If there was one versatile furniture that could be used literally anywhere in the home, it would be a chest of drawers. This type of furniture sometimes resembles a lot of a TV stand and can be used as one, only when chosen at the right size. Because of its versatility, this furniture piece is available in a range of sizes, styles and finishes, allowing you to choose the one that can meet both your personal needs and budget. A chest of drawers can be small enough to serve as a nightstand or large enough to be used as a smaller wardrobe where you can keep a lot of clothes.





As the name implies, this furniture piece contains only drawers which means that you can't hang clothes in it. The best part about it, is that it can serve as both – a decorative furniture piece and as one that gives you lots of storage space to store whatever you want. This, in fact, is why they have become so popular. Whether the chest has only two drawers or more, owning one can enhance the place while keeping your stuff more organised. Except for using its inside, you can use its top as the ideal place to show off some of your favourite souvenirs, books or lamps. As already mentioned, regardless of the style and type, and regardless of the fact that the chosen ones are designer drawers or not, they can be placed anywhere in your home.

In the Bedroom


Ever since their invention, the main purpose of designer drawers was to store clothes in a bedroom. You can place a chest of drawers like this in front of your bed on the opposite wall, or somewhere else. The size of the chest of drawers can mainly depend on the size of your bedroom and how high the ceilings are. The number of drawers can also depend on the size of the overall chest of drawers but also from your taste. For instance, you might have the space to install a larger taste of drawers but want to have one with two or maximum three drawers. The choice is all up to you.


In the Children's Room


The ideal way to organise a kids room is by taking the advantage of using a chest of drawers. Whether you are lacking the space to put a larger wardrobe or not, this furniture piece could be great for storing everyday clothes and items. For instance, if using the classic four drawer chest of drawers, you can use the first two for keeping your kids underwear, t-shirts and pants while the second two could be for storing their favourite toys like puzzles, art supplies and some other smaller items. If having a baby, you can use them for storing clothes, diapers and towels. That convenient these drawers are.

In the Living Room


A small in width but higher in size chest of drawers could double the purpose of acting as a side table while being able to keep some of your daily living room essentials. Puzzles, games, TV remote, and books are just some of the many things you can keep in them. In case they have a lot of space, you can even keep your smaller in size workout gear.

Except as a side table, if the room allows it, you can choose to use chest of drawers as a TV stand on which you can place your TV while using the drawers for storing some items of your choice like guarantees and warranties of all of your electronic appliances. They can take up a lot of space and these drawers could be their ideal place.


In the Dining Room


Dining rooms are all about incorporating long and low chest of drawers. You can use the top for displaying drinks and beverages or always having at a hand your favourite tea set. Adding some floral arrangements on the top is also an option as well as some seasonal decoration. Regarding the drawers, you can use them for storing trays, silverware and some other items.


In the Guest Room

Since not all of us have the place to have larger guest rooms, the chest of drawers is the ideal place for your guests to keep their belongings when at your house. In case you don't use it that often, you can use the drawers for storing some items that you use occasionally like gift wraps, bolts, ribbons, tags, scissors, pens, scotch tape, etc. Except for this, you can use them for storing some other tings like sewing supplies, scrapbooking supplies, fabrics, some handbags that you don't use that often, etc. The list is endless and so are the things that you can keep inside a furniture piece like this.


Note: No matter of the type or size you choose, make sure you choose a quality material. Since there are different types of wood and colours, make sure to choose one that can meet the room décor and your personal needs.
