Buffet Tables

Give Your Dining Room More Storage With Buffet Tables

Clutter builds up quickly around meals. Plates, serving bowls, and glassware often crowd cupboards that already feel full. A well-designed buffet table gives you extra room to store the things you reach for often while keeping your dining area organised.

Our range of buffet tables pairs smart storage with style that suits homes across Australia. At Amart, you will find dining furniture that helps your space feel tidy, practical, and ready for everyday family life or weekend entertaining.

What is a buffet table?

A buffet table is a practical piece of dining room furniture that combines storage with a display surface. It usually sits against a wall and works as a storage cabinet for serving pieces, tableware, and everyday items you want close to your dining area.

Many people compare buffet tables with sideboards. Both offer storage, yet buffet tables often sit near dining tables and help organise items like cutlery, placemats, and serving dishes so everything stays within easy reach.

Types of buffet tables at Amart

Storage needs vary from home to home. That’s why our buffet cabinet collection includes a mix of layouts to suit different lifestyles and room sizes.

Take a look at the options that offer function and flexibility:

• 2-door buffet: A space-smart choice for smaller rooms, with simple enclosed storage for everyday items.
• 3 or 4 door buffet: Great for larger families or entertainers needing more room to store dishes, glassware or platters.
• Buffet with drawers: Ideal for keeping cutlery, napkins and serving tools neat and easy to grab.
• Buffet with wine rack: Some of our new arrivals feature built-in wine racks for easy access and extra shelf space.

How big should your buffet table be?

Your buffet table should suit the size of your wall and the layout of your dining space. As a guide, it should be wide enough to store what you need, but not so large that it blocks walkways or overwhelms the room.

Keep these sizing tips in mind while you plan:

• Leave enough walking space around the buffet table so chairs and people can move freely between the dining area and the living room.
• Measure the wall width and aim for a buffet that fills the space comfortably without touching other furniture pieces.
• Smaller rooms often suit compact units around one to one and a half metres wide.
• Larger open-plan homes can comfortably fit wider buffet tables that offer extra storage.

What buffet table styles and colours are available?

Every home has its own personality. Our sideboard buffet collection includes designs that suit classic interiors, relaxed coastal homes, and modern spaces alike. Popular styles in our collection include country, luxe, contemporary, coastal, modern contemporary, classic, rustic, urban and industrial.

Colour also plays a big role in how a buffet table fits into your room. Many best-selling designs appear in shades such as white, natural timber, beige, dark timber, medium timber, light timber, black, grey, brown, green, and blue, so you can match your existing furniture.

Where to put a buffet table in your home?

Most people place a buffet in the dining room, though this versatile piece works well in several areas of the house. Its storage and surface space can support everyday routines across different rooms.

Think about these placement ideas around your home:

• A buffet table in the living area can store board games, candles, and spare blankets while keeping your living space organised.
• Positioning one near your dining sets helps hold serving dishes, glassware, and extra table linens.
• Hallways benefit from a slim buffet that provides storage without taking up too much floor space.
• In larger rooms, a buffet table can complement other furniture like console tables, coffee tables, entertainment units, and side tables.

How to style a buffet table

The top of a buffet table offers a perfect place to show off personality while keeping the surface practical for everyday use. A few thoughtful touches can turn this furniture piece into a stylish focal point.

Simple styling ideas can bring balance and warmth to your dining area:

• Layer decorative pieces from our homewares range to add texture and personality.
• Add table lamps or decorative lighting to create soft ambience for evening meals.
• A white buffet pairs beautifully with hamptons inspired styling using ceramics, glass vases, and neutral décor.
• Keep things simple with a minimalist approach by grouping a few carefully chosen pieces.
• Make use of shelves and drawers to organise items so the surface stays neat and clutter-free.

Which buffet table material should you choose?

Material plays a big role in the look, durability, and price of your furniture. Timber buffet tables bring warmth and natural character that work well with many interior styles.

Keeping your buffet table in great shape

Daily use naturally brings a bit of wear to furniture, especially in a busy dining area. A few easy care habits will help your buffet table stay looking great for years.

Keep your buffet table looking its best with these simple tips:

• Wipe surfaces regularly with a soft cloth to remove dust and everyday marks.
• Use coasters or placemats to protect the surface from heat and moisture.
• Avoid harsh cleaning products that may affect timber or engineered wood finishes.
• Place your buffet away from direct sunlight to reduce fading over time.
