Chest of drawers in the bedroom - how to arrange it and what to store in it?

A stackable chest of drawers is the perfect piece of bedroom furniture. It's spacious, doesn't take up much space, and will fit into any room, even the smallest. At Furnitop.co.uk, you'll find a huge selection of models in a variety of styles, colors, and sizes. You can easily match your chest of drawers to your bedroom décor, gaining additional storage space. In this article, we present top bedroom furniture collections that align with the latest interior design trends. So get started!

Next to the bed and wardrobe, a chest of drawers is the most essential piece of bedroom furniture. It enhances the comfort of the space, allows for a comfortable wardrobe, and also has purely decorative value. Where should you place it? Here are some practical suggestions:

• Next to the wardrobe – this way you will create a coherent bedroom wardrobe design, where you will have clothes, underwear, and home textiles at hand.
• On the wall opposite the bed, it will serve a representative purpose. Above the dresser, you can hang a television, a large mirror in an elegant frame, or a favorite painting (a landscape, graphic, poster, framed photo).
• Under the window – here, make sure the chest of drawers is below the windowsill. In this spot, it can function as a well-lit dressing table.
• A chest of drawers instead of a nightstand is a particularly recommended solution for small spaces. This compact, not-so-tall piece of furniture is a perfect replacement for a nightstand, offering significantly more storage space.
• A chest of drawers as an element of continuous construction in the bedroom - it is usually part of a larger dressing area (right next to cabinets, wardrobes, shelves, hangers, etc.), which can be separated from the bedroom corner by a light partition, a thick velvet curtain or slats.

Which chest of drawers should you choose for your bedroom?

The choice can be overwhelming. The sheer number of aesthetic and color options makes it easy to optimally match the furniture to your existing décor. You can opt for a low, wide chest of drawers with three or four doors, a narrower one with drawers, or one with open shelves for small items. We offer freestanding or wall-mounted models, with metal frames, or with tall, slender legs. The most important thing is that the chosen piece of furniture perfectly complements the design style and fits the specific character of the room.

Below we present some of our suggestions.

• Designer ROND chest of drawers.

Rounded furniture is the interior design hit of the season. The ROND collection features unique chests of drawers with rounded edges. Their distinctive features include spherical legs, handleless fronts with a push-to-open function, and a beautiful cashmere color, reflecting exclusive designs in the spirit of modern classic, art deco, or soft glam. Light, natural bouclé fabrics, designer decorations, and high-quality textiles complement the ROND line perfectly.

• A bedroom bathed in wood: COZY chest of drawers and HOBO.

Wood is perfect for relaxation areas. It creates a warm, natural atmosphere and is suitable for most interiors. The chests of drawers from the COZY and HOBO collections will fit beautifully into Scandinavian, eco, boho, rustic, or vintage décor, adding a cozy touch to any interior. The slim COZY model with drawers boasts a beautiful oiled oak color. It will make keeping things organized easier, and its compact size makes it perfect for small spaces.

The minimalist HOBO bedroom dresser features tall legs and handleless fronts. Its distinctive feature is a unique white marble top, adding a touch of sophistication to the interior in a light, unpretentious design.

• Beige KYOTO chest of drawers - simplicity with a bit of glitz.

Sand beige and cashmere have been very popular colors in recent seasons. They create the perfect backdrop for gold accents, making them perfect for designs inspired by a glamorous aesthetic. The KYOTO chest of drawers features gold legs and jewel-tone handles. It will complement a soft loft or modern classic décor. Spacious drawers, a cabinet, and shelves allow you to organize all sorts of items. KYOTO is available in several color options. Made of high-quality laminated furniture board, it will maintain its pristine appearance for a long time.

• JOHNNY chest of drawers in a rustic style

This collection boasts rustic, boho, and loft aesthetics. It will be a stylish addition to a cozy bedroom. The light shade of Lefkas oak complements the black legs and handles beautifully. The simple shape of the chest of drawers, along with its natural color scheme, will complement designs with rustic, Scandinavian, boho, or soft loft influences. It will appeal to lovers of minimalism and eco-friendly designs.

How to arrange the interior of a chest of drawers?

Spacious bedroom dressers with drawers and/or cabinets can hold a lot of items: underwear, pajamas, belts, scarves, gloves, T-shirts, sweaters arranged in cubes, and accessories. A pull-out drawer is perfect for storing your favorite jewelry (a flat box or a tray lined with soft fabric is ideal), as well as cosmetics, beauty products, and perfumes. The dresser can also double as a dressing table. On its top, you can place a mirror, a stylish lamp, or a bouquet of flowers in a vase.

If the furniture is to be used as a linen closet, it's worth equipping the drawers or cabinets with special organizers to help keep things tidy. This will allow you to easily separate individual items of clothing.

Bedroom wardrobes and chests of drawers are the perfect place for home textiles: tablecloths, napkins, table runners, curtains, bedding, towels, blankets, and bedspreads. Arrange them so that the heaviest items are on the bottom shelves, while smaller, lighter items occupy the top drawer or cabinet.

A small piece of furniture for special tasks

Beautiful bedroom chests of drawers often become mini-storage spaces, housing various knick-knacks, documents, photo albums, books, CDs, board games, chargers, decorative candles, and other decorations essential for setting the table. There's also room for a needlepoint set, spare batteries, small electronic devices, and toys. As you can see, it's hard to live without a practical chest of drawers, which is why they're often an essential piece of furniture in a bedroom, living room, or hallway. Some stand out with their unique, modern look (such as the INDA model with its dark green fronts adorned with fanciful milling). Others delight the eye with their timeless designs that never go out of style (the cashmere BORS model with dark oak accents). All offer ample storage space and high aesthetic appeal.

A white chest of drawers for the bedroom – when will it be a good idea?

White bedroom furniture is always a good choice. It provides the perfect backdrop for colorful accessories and patterned textiles (bedding, blankets, bedspreads), complements a variety of styles, visually opens up the space, and brightens the room. A white chest of drawers works well in a small space. It won't overwhelm the décor—on the contrary, it will bring a sense of lightness and freshness. So, if you're decorating a small space, opt for light-colored furniture and avoid excessive decoration. The minimalist CARA model in Arctic white is a practical choice here.

An elegant dresser in the bedroom can be used to display a night lamp, potted plants, framed photos, a jewelry stand, or other pretty knick-knacks. For example, decorations made from natural materials (basketwork, a wicker basket, a floor lamp with a wooden base) will look stunning on the top of a stylish dresser from the CANDIS collection.
