FROM SUCH GREAT HEIGHTS: WHAT SIZE CHEST OF DRAWERS SHOULD YOU BUY?
Chests of drawers come in a range of sizes and shapes to choose from, and the right size for you all depends on what you intend to store in it. If you’re not sure, try creating a list of all the things you wish to store in it to help you visualise what size might work best.





WHAT’S YOUR TYPE?
The ‘Tall Boy’
One of the most popular chests of drawers, a tall boy is a chest of drawers that usually comes with four or more drawers. This means it offers a lot of storage but takes up minimal floor space—perfect for those smaller rooms or for maintaining a minimalist feel to your space.

WHAT MATERIALS SHOULD YOU CHOOSE?
Lastly, the materials your beautiful chest of drawers is made from can have a huge impact on the vibe and aesthetic of not only your piece but your overall space too. Wood is the most common material used in the construction of chest of drawers—not only does wood work well in both contemporary and traditional interiors, but it’s also sturdy and long-lasting. In terms of colour, darker tones create drama in a minimalist home, while beachy, washed-out hues work well in more classic interiors or for those homes with a sense of Hampton chic.
