5 Cabinets Perfect for Holiday Entertaining

One of the biggest joys of being a homeowner (or renter!) is entertaining guests in your space. Dinner parties and game nights often revolve around the dining table, but that’s not the only piece of furniture you may need. A well-positioned sideboard or buffet can make serving snacks and dishing up much easier in a busy, guest-filled room. It also provides another surface for decorative lighting and party decor. 

What’s the Difference Between a Buffet, a Server, and a Sideboard?

A dining room server is a traditional piece of furniture used for serving meals away from the table. It usually stands on tall legs for easy access to the food and doesn’t always have storage space. On the other hand, a sideboard table is all about the storage. It’s essentially a decorative cabinet for keeping china, cutlery, wine, decor, and anything else you might need on hand during a dinner party.

A buffet table combines the best of servers and sideboards — it has cabinets for storage and a spacious serving surface on tall legs.

A dining room is a special area that allows gatherings of friends and family, usually over a hearty home-cooked meal. How to choose a dining room table depends on a variety of factors. Lifestyle plays an important role when choosing a style of table. The way you use your table greatly impacts the style that you should go for. If your table is an extension to your kitchen, chances are that it will probably be used for more than just a meal. Food preparation, homework or work will benefit from a more casual style table, with a more durable surface that won’t easily damage. The size of your table depends on the size of the room.
