industrial sideboards
The industrial sideboard is the piece of furniture that defines the character of a living room with its striking presence. It combines the organic warmth of solid wood with the structural strength of black metal, creating a powerful and sophisticated visual contrast. These industrial sideboards are not only style statements but also high-capacity storage solutions, ideal for organizing tableware, documents, or textiles. At Sklum, we offer designs ranging from compact modules with metal mesh to large pieces with sliding barn doors, all designed to bring functionality and an authentic urban aesthetic to dining rooms, entryways, or open-plan loft-style spaces.

Industrial display cabinets: Solidity and urban design
In contemporary interior design, the industrial style stands out for its structural honesty and its ability to age gracefully. An industrial sideboard is the perfect balance between the raw functionality of vintage factory furniture and modern elegance. Characterized by the use of exposed iron frames, woods with pronounced grain, and details such as rivets or casters, these pieces act as focal points in any room. They are versatile items that fit seamlessly into a purely "factory" setting as well as eclectic spaces where the aim is to break the monotony with rich textures and authentic materials.
Types of industrial storage furniture
| Type of Sideboard | Technical Specifications | Ideal for... |
|---|---|---|
| Sideboard with Metal Doors | Fronts made of perforated sheet metal, mesh, or solid metal. Vintage locker or archive aesthetic. | Add a "raw" and masculine touch to the living room, concealing the contents but allowing ventilation. |
| Wood and Black Iron | Main body made of wood (mango, acacia) framed by dark metal profiles. | Family dining rooms that need visual warmth without sacrificing structural strength. |
| Sideboard with Wheels | Inspired by workshop trolleys, it incorporates industrial wheels (fixed or movable) instead of legs. | Lofts and flexible spaces where the ability to easily reconfigure the layout is valued. |
| Sideboard with glass window | Doors with glass and metal panels, factory window style. | Display tableware or books, protecting them from dust and adding visual lightness to the furniture. |
Advantages of the industrial style in the home
- Superior Strength: The combination of solid wood and welded metal ensures extreme durability against daily use and weight.
- Timeless Character: Far from fleeting trends, aged and natural finishes gain personality over time.
- Versatility of Use: They work equally well as a bar cabinet, TV stand, sideboard, or entryway furniture.
- Decorative Contrast: They break the coldness of white walls or concrete floors, adding texture and depth to the interior design.
Tips for integrating an industrial sideboard
To soften the starkness of the metal, decorate the surface with organic elements: hanging green plants, warm-light lamps, or natural fiber trays. If the sideboard is very dark, place it against a light wall to highlight its silhouette. Combine it with a vintage-style rug or kilim to define the area and add acoustic and visual comfort to the overall look.
Frequently asked questions about industrial display cases
-
Can the wheels be locked on mobile models?
Yes, sideboards with wheels usually include safety brakes on at least two of them to ensure stability once in place.
-
How do you clean painted metal?
Simply wipe with a damp cloth and dry afterward. Avoid abrasive products that could scratch the epoxy paint or aged finish.
-
Are they very heavy pieces of furniture?
Because they are made of solid wood and iron, they are usually heavier than those made of particleboard. Make sure you have help to move or assemble them.
-
Does the wood have a rough finish?
Many models retain the natural texture of the wood to enhance the rustic-industrial style, although the top surfaces are usually polished for practical use.
