Depth based on real objects
A large serving dish or tall glasses may need more room than cutlery. We check what you own before making the cabinet shallower.

Bespoke sideboards in Barcelona
We can assist you inEspañolEnglishDeutschРусский
Designed for the space, specified for use and fitted on site
A sideboard is used from the dining table but seen from the entrance and living room too. Before setting its depth, we measure the tableware it must hold and the space left when a chair is pulled out.
Designed for your space
Tableware stored, table kept clear
The right dimensions do not simply fill the wall: doors and drawers need to open while the dining room remains usable.
Chairs and doors on one plan
Clearance is tested with people at the table and drawers open, not in an empty room.
Support for the weight
Crockery, bottles and stone can be heavy. Wall and floor determine whether feet, a plinth or suspended fixing make sense.
Interiors made to be used
Adjustable shelves, varied drawer heights or glass display areas follow particular objects rather than a generic catalogue.
Our process
How we work, step by step
These steps connect the first estimate to the final fitting. Measurements and specification come before the binding price.
Initial estimate
Share the address, room photos, approximate measurements and the furniture you have in mind. We outline a price range to be checked against the measured space.
Measured survey
At the property we record the relevant dimensions, services and wall conditions. We also check how the pieces can enter the building.
Design, when required
If drawings or a design are needed, we develop them after the survey. The design work is included at no extra charge when you order us to manufacture to that project.
Detailed quotation
With the layout and specification agreed, we set out materials, fittings, delivery, installation and the final amount in writing.
Approval and deposit
You confirm the proposal and pay the deposit stated in the quotation. This authorises the production order.
Workshop production
We cut, finish and prepare the components according to the approved drawings and dimensions.
Fitting on site
The team delivers and assembles the furniture, then adjusts fronts, hinges and visible joints.
Review with you
Before closing the job, we go through doors, drawers and finishes together and record anything that needs a final adjustment.
Your project starts here
Give every centimetre a purpose.
I'm Joaquín Pardo. Show me the awkward corner, column or wall that is limiting your room. We can start with what you need to store and explore ways to use the space without crowding it.
No obligation. Rough measurements are enough to get started.
Solutions for your space
Sort the tableware before dividing the doors
A long cabinet can combine hidden and visible storage; its proportions depend on the table, daylight and route around it.
Everyday plates within reach
Drawers avoid reaching to the back of a low shelf for dishes used each week.
Objects worth displaying
Glass or open niches work when you decide which pieces will remain on show.
A useful top surface
If it holds serving plates or a coffee machine, height and finish should suit that use.

Configuration gallery
Examples of bespoke sideboards
Sixteen configurations showing different layouts, finishes and ways to integrate the furniture into a real room.
Oak with vertical detailA low cabinet leaves breathing room above; decide whether its top will carry dishes or display objects.
Walnut and bronze glassGlass reveals selected contents; opaque doors can hold linen and less-used pieces.
Light lacquer above the floorThe floating look depends on wall strength and the expected drawer load.
Sideboard for media devicesSlatted doors can screen equipment, provided heat and remote access are considered.
Shallow cabinet by the tableA curved end eases circulation; measure your widest serving dish first.
Curves in smoked oakThe continuous shape still needs clear door breaks and adequate opening room.
Black fronts with a mineral topStone and stored crockery add weight; check the legs, supports and floor.
Glass at both endsDisplay cabinets organise visible pieces while the centre can hold one larger object.
Oak with woven panelsCane detail allows airflow and partial views; plan what will sit behind each door.
Coffee behind closed doorsAppliances and cups can share one section if sockets and cleaning access remain practical.
Shoes in a narrow hall unitEntry storage works better when footwear is kept apart from keys and clean belongings.
Blue with a timber topJudge colour beside the floor and table; a tiny swatch can mislead across a long wall.
Walnut and pale stoneStone, underlighting and curved doors need detailing together before workshop drawings are final.
Drawers within easy reachFull-extension runners bring dishes forward; handle and height should suit the users.
Cabinetry around a pillarA column can separate drawers and display; measure each face so doors clear the corner.
Sage green with a warm interiorTraditional fronts can conceal current fittings; compare them with the room’s trim and daylight.
Three ways to approach the specification
What changes the scope?
Drawer quantity, top material and fixing method explain more of the cost than a range label.
Daily storage01
A working piece
Doors and drawers allocated to crockery and linen, with a finish that is easy to look after.
- Objects measured before layout
- Depth checked against circulation
- Straightforward openings
Dining room feature02
Mix storage with display
Open or glazed sections bring selected objects into view while less decorative items stay hidden.
- Different heights by object
- Samples beside table and floor
- Lighting planned if selected
One-off piece03
Resolve form and material
Curves, stone or a floating design call for checks on weight, structure and wall junctions.
- Wall support verified
- Workshop details agreed
- Fitting included in scope
A detailed quotation
Dimensions for a sideboard you can actually use
Useful depth depends on tableware and the passage behind chairs. A photograph with the table in use tells us more than an empty wall.
Contents to store
List large plates, glassware, linen and objects you would prefer to display.
Distance to the table
Measure passage with a chair occupied and pulled out for someone to stand.
Serving height
If food or drinks will sit on top, explain the task that surface must support.
Wall and sockets
Photograph skirting, outlets and any radiator near the sideboard.
From early guidance to a final figure
From enquiry to a confirmed proposal
01First review
We assess the information, clarify the scope and identify missing details. This enquiry does not generate an automatic price.
02Detailed quotation
The proposal sets out the agreed design, specification, price and fitting conditions after the necessary checks.

Materials and details
Construction follows a sideboard’s loads and use
Displaying glasses differs from storing heavy plates or using the top for serving.
Visible materials, interiors and accessories are identified separately in the proposal.
Before deciding
Before commissioning a sideboard
Where could a coffee station or small bar go?＋
Plan power, heat and cleaning access. Share appliance models and dimensions before deciding on a closed cupboard.
Can it be shallower than a standard cabinet?＋
Yes, provided your largest dishes fit and doors or drawers still work beside the table.
Can a floating sideboard hold dishes?＋
It depends on total load and wall construction. Fixing is chosen after checking the support, not by appearance alone.
Start with the details you have
Send the details you have
Send a photograph of the wall, available width and depth, and your storage needs. We will review the details and explain the next step.

Bespoke sideboards in Barcelona: depth and door swing
A sideboard should hold tableware without narrowing the route around the table. Its depth follows the actual contents and the space chairs need.
We measure large dishes, trays and smaller items before dividing drawers and doors. This avoids deep shelves where things disappear at the back.
A working top needs a different surface from a decorative front. We compare impact resistance, cleaning and finish against the existing floor and table.
Send dining room photographs with chairs pulled out, wall measurements and a list of contents. We check the recess and access before manufacture.
