10 Gorgeous Wayfair Sideboards Styled Like a Designer (Shopping Links Included!)
From modern classic to organic warm tones, I’ve styled 10 affordable Wayfair sideboards you can easily recreate.
Be it in a living room, hallway, entryway, or dining room — sideboard buffets (or credenzas, if you want to flex your fancy design vocabulary) are a stylish way to stash clutter, or at least organized clutter, while showing off your personality with a beautifully curated vignette. Think of them as functional decor heroes.
The formula for styling a sideboard is pretty much the same as styling an entryway — layered, intentional, and full of charm.
In this post, I’m sharing 10 chic, understated sideboards from Wayfair that are incredibly budget-friendly and look so high-end. And the best part? I’ve styled each one with a curated look to inspire you. Swipe through each moodboard to see a super realistic rendering that helps you visualize the full design. Recreate the look with confidence — every piece is linked.
1. Traditional oak sideboard with shaker-style cabinet
For all the transitional style lovers out there — this reddish sideboard strikes the perfect balance. It leans traditional at first glance, but the modern details make it feel fresh and current. I especially love the vertical lines on the door detailing, the shaker-style panels, and that gorgeous knob hardware — all subtle nods to modern design. And at this price? If you love transitional decor, this is one piece you don’t want to miss.

8. Compact Fluted Sideboard with Sleek Black Legs
Another gorgeous fluted sideboard option — this one comes with modern, sleek metal legs that give it an elevated look. While it could easily double as a TV unit, I’d actually style it in an entryway.

It’s a beautiful way to create a stylish first impression without taking up too much space.
