Elegant chests of drawers for the living room or another room in the house are – right next to the wardrobe – one of the basic pieces of furniture created with storage in mind. Centuries ago, before they became a permanent fixture in our homes, textiles, bedding, dishes and even food products were placed in simple chests made of boards. Over time, the chest of drawers took shape. Over the years, attention began to be paid not only to the capacity of the furniture, but also to its appearance. Chests and trunks were decorated with ornaments. Then drawers and lockable cabinets appeared, behind which there were hidden shelves and hidden compartments. This form has survived to this day – of course in various versions, in harmony with many trends in interior design. In this article, we will present interesting chests of drawers for the living room, bedroom, bathroom and hallway.
