10 Best Sideboards UK 2024 | John Lewis, Argos Home and More

Introducing our top sideboard, this is available in black and white, both of which are neutral options and perfect for the modern home. Additionally, you have an array of different storage options with open cubes, drawers and a single-door cupboard.  

With all the storage in mind and the excellent price we think this makes the best value for money. To top things off it also has almost the ideal mid-sized dimensions, making it suitable for plenty of different sized rooms.  

This smart dresser features an unusual combination of traditional dark wood tones and modern design, meaning it wouldn't look out of place among modern or traditional décor. 

The sideboard is made of a combination of pinewood and particle board, resulting in it being lightweight but still able to hold up to 100 kilos of your favourite books and other bits. On top of that, you get a significant amount of space for the money, making it an excellent choice if you're on a tight budget. 

The design is retro-inspired, and we particularly like the long legs that give the sideboard a mid-century modern kind of aesthetic. Not only that, but the panelled design offers something a little more interesting than flat planks of wood.  

A perfectly versatile sideboard/TV stand hybrid from John Lewis & Partners and in true John Lewis style, it feels like a solid, stable bit of furniture so is guaranteed to stand the test of time. 

This sideboard from Argos Home harks back to older times, with design flourishes such as curved surfaces and plinth style legs. It reminds us of something you'd see in the classic Disney films of yesteryear, such as Peter Pan or Beauty and the Beast, and who hasn't wanted to live in one of those worlds before?

This charming sideboard is on the more petite side, thus making it an ideal choice if the room you're aiming to decorate is smaller or you want a compact piece. What's more, we think the size and design would be brilliant for a nursery or child's bedroom. 

If you're not familiar with the ANYDAY range by John Lewis & Partners, it essentially comprises top-quality goods without the steep prices. Here we have their dresser, which is astonishingly large, making it ideal for those homes where chaos never seems too far away. 

Within the dresser, we have four big cubes and two doors, so there are plenty of shelves to both display and store items neatly. The drawback is that there's not a lot of information on this piece with regards to weight and material, which is useful information we would expect from such a company.

The Cambourne sideboard from ValuFurniture is a fuss-free, affordable way of furnishing your home. It is designed to help you minimise messy clutter and does so by providing you with three drawers and three cupboards. Furthermore, you can use the tabletop to create a homely display of family snaps or house a few design-focused knick-knacks. 

This piece is made from engineered wood, rather than real wood, with an oak effect finish, but will likely suit many contemporary homes. Again, the instructions aren't known to be the easiest, so you could struggle if you're not confident with building things. 

While many sideboards hide debris and tidy a house, they also have the opposite advantage of showing off your collection of cookware, glassware, records, books or whatever you find yourself most proud of. If that's the look you're going for, then this will be right up your street.

Not only that, but the sideboard is also a nice piece of furniture in itself, made from solid oak with eight display shelves. Of course, the standout feature is the ink blue colour, which may split the crowd, but it's a certified winner for us. 

To us, this offering from Mercers Furniture is the perfect hallway sideboard. It has drawers across the top, which will be handy for housing keys, wallets, headphones and other accessories. Underneath, it could double up as a closed shoe rack for your daily footwear selection. 

That said, you'll need a pretty big hallway as this is one of the widest options in our ranking. Still, it could always work elsewhere in the home. Some buyers have found the assembly instructions hard to master, though, so you'll want to have a DIY-savvy person around when it's go-time. 

Here we have our first dresser sideboard, and without doubt, the best feature is the storage on offer as there are five open cube spaces and shelf space behind the two doors. Furthermore, the design is modern, particularly the legs, which give the piece that ever-popular Scandinavian feel. 

However, while there might be plenty of storage options, most of them are out in the open. For some people, this will be an advantage. For others, not so much. It just depends on why you want the sideboard and what you plan to put in or on it. 

Getting the ball rolling, we have this TV Stand Sideboard from John Lewis & Partners. As the name suggests, it's a slight hybrid of designs and capable of being utilised in many different rooms. Plus, the Art Deco style is very on point with the interior trends of the moment. 

There are a couple of things to note, though. Firstly, if you're not looking to use it as a TV stand, then the storage may not be the most ideal as there aren't any drawers. Secondly, although it's rather expensive, it's made of MDF. Good MDF, but MDF nonetheless.
