Hokkaido Sideboard

Craft a sleek, modern sideboard with this woodworking plan. Inspired by Japanese design, it offers compact storage, graceful lines, and timeless appeal.

Build a stunning Hokkaido Sideboard that blends modern Japanese design with classic craftsmanship. Inspired by the clean, compact furniture styles of Japan's Hokkaido region—originally influenced by European and American aesthetics—this elegant piece delivers both beauty and utility.

With a raised case and top, gracefully tapered legs, and minimalist proportions, the sideboard offers a light and airy feel that complements any space. Despite its small footprint, it features four spacious drawers and two cabinets with adjustable shelves—perfect for organizing dining essentials, electronics, or decor. Whether placed against a wall or used as a room divider, the finished back panel and symmetrical design make it an eye-catching centerpiece.

The project plan includes detailed, step-by-step instructions for creating the joinery, drawer construction with hardwood guides, and building a solid frame using red alder and Baltic birch plywood. Ideal for intermediate woodworkers looking to combine practical storage with refined, modern style.
