Sometimes, the stars align and a furniture find ticks every box. Online retailer DUSK, known for its accessible, design-led homeware, has delivered the perfect piece.
Their Ruby sideboard combines the current butter yellow trend with generous storage and, at less than half price, it’s a stylish country home update that’s hard to resist.
Why we're adding it to our basket
Its warm, uplifting finish adds a small dose of joy without overwhelming your scheme but there’s plenty of substance beyond the style, too.
The roomy cupboards make it a versatile choice for a dining room, hallway or living space, with ample room for everyday clutter. Style it in a living room topped with lamps, books and vases, or use it in a dining room to keep crockery, serveware and linens neatly tucked away.
At £139, it offers excellent value for anyone looking to upgrade their storage while embracing a trending colour that shows no sign of fading.
How to style
Although the sunny shade might initially feel best suited to summer, it can easily be restyled as the seasons change.
Natural woods and woven textures will enhance its relaxed country feel and will work year-round.
For a more autumnal feel, give it a more dramatic look with a striking black table lamp – I’ve got my eye on one from Zara Home – alongside a rustic vase filled with burnt-orange leafy branches, stacks of books and a bowl of rosy apples.
If maximalism is more your thing, it would sit prettily against a wallpaper that features that same honeyed hue, Morris & Co’s Fruit or Compton in Spring would both make beautiful backdrops.
With its simple shape and capacious design, this is a piece that will serve you well for years to come.
