A low chest of drawers can be an attractive option for children and adults too. They dont take up much wall space so you can place shelves and shelving units above them. They will usually also be much wider than a regular chest, making them perfect for blankets and other larger or bulkier items. Some sit flat on the floor which maximises space and avoids a build-up of dust underneath.

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
