Can't match sideboard to dining table. Help!

Anonymous
Do you have a painting, art, or window treatments in the room that you could pull a color from for the sideboard? Or, colors in an adjoining room that you could pull in?

For example, our living room is painted a medium green blue color. In the adjoining dining room, we have a pine hutch, medium oak table and chairs, and a sideboard painted a similar blue to the living room color. We have a transitional style. The window treatments also have some of the blue in them. It flows together very well.

What do you think about something like this? Too country? I really try to stay away from country and my room is more transitional to contemporary.

My walls are white on the bottom (with a white chair rail molding) and taupe above the chair rail. So, I do worry about putting a white or cream colored sideboard against the white wall.


Way too much wood.


What do you mean? What else would a sideboard be made out of? I don't want glass doors because I need to store all kinds of crap in there.

NP here. Just guessing, but I bet the last poster meant that the piece is too heavy-looking. It reads as a whole lot of wood. I think you'd be happier with something funkier or sleeker or antique. Such as a sleek, white sideboard with legs or an old dresser that you paint a fun color or something.

I think the second thumbnail there with the antique white bottom and stained top would be nice & sleek and not too country. Agree if the whole thing is stained wood it's too country.

NP here. This sideboard is really nice and much more contemporary and attractive. Very well done by the poster who picked it out. If the top closely matches the stain of the table (hard for us to judge), it's perfect to tie it all together for a sleek and transitional look. The other sideboard was too heavy and dowdy looking.

Ah, ok. Thanks.

I like 2, 1 and 3 (in that order).

The ethan allen, greta fluted, and second west elm are all bad choices. The ethan allen is too heavy looking and the other two are just plain ugly. The restoration hardware and first west elm are ok. Ballard designs generally make cheap furniture, so I'd stay away from them anyway.

The link a PP posted to a sideboard is nice, but if you have to go with one of these, pick the RH or WE, although it likely won't match as well because the white/wood is reversed from the way it would be best. (Wood on top, white base)

I like the restoration hardware one best.
