Hi Anita,
Many people like to use Sherwin Williams brand paint however, I have used many different brands of paint and have always had success. I look for a paint that is made for trim or cabinets. Also remember that preparation is the key to long lasting paint. Be sure everything is deglossed if it's a glossy surface and I suggest using a primer. Many paints today are a combo primer and paint, but I've had a lot more success using a primer first, then a paint. Here's an interesting article that I think will add to your research. What I found interesting is one of the questions where it was suggested to add Floetrol to the paint if it's showing brush marks. I need to do my kitchen cabinets and kitchen trim this winter myself. I have the paint but I'm going to pick up some Floetrol too just for the extra smoothness. Wishing you the best.

if the sideboard is not solid wood you can still paint it !https://repurposeandupcycle.com/can-you-paint-ikea-furniture/
If the wood has visible knots, they need to be sealed with shellac before painting white. The tannins bleed through and turn the white paint yellow.
