The chest was a basic piece of bedroom furniture around the world. This functional piece adds storage capacity while also providing a photo display area and a home for trinkets and so on. Over the years however, this piece has fallen into a little routine as far as the design is concerned. It just seems now to be a little, what can you say bored. There are alternatives to these boring pieces of bedroom furniture that can add some style and elegance at the same time serve the purpose of storage. Here are some ideas on variations.
The lingerie chest is a tall, narrow set of drawers that is ideal for a piece of extra storage or for those who only require minimal storage. This chest normally has seven drawers stacked one above the other, seven drawers representing the days of the week, a variation on the Wellington chest if you like. While the lingerie chest was designed to store undergarments and such it can serve many other purposes. Thanks to its slim and compact design, the chest is ideal for rooms with limited space such as bedrooms and smaller rooms.
Another option is the somewhat bizarrely named mule chest. The mule chest has a standard configuration, really, but it is often defined by a small square storage area with a door instead of a drawer. This area of the door can be set to the centre of the piece or in one of the top corners. This configuration leads to the piece that has a few drawers of different sizes and gives a bit of an antique or handmade look, this style is nicely suited to a distressed finish. Mule chests are usually larger than standard chests and they can work well in the living room as well as the bedroom.
Finally, a media cabinet could be just the job to organize your CDs and video games, or to house the TV or even a computer. Like the mule chest, there is no set design for the cabinet of the media, it is often referred to as an AV cabinet these styles of cabinets have perhaps the most diverse range of materials.
