-tone effect that feels warm yet modern.

Combining with a nightstand and mirror

A bedroom set of a sideboard + matching nightstands gives the room a coordinated, interior-ready feel. At Industrial Home, many customers order both pieces of furniture at the same time in the same material. This ensures that colors and finishes match 100%.

Above the sideboard, a mirror is almost always a good choice. A rectangular mirror 60–80 cm wide and 80–100 cm high fits perfectly on a sideboard 90–120 cm wide. Round mirrors create a more playful, modern effect.

Tips for a stylish bedroom with a sideboard

A sideboard in the bedroom has the most impact when you consciously use it as a style element. Some tips:

• Symmetry — Flank the sideboard with two identical table lamps or candlesticks for a calm, balanced look.
• Mirror above the sideboard — A rectangular or round mirror above the sideboard optically enlarges the room and gives the arrangement a classic, finished look.
• Decoration on the top — Less is more. Opt for a plant, a few candles, or an elegant bowl. Three objects of different heights work best.
• Color coordination — Ensure the sideboard matches at least one other piece of furniture or textile in the room (bed, curtains, pillows). This creates cohesion.
• Lighting — Mood lighting on or next to the sideboard (LED strip, table lamp, wall lamp) makes the bedroom even more of a place to relax.
