Buffets & Sideboards

Z Gallerie buffets and sideboards bring storage and a styling surface to dining rooms, entries, and open living spaces. The collection spans mirrored and metallic-finished pieces, sculptural wood silhouettes, and modern lacquer designs with detailed hardware and inset detailing.

Use a buffet to anchor a dining room with a styled vignette of decor and lamps, or place a sideboard against a long wall to add storage in a living room or entry. Style the top with a pair of lamps, a tray, a mirror or art above, and these pieces become a focal point as much as functional storage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a buffet and a sideboard?▼

The terms are often used interchangeably, but a buffet traditionally refers to a piece used in a dining room for serving and storing dinnerware, while a sideboard is broader and can appear in living rooms, entries, or hallways. Both have similar dimensions and storage configurations.

Where do buffets and sideboards work best?▼

Dining rooms (for serving, storage, and styling), long entry walls, and behind sofas in open-concept living rooms. The piece needs at least 6 feet of wall space, since most are between 60 and 80 inches long. Leave room to open the doors or drawers comfortably.

How do I style a buffet or sideboard?▼

Anchor with a pair of lamps or a single sculptural lamp on one side. Add a piece of art or a mirror above (about two-thirds the buffet's width), then layer in a tray, a vase, and one or two decorative objects. Keep the styling restrained so the piece doesn't read crowded.

What materials do Z Gallerie buffets and sideboards come in?▼

The collection spans solid and veneered wood in warm and dark finishes, mirrored glass, lacquer, and mixed-material designs combining metal accents with wood or stone tops. Hardware ranges from polished gold to brushed nickel and matte black.

How much storage do buffets typically offer?▼

Most buffets include a combination of drawers and cabinets behind hinged doors. Drawers typically hold flatware, linens, or smaller serveware; cabinets hold larger serving pieces, vases, and barware. Specific configurations vary; check the product details for each piece.
