Chest of Drawers

Chests of drawers and dressers are more than just bedroom staples, they are a versatile piece of furniture that belongs to a range of room in our homes and is the perfect partner to keep everything nice and organised. From neatly housing your prized possessions to elevating the aesthetic of your room, these furniture gems offer a reliable storage solution that can be used according your storage needs. Chests vs Dressers - What’s the difference? While they both serve a similar purpose - storing your belongings in drawers - there are a few key differences that set them apart. Let's start with the chest of drawers. This piece typically features a tall, narrow design with multiple drawers stacked vertically. Each drawer is usually the same size, offering uniform storage space. Chests of drawers are great for rooms with limited floor space or for those who prefer a sleek, vertical storage solution. On the other hand, dressers tend to be wider and lower in profile. They often feature a combination of drawer sizes, with larger drawers on the bottom and smaller ones towards the top. Dressers may also include a mirror attached to the top or be designed specifically to accommodate one. Due to their horizontal layout, dressers are ideal for spreading out and displaying decorative items on top. In summary, while both chests of drawers and dressers provide storage through drawers, their differences lie in their size, shape, and layout. Where to use chest of drawers? Although chest of drawers are commonly used in the bedroom, to keep your clothes or linen beautifully stored, it is an incredible versatile piece of furniture that can be used anywhere in the home. In the hallway to keep your shoes, hats, gloves, scarves and other pieces that you want to keep organised and accessible when your going in and out. In the dining room if you would like it to serve as a sideboard to store your table linens, serving ware and extra dishes. In the home office to sort out your paperwork and stationery. In the nursery or children’s room store clothes, toys and toiletries. In the living room, your books, games and blankets will have a safe place and you can even use it as a TV stand and hide all your games and controls inside. In the bathroom you can use a mini chest of drawers to organize all your toiletries, towels and make up. Small chest of drawers are great to keep sewing items, jewellery and small bits sorted. Finding the Perfect Fit When it comes to selecting the ideal dresser or chest, size matters. Take a cue from your space and measure wisely. Ensure your chosen piece doesn't overpower your room by checking its depth, you wouldn't want it to protrude awkwardly or cramp your layout. Leave ample space for movement, especially if you're placing it near a door or alongside other furniture. And remember, height matters too! Opt for a taller chest for maximum storage or a shorter one if you plan to adorn it with a mirror or artwork. Where to Find the Best Chest of Drawers Online and local furniture retailers offer a variety of options, complete with showrooms to ignite your inspiration. If budget is a concern, explore online second-hand retailers or venture into antique and vintage stores for a piece with character. For those seeking a specific style or design, homeware retailers are your best bet. Keep in mind that regarding the chest of drawers, quality is invaluable. When you have so many drawers to deal with and daily use, don’t go for cheap chests that will not last. Choose a solid wood one that will stand the test of time, age gracefully and you still will have the opportunity to recycle it if you want to.
