One of the very first considerations when choosing your chest of drawers is size. The size you choose will largely depend on how big the room is and what you need the chest of drawers for. If your room is on the smaller side then choose a tall, slim chest of drawers that makes use of space vertically and doesn’t stick out too far from the wall. Do bear in mind that slim chests can be narrow so be sure to check the width so you’re drawers are suitable for what you intend to store in them. If you’re choosing drawers for a child’s bedroom or playroom then the height will be a key consideration. A low chest of drawers will be easier to reach allowing independence. Be sure to secure the drawers to the wall to prevent any accidents.

A stylish chest of drawers can add a stunning focal point to your bedroom, particularly in a room where there are built in wardrobes and few other furnishings. The top of the drawers is of course a great place to display pictures, or to keep some small dishes for placing your jewellery, coins and keys in at the end of the day. Equally, you might decide to tuck your drawers into a shady corner, helping you to squeeze every last inch of storage out of a small room.
