Bedroom Chest of Drawers Buying Guide

From providing extra storage space to propping up pictures of loved ones, a chest of drawers are a common feature in many a bedroom. But with so many styles, sizes and storage needs, where do you start? 
In this blog, we've put together everything you need to know about these iconic pieces of furniture and set out some of the best chest of drawers on the market. 

What style of chest of drawers are there?

Chests of drawers come in an assortment of styles so there is bound to be something to match your interior design needs depending on how you are trying to style your space.

If you are cultivating a calming, boho style bedroom, then a chest of drawers that uses natural materials and comes in neutral colours will fit in perfectly. For more contemporary bedrooms, a high gloss finish could be just the ticket or if you are in need of furniture which reflects as much light as possible then perhaps a chest of drawers with a mirror finish is the one for you.

Whichever style you opt for, make sure you consider the best colour options for your bedroom (you could even check out our blog on What Are the Best Colours for Bedrooms?), whether or not you want your drawers to have handles and the right size chest of drawers.

What size chest of drawers are right for my bedroom?

Chest of drawers come in all shapes and sizes, so it's important to measure your own space and work out what kind of chest of drawers will best suit your bedroom. Your choice might also be heavily dependent on what you need to put into your chest of drawers!

If you are in need of a fair amount of extra clothes storage but aren't flushed with space, a thin chest of drawers is probably what you are looking for. On the other hand, if you have ample room and are looking for deep drawers and a place to balance your TV, a chest of drawers with some width will be perfect. You might also consider smaller and more compact options for kids' rooms and bigger (and perhaps more elegant)  chests of drawers for adult bedrooms.

Whichever chest of drawers you opt for, make sure you consider how much storage space you need your chest of drawers to provide, how much floorspace it will take up, whether you have enough space to open your drawers with ease, and whether your chosen size works with the flow of light in your bedroom.
