A sideboard or buffet, also known as a buffet table, is a long, low piece of furniture that’s usually placed in a dining room to store and display items. It’s also used as an extra surface for serving food. You’ll find sideboards and buffets are versatile enough to have in a living room, an entryway, and a hallway as a storage and display piece, as well. Buffets (aka, sideboards) are versatile storage for your entertaining essentials. What size should it be?
- A buffet has an average depth (front to back) of between 20 inches to 22 inches. Make sure your sideboard isn’t too deep because you need at least 24 inches of space between pieces of furniture for comfortable circulation.
- A buffet has an average length (side to side) of 60 inches. That’s fine for a dining room table of the same length or longer. But a 60-inch long sideboard could overpower a smaller 48-inch long table that seats four.
- You also want a buffet to be the perfect height so you can comfortably serve food from the top. Think of the standard height of your kitchen counter, which is 36 inches. That’s just about the right height for your dining room buffet. However, some buffets are 34 inches to 38 inches tall. A sideboard looks well-proportioned in a dining room if it’s taller than your dining room table, which will have a standard height of 28 inches to 30 inches.
- For tables 48-inches or smaller, consider a buffet 35-48 inches.
