What material are contemporary oak sideboards made from?

Contemporary oak sideboards are typically made from solid European oak or oak veneer over solid timber. The natural grain is highlighted with matt oil or wax-oil finishes for durability and aesthetic depth.

How do I care for a solid oak sideboard?

Dust regularly with a soft cloth, wipe spills straight away, and avoid abrasive cleaners. If recommended by the manufacturer, you may refresh the finish periodically with suitable oil or wax.

What size sideboard should I choose for my space?

Measure the wall space available and ensure you allow at least 10-15 cm clearance either side for visual balance and movement. For example, the Ethnicraft PI Collection offers multiple widths, enabling you to select a size that fits your room. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}

Can contemporary oak sideboards suit different interior styles?

Yes. While the clean lines and natural oak suits minimalist, Scandi and modern interiors, the warmth and texture of wood also complement transitional or eclectic settings when paired thoughtfully.
