Chest of Drawers
The right storage makes a room feel bigger, reduces clutter and makes tidying a breeze. One often-overlooked piece of furniture that no bedroom should be without is a chest of drawers. It may seem obvious, but a chest of drawers serves many purposes. It allows you to sort, categorise and store different clothing items in a logical fashion, blends in with your room decor and can even double as a display unit or vanity unit in a small space.
Choosing a bedroom chest of drawers is a reasonably straightforward process. First, you need to assess your space and ensure that you select an oak chest of drawers that is big enough to accommodate all of the clothes that you need to fold but not so big that it dominates the room.
You then need to decide on a style. The three main styles are contemporary, rustic and traditional. Contemporary pieces are ideal to complement a modern home. They are usually sleek, stylish and feature eco-friendly materials. Rustic pieces are designed with longevity in mind. These pieces usually feature natural woods, complete with knots and sanded edges. They are ideally suited to country cottages. A traditional oak chest of drawers is designed to integrate into any decor scheme and type of home. It is inconspicuous, attractive and simple in design.
You then need to choose what material your bedroom chest of drawers should be built from - typically selecting between MDF or woods such as oak and pine. MDF is usually a cost-effective option although it will be less durable. Finally, you will need to select a colour. Natural woods are truly attractive and can be waxed or polished to keep them looking their best. Alternatively, you may opt for a painted chest of drawers if this better complements your home's decor scheme and your own personal preferences.
