Chest of Drawers

Shop Chest of Drawers that Bring Order to Busy Homes

Keeping your home organised can feel like an endless task, especially if you have kids. Toys, clothes, and daily essentials quickly pile up, leaving your bedroom and living room looking cluttered.

A chest of drawers gives you the storage space you need to bring order back to your home. From dressers to tallboy designs and lowboys, this versatile piece of furniture offers smart storage solutions while adding style to your space.

Why your home needs a chest of drawers right now

A chest of drawers is one of the hardest-working pieces of furniture you can own. Here’s why:

• Creates instant bedroom storage for clothes, linen, and accessories.
• Works as a stylish surface for décor, lamps, or even a dressing table mirror.
• Offers versatility—use it in the bedroom, dining room, or even as a sideboard in the living room.
• Keeps clutter hidden so your rooms feel calmer and more spacious.
• Available in different sizes, styles, and finishes, so you’ll find one that fits your home perfectly.

What size should a chest of drawers be?

Choosing the right size comes down to your room, storage needs, and style preference. Here's a quick guide:

• Tallboy: Slim and high, it delivers vertical storage without taking up much floor space. Great for compact rooms, shared spaces, or next to wardrobes. It also pairs well with bedheads and bedside tables where floor area is tight.
• Lowboy: Wider and shorter, making it perfect for larger rooms. The top surface is generous, so you can add a mirror or use it as a dressing table.
• Dresser: A wide unit with multiple drawers, often paired with a mirror. They make folding simpler and provide more places to style decor. If you want a broader footprint and easy access for two people, a dresser is a smart choice.

At Amart, you’ll find a wide range. From tall and narrow to wide and spacious designs, we have bedroom storage options to suit every home.

How do I choose the right chest of drawers?

It depends on how you’ll use it and where it will go. Let’s break it down:

Material

Different materials create different looks and levels of durability:

• Wooden chest of drawers. Adds warmth, longer-lasting, and easy to style in Australian homes.
• Engineered wood with veneer or laminate. Easy to clean and easier on the budget, too. A good choice for rentals and family spaces.

Storage needs

Think about what you’ll be storing. If you’re sorting bulky items like blankets, kids’ clothes, or spare linen, go for deeper drawers that can handle the load. If you’re storing accessories, stationery, or office supplies, smaller drawers or split layouts give you better organisation. 

Look at the number of drawers, too. For compact spaces, a chest of 4 drawers keeps things simple. For larger wardrobes and growing families, go bigger with a chest of 5 drawers or more.

Bedroom space

Measure your room and consider how much floor space you can spare. A tallboy works well if you need vertical storage without taking up too much room, while a wide lowboy fits larger bedrooms with more space.

Make sure to keep walkways clear. Place the unit so drawers open without hitting bedheads or side tables. Also consider power points for lamps and chargers, and make sure you can still reach wardrobes easily.

Styles and finishes

Your chest of drawers should also match your existing bedroom furniture. A white chest of drawers works with almost any interior design, while walnut or oak tones bring warmth.

If your interior design leans classic, look for framed fronts, textured finishes, and even rattan weave accents. For a modern touch, look for sleek finishes, matte surfaces, or even handle-free push-to-open drawers.

How do you make a chest of drawers look nice?

A chest of drawers can be practical and stylish at the same time. Here are some easy styling ideas:

• Add a mirror above it to create a dressing table setup.
• Place lamps or décor pieces like vases and photo frames on top.
• Use a tray to group small items together for a neat look.
• Pair with matching bedside tables and bedheads with shelves for a cohesive bedroom storage setup.

Storage ideas beyond the bedroom

A chest of drawers isn’t just for bedrooms. It's a versatile storage unit that also works in your:

• Living room: Use it as a sideboard or to store extra throws, games, or coffee table books.
• Dining room: Perfect for table linen, cutlery, or serving ware, working much like buffets or sideboards. Match it with your dining tables for a more cohesive look.
• Kids’ rooms: Pair with kids’ beds or bunk beds for a practical storage solution
• Home office: Use it as office furniture to file tech, stationery, and spare paper.
• Multi use zones. A lowboy works like a sideboard or fits beside bookcases and buffets.

Keeping it safe

Safety is just as important as style. Always:

• Position your unit on a flat surface and load heavier items down low for stability.
• Use the wall strap or anchoring kit where provided, especially in rooms with kids and pets. If you rent, you can also use removable anchors.
• Leave room to open drawers fully so they do not catch on doors or side tables.
• Avoid placing heavy items on the top if you have kids or pets.
