Simple Suggestions and Tips for Decorating a Buffet

Buffets play a big role in the decoration of a home, without us always realizing it. The large, flat surface on their top allows us to decorate them with various objects , highlighting our personal style. So let's look at some easy suggestions, as well as tips, for decorating the buffet in the dining room , living room or bedroom , that will take your decoration to the next level!

Mirror

Perhaps the most timeless solution, decorating a sideboard with a mirror is a simple and easy solution, without any particular risks. The only points that deserve attention are that the style of the mirror matches that of the sideboard , for example, the sideboard should not be modern, but the mirror should be rustic (although there are exceptions) and that their sizes match, otherwise the mirror may look tiny on the wall. You can also place more than one mirror and create a beautiful and special composition on your wall.

Painting board

Staying on the decoration above the buffet , if you don't want a mirror , you can place a painting . The advice is the same as the section directly above, with the only difference being that instead of hanging the painting on the wall above the buffet , you can simply lean it against it.

Decorative

Since the buffet is almost always a large piece of furniture , it is customary to decorate it with a few large objects , and not with numerous small ones, since they tend to "get lost" in the eye. Timeless solutions are vases , candlesticks , table decorations and decorative plates , with a beautiful composition on them. At the same time, to give the buffet a little "life", many decorators also suggest adding a few plants, artificial or not.

Another tip is to add tall decorations to each end of the buffet , for example a tall lamp on one side and a tall vase or decoration on the other, for symmetry. As for the center of the buffet , you can choose something smaller in size (and ideally more than one object ), such as a set of artificial plants or a composition of candlesticks .

Avoid clutter

Perhaps self-evident to many, but worth mentioning. Under no circumstances should stacks of plates and bowls be left permanently on the buffet , or clothes if the buffet is in the bedroom (in place of a chest of drawers ). Buffets are designed to provide maximum storage space inside, so take advantage of it and avoid the appearance of clutter by having things displayed on a daily basis on top of it.
