Ethnic & Tropical Sideboards

Ethnic Style focuses on pieces that capture aspects of the culture and traditions of diverse peoples. This style was a very popular fashion trend that defined the hippie era in the 60s and 70s. 

Ethnic Style undoubtedly transports us to exotic locations, far from the West and in warm climates, evoking fundamentally bright atmospheres, with blurred boundaries between outdoors and indoors and an aesthetic closely tied to the earth and local culture, featuring handcrafted decorative elements. Currently, ethnic style is a hit for adding character to sophisticated spaces. 

Strong and solid woods, handcrafted without perfect finishes, showing nails and joints, as well as Rattan, are some of the main materials for Ethnic Style Sideboards, creating robust furniture where the passage of time is only visible in the wood patina, lasting for generations.

Zigzag patterns, as well as all types of designs with geometric shapes, fundamentally rhombuses and triangles in highly contrasting tones (whites on blacks, browns or dark blues, mainly), are used by Ethnic Style Sideboards.

These sideboards are characterised by their neutral tones that combine with warmer ones, such as browns, beiges or greys, closely linked to the earth.

Although their very colourful options also stand out, featuring several strong and contrasting colours (reds, terracottas or bronzes), which blur the boundary with the boho style. 

The warm style of these storage units opens up a whole range of decorative possibilities to combine with both traditional and more modern styles.

If you want to give your home an ethnic yet chic feel, you can mix these storage pieces with more modern decorative objects, resulting in a space where tradition and sophistication join harmoniously. 

If exotic cultures fascinate you, with this decorative style you can convey a different feeling and achieve original spaces with a great artistic and traditional load. 

Sideboards are an essential piece of furniture in your home, as they will not only help you maintain organisation but also the aesthetics, making your life easier.

There is nothing better for keeping order and optimising space in the living room than having storage space to place books, magazines and much more. To do this, when buying any sideboard, you must take into account the number of shelves, doors and drawers they offer, to choose the one that best responds to the needs of each home. 

With drawers, doors decorated with Rattan, with legs, reaching the floor or even wheels, sideboards are one of the indispensable pieces in any living room or hallway.

In any case, these high-quality pieces will combine with the rest of your furniture, giving your home that warm and welcoming air you are looking for.

You must define your needs before choosing the Sideboard that will lead your room.

Choose a Sideboard with doors, shelves or if you prefer, opt for a Sideboard with wheels to move it with total ease.

Regarding size, everything depends on the available space and storage needs. 

For small spaces, the ideal is to opt for a low Sideboard with legs, as it will be lighter and facilitate cleaning, enhancing the feeling of spaciousness, integrating fully into the decoration and visually occupying less in the room.

In contrast, for large spaces where the Sideboard has a leading presence, opt for a large Sideboard with space to gain storage and free your room from media players and other small objects you use daily.

Make the most of empty space by framing the wall, paint the wall with bright and vivid colours, or use exotic and tropical leaf, plant and flower wallpaper that will make it stand out and create a unique atmosphere.

Do not hesitate to adorn your Sideboard with vases with natural greenery, the use of many flowers being essential to achieve an authentic Tropical Style. Similarly, use figures of animals or people from other cultures to achieve an Ethnic Style atmosphere.

Dare to play with the decoration, including a palette of turquoise, fuchsia and green colours, in harmony with jute rugs, as well as wood and mesh furniture, for endless Ethnic Style decorative possibilities. 

Light is also fundamental, so make use of large windows, as well as places where great luminosity enters to let the sun's rays pass through, providing warmth.

Dress the walls with decorative objects such as plates or wall tapestries with geometric or zigzag motifs, colourful and especially from other cultures for an original and exotic Ethnic Style atmosphere.
