If you'll be using a sideboard to store keepsakes and art objects, consider models that have glass sides with pre-wired lighting. Whenever you turn off the overhead lights of your room, the lighting from your unit will create a sexy and romantic atmosphere. The lighting will enhance an intimate dining's mood. Just make sure that there is an electrical outlet near the location you have chosen for the unit. Typically, there's a switch inside a sideboard or buffet to control the lights.
