Why Industrial Style Sideboards Are the Perfect Addition to Any Modern Space
At Russell Oak and Steel, we specialise in crafting beautifully bespoke industrial furniture that blends form, function, and character. Among our most versatile and sought-after pieces are our industrial style sideboards—a functional storage solution that adds serious style to any room.
Whether you’re upgrading your living room, dining space, or home office, an industrial sideboard provides the ideal balance of practicality and bold design. Here’s why these pieces deserve a spot in your home or workplace.
What Defines an Industrial Style Sideboard?
Industrial style furniture takes its cues from vintage factories and workshops. Think raw materials, rugged textures, and clean geometric lines. Our industrial style sideboards combine solid oak tops with matte black powder-coated steel frames to create a timeless piece that’s built to last.
These sideboards often feature elements such as exposed welds, visible steel hardware, and grain-rich wood that’s finished in your choice of eleven stunning oak shades—from deep ebony to warm honey tones.
In the evolving world of office design, industrial and modern styles have become increasingly popular for both professional and home offices. These styles, characterised by clean lines, minimalistic aesthetics, and practical functionality, are particularly appealing in the context of office desks and furniture made from durable materials like metal and steel.
Industrial-style desks often feature raw, unfinished looks that emphasise functionality and sturdiness. Here at Russell Oak and Steel we use solid american white oak and raw charcoal steel. Our steel frames provide a robust framework that can withstand the rigors of daily use. Our desks often include practical features like drawers, which are essential for organising office supplies and maintaining a clutter-free workspace.
Storage Meets Style
A sideboard is more than just a pretty piece—it’s a storage powerhouse. Whether you need a place to keep dinnerware, office supplies, or living room essentials, our sideboards offer internal shelving, soft-close drawers, and customisable compartment layouts.
Clients love how seamlessly our industrial style sideboards fit into open-plan spaces, loft conversions, and modern homes with exposed brick, concrete floors, or neutral colour palettes. They anchor a room visually while hiding away clutter.
Custom Options with Russell Oak and Steel
One size rarely fits all, especially when it comes to interior design. That’s why every industrial sideboard we make at Russell Oak and Steel is fully customisable. Need specific dimensions to fit a recess or alcove? Prefer a certain number of shelves or drawers? We’ll work with you one-on-one to design a piece that suits your exact needs.
Our team will also guide you through choosing a steel finish (Charcoal, White, Black, or any RAL colour) and a wood stain to match the rest of your space. You can even order a sample pack to see your chosen oak colours in person before finalising your design.
