What is a buffet table?

Wondering what a buffet table is used for? Buffet tables are a versatile piece of furniture designed for both display and storage, ideal for food presentation, and a stylish addition to any room. Historically, buffet tables crafted from natural wood have been a staple for centuries, often used in the context of banquet-style dining. In those times, these tables served as the perfect surface for presenting an array of dishes to diners, allowing them to fill their plates with ease.

Today, buffet tables have evolved, and you're just as likely to find them in living rooms as in dining areas. In dining rooms, buffet cabinets serve a variety of purposes:

• Linen: They store items such as tablecloths and placemats.
• Crockery and Serving Dishes: Buffet tables are perfect for housing your crockery and serving dishes.
• Glassware: Store your glassware conveniently.
• Alcohol: Keep your drinks and liquor well-organized.
• Cutlery and Serving Utensils: A buffet cabinet is a practical solution for storing cutlery and serving utensils.

How To Style Your Buffet Table

The spacious surface of a buffet table provides the perfect canvas to display decorative homewares and accessories, including vases, lamps, and small artificial plants. In living rooms, they function as both storage pieces and aesthetically pleasing surfaces, often adorned with mirror or wall art and decorated with tasteful accessories. Get creative with your buffet decorating ideas by creating clusters of new home decor items at different heights, achieving a stylish, effortless look.

What is the difference between a buffet table and a sideboard?

Although the terms "buffet table" and "sideboard" are often used interchangeably, a buffet table is traditionally associated with dining rooms, while a sideboard is more commonly placed in other areas of the home, like the living room.

Can you put a buffet in a bedroom? Well, yes. While buffet tables for dining rooms are a common sight, they can also find a place in your personal sanctuary, adding a touch of elegance and extra bedroom storage.

As outdoor dining gains popularity in Australia, outdoor buffet tables are now also popular in alfresco spaces.
In open-plan living areas, you'll often find buffet tables, and in spacious kitchens with casual dining spaces, they serve a similar purpose, often referred to as "sideboards."

How tall is a buffet table?

Buffet tables are designed to be wide and low, offering a unique appeal. Typically, they are slightly taller than a standard dining table, as exemplified by our Amarah dining furniture collection. Keep in mind that dimensions can vary depending on the design. Consider the different heights of our buffet tables:

1. The Summit buffet table measuring 720mm tall.
2. The Silverwood buffet table measuring 800mm tall.
3. The Normandy buffet table measuring 850mm tall.

Do buffets need to match your dining table?

The choice is entirely yours. While matching your buffet with your Amart dining table, can create a coordinated look, you can also achieve a casual and eclectic appearance by selecting a sideboard or buffet table with similar elements that don't necessarily match. For example, our Normandy buffet table, designed with a farmhouse or rustic style, is an excellent fit for kitchens and features a two-tone finish that complements a wide range of dining room furniture. Other options include two-tone and white buffets like the Marseille, Alyssa, and the Le Franschhoek buffet units, which easily pair with various dining suites.

At Amart, we provide a versatile selection of buffet tables and sideboards that not only cater to your storage needs but also add an element of sophistication to your living spaces. Explore our range to find the perfect addition to your home.
