Chest of Drawers

Find the Perfect Chest of Drawers for Your Home in 2023

Clothes, linen and everyday clutter all need a home, and a made-to-measure chest of drawers gives them one without crowding the room. Our journal has a short guide to choosing the right chest for your space.

Short Summary

Start with what you need to store, measure the wall you have, then pick the line, colour and drawer layout that suit the room.

Choosing the Ideal Chest of Drawers for Your Bedroom

In the bedroom, a chest of drawers does the quiet work: folded clothes below, a lamp or mirror on top. Size it to the wall and the drawers to what goes in them.

Assessing Your Storage Needs

Count what you want to put away before choosing a size — a compact 3 drawer dresser may be plenty, or you may want a wide chest with a dozen drawers.

Colours and materials

Choose from white, black, grey, blue, pink, wooden, yellow, red, beige or burgundy finishes, with veneers in oak or plywood dressers for a natural edge.

Room Size and Layout Considerations

Leave room for drawers to open fully, and in a tight corridor consider a slimmer depth or a chest with doors on part of the front.

Style and Material Choices

Match the chest to the furniture around it — contrasting plywood edges, bold solid colours or flush, handle-free fronts — and set every dimension in the configurator.

Types of Chests for Different Purposes

The shape of the chest decides where it works best. Think about the wall first, then the drawers.

Wide Chests

Low and long, a wide chest sits under a window or a TV and doubles as a sideboard-height surface.

Large Chests

Tall, many-drawer chests make the most of a small footprint, holding a full wardrobe's worth of folded clothes.

Practical Chests

Mix deep and shallow drawers so socks and jumpers each get the space they actually need.

Organizing and Maximizing Your Chest of Drawers

A little planning inside the drawers goes further than a bigger chest.

Drawer Dividers and Organizers

Dividers keep small items from drifting together; our journal collects more ideas for styling a chest of drawers.

Efficient Folding Techniques

File-fold clothes upright so every item is visible when the drawer opens.

Utilizing Top Surface Space

Keep the top for a few things you use daily — a tray, a lamp, a plant — so it stays useful rather than cluttered.

Ensuring Safety and Stability for Your Chest of Drawers

Every IFRSH chest comes with wall-fixing hardware, and tall pieces should always be anchored.

Proper Anchoring Techniques

Use fixings suited to your wall type and attach the chest at the top, especially in children's rooms.

Balancing Drawer Weight

Put the heaviest items in the lowest drawers and open one drawer at a time.

Customizing Your Chest of Drawers for a Personal Touch

Because each piece is made to order, the personal touches start in the configurator.

DIY Paint and Stencil Techniques

Pick a two-tone colour combination instead of repainting later.

Upcycling and Repurposing Ideas

A chest moves easily from bedroom to hallway or living room when your needs change.

Decorative Hardware Options

Choose between visible handles and handle-free fronts to set the look.

Summary
