Whatever home decor style you favour you will find a chest of drawers to complement your bedroom. Today there are so many options in bedroom furniture that there is something to suit everyone and it need not cost the earth. Quality bedroom furniture has never been so affordable.
Which size to choose
Chests of drawers come in a wide range of widths, from narrow to extra wide, so whatever the size of your bedroom the space can be utilised. Where space is an issue, why not consider a five drawer narrow chest of drawers just 40 cm wide? This will only take up the same amount of floor space as a bedside cabinet, but provides more much needed storage space and will fit in a small area. There are many sizes of chests of drawers available, right up to 160 cm wide. It is easy to choose the drawers you need, from various designs incorporating a combination of large and small drawers, or chests where all the drawers are the same size. You can have as few as three or as many as eight drawers in your chest. Chests of drawers also come in various heights so it is worth planning the layout of your room before you decide which one you are going to buy.
What finish will look best
When you buy a bedroom chest of drawers you want it to complement the room. Whether you are looking for a natural wood finish or a colour such as white, cream, blue, pink or black you will find a suitable chest of drawers. Some pieces come in a combination of natural wood and a colour. Wood finishes available include beech, ash, oak, cherry walnut and pine so you can match your existing bedroom furniture if you are simply adding a piece. A more unusual finish is faux leather which will match a leather bed and adds a touch of elegance to any bedroom. Chests of drawers can also have a contemporary gloss finish that looks very stylish in black, cream or white, so if you are looking for something a little unusual you could opt for one of these modern chests of drawers. Other pieces of furniture in the same ranges are available to match them so you could create a whole new look for your bedroom, or just add a statement piece to the room.
Fully assembled or flat packed
Flat packed chests of drawers do have the advantage of being easier to transport than fully assembled ones and are often less expensive. However, as you have to assemble them you need some DIY skills and they cannot be used immediately like fully assembled chests. Fully assembled furniture only needs the handles attached and then it can be used straight away. It is usually very strong and durable.
There are many options to consider when you are looking for a new bedroom chest of drawers, so being clear about where you are going to place the item of furniture and what you plan to use it for is very important before deciding what you are going to purchase.
