Another design that might be out of a vintage shop window.

There are actually two sizes of this design, but the larger one does it for us. A 1960s look and with tapered feet, four drawers and two sliding doors, as well as a removable shelf. £849 is the list price.

Not the most spectacular design, but definitely a finish worth talking about.

It’s a a collaboration between designer Nick James and artist Bridget Jones, who has added in a limited edition screen printed Formica for the front on the European oak cabinet. Looks amazing.

6. Noah limited edition rosewood sideboard at Swoon Editions

I think we could have done a top 10 from Swoon Editions designs alone when it comes to midcentury modern sideboards. But after some serious thinking, we have gone for the one above.

There is a midcentury / Scandinavian vibe here, with the rosewood frame contrasted with those grey drawers. Lots of storage both inside and on top too. If this doesn’t work for you at £599, Swoon has many others that just might.

Another on the affordable side is this one from (you guessed it) John Lewis’ affordable furniture range.
