How you style your sideboard or buffet will depend on where it’s placed and what sort of purpose it needs to function. Here are some ideas for what to place on their surface according to the room they’re in: -Living room: Sculptures and figurines, flowers and greenery, vases and vessels, table lamps, candle holders, lanterns, oil burners, picture frames, pots and planters and trays. -Dining room: Tealight holders, candles, table linens, ice buckets, gravy boats, salt and pepper shakers and coasters. -Entryway/hallway: Trays and decor bowls for keys, scale models and water features.
