Bedroom Chest of Drawers – Stylish Storage

Bedroom Sideboard — Storage & Ambiance in Your Bedroom

A sideboard in the bedroom is more than just a piece of storage furniture. It's a statement piece that significantly shapes the ambiance of your bedroom. Unlike a wardrobe, a sideboard offers open storage for clothes, accessories, and personal items, as well as a surface where you can place decorations, a mirror, or lighting. At Industrial Home, we custom-make bedroom sideboards to your exact specifications — in the dimensions, material, and style that perfectly suit 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 ample storage, low enough for a large mirror above it.
  • Quiet Operation — Soft-close drawers are especially 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 material and style. A set of nightstand + sideboard in the same material gives the bedroom a cohesive, finished feel.
  • Ambiance — Ambiance is particularly important in the bedroom. Warm materials like solid oak or walnut, or a calm color in white or soft grey, contribute to a relaxed bedroom atmosphere.

Dimensions 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 most bedroom walls and offers ample storage.
  • 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 — down to the centimeter.

Materials for a Bedroom Sideboard

Solid Oak

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

Solid Walnut

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

HPL or Painted White

For a bright, fresh bedroom, HPL in white or light grey, or painted 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 side panels and doors. This creates a two-tone effect that is both warm and modern.

Combine with Nightstand and Mirror

A bedroom set consisting of a sideboard + matching nightstands gives the room a cohesive, finished feel. At Industrial Home, many customers order both pieces of furniture simultaneously 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 with 60–80 cm width and 80–100 cm height fits perfectly on a sideboard of 90–120 cm width. Round mirrors create a more playful, modern effect.

Tips for a Stylish Bedroom with a Sideboard

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

  • Symmetry — Flank the sideboard with two identical table lamps or candle holders for a calm, balanced look.
  • Mirror above the sideboard — A rectangular or round mirror above the sideboard makes the room appear larger and gives the arrangement a classic, rounded overall look.
  • Decoration on the top — Less is more. Opt for a plant, a few candles, or a beautiful bowl. Three objects of different heights work best.
  • Color Coordination — Make sure the sideboard harmonizes with at least one other piece of furniture or textile in the room (bed, curtains, pillows). This creates cohesion.
  • Lighting — Atmospheric lighting on or next to the sideboard (LED strips, table lamp, wall lamp) makes the bedroom even more a place of tranquility.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a sideboard and a chest of drawers?

A sideboard has a combination of drawers and doors, while a chest of drawers only has drawers. A sideboard also has a decorative top that is meant for placing items on (mirror, lamp, photos).

How high should a bedroom sideboard be?

The ideal height is 80–90 cm. This gives you enough storage space in the drawers and allows for a beautiful mirror above it. There is also room for a taller cabinet (up to 100–110 cm), depending on your ceiling height.

Can I order a sideboard and nightstands simultaneously in the same material?

Yes — and we recommend it. Ordering in the same batch guarantees that material color and finish match 100%. Ask about our set discount.

Are soft-close drawers available?

All Industrial Home sideboards come standard with soft-close drawers. Completely free of charge.

Can I submit my own design for my bedroom sideboard?

Absolutely. That's our specialty. Send your sketch, photo, or dimensioned drawing, and we will transform it into a production-ready sideboard. Free consultation included.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Sideboard

  • Standard Height: 75-90 cm — practical as a side table and for a mirror above it. Lower (60-70 cm) creates a calmer effect in the room.
  • Depth: 35-45 cm is standard. Deeper than 45 cm is difficult to fit in a narrow hallway or bedroom.
  • Width vs. Wall Space: Leave at least 40 cm on both sides for visual breathing room. A sideboard that fills the entire wall appears heavier.
  • Mirror above the Sideboard: Bottom edge of the mirror approx. 10-15 cm above the top. Mirror width = 50-75% of the sideboard width for good proportions.
  • Storage Space: Combine drawers (for small items) with doors (for larger storage space). At least 2 drawers for daily use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What sideboard width fits in an average bedroom?

120-160 cm wide fits in most bedrooms. Check if there is 50-60 cm of free space to open the drawers.

How many drawers does a standard sideboard have?

Typically 3-6 drawers of various sizes. Some combine drawers with doors.

Is a tall or low sideboard better?

Low (70-80 cm): more spacious feel. Tall (110-130 cm): more storage space. Choose based on storage needs.

Can I place a mirror on the sideboard?

Yes — a classic combination. Choose a mirror that is 10-20 cm narrower than the sideboard. Secure it firmly to the wall for safety.

Which material is best?

Solid wood for warmth and durability. HPL for ease of maintenance. Avoid particle board — less durable.

How do I organize drawers efficiently?

Top drawers: accessories. Middle: T-shirts, underwear. Bottom: sweaters, jeans. Use drawer organizers for additional structure.
