Picture a house characterized with rustic simplicity, with an ornate French Chest of Drawers stairway and sanded down narra banister, and noticeable slate-gray granite floor. Or even a modernist abode using a secure bedroom with olive walls, multicolored cushions & sturdy wooden bed and bench with only a few basic items placed on it. In both instances, an accent piece like a charming chest of drawers will integrate nicely with the other furniture pieces and overall architectural design.The chest – whether it’s a small & slim mini cabinet with four squarish drawers that’ll look nice in a nook beside the flight of stairs, or perhaps a lowboy (that means a set of drawers on short legs) beside the bed, can be more than just a pretty conversation piece. Just like a slim and functional bookcase in warm wood, a chest of drawers can accommodate knickknacks and other important paraphernalia like bills, receipts, or personal items. A chest of drawers may conveniently store all such items, away from view, thereby contributing to a clutter-free look. Check out online furniture stores for really beautiful and one-of-a-kind pieces.Even a small apartment unit that’s cozy and minimalist, but fully stamped with the occupant’s personal touch of eclectic elegance, may look nicer using a mini chest. For the living room of a bachelor’s pad with an area rug and basic items like a chair, lamp and table (where wood and plastic, metal and fabric, and subdued colors of red and gray may creatively mix well), a chest of drawers adds visual appeal. A serpentine-fronted chest of drawers in mahogany with shaped bracket feet, exuding the craftsmanship of gifted cabinetmakers of yore, is perfect for a homeowner who likes to surround himself with things that bring inspiration.
