Chest of Drawers Buying Guide: Sizes, Styles and Storage

Choosing the Right Size

Chests of drawers range from compact three-drawer units suited to small rooms to larger, wider designs offering significantly more storage. Measure the space available, including clearance for drawers to open fully, before deciding on width.

Matching Style to the Room

Consider whether you want the chest to match an existing wardrobe or bed frame, or to stand out as a feature piece. A mix of drawer depths — shallow drawers for accessories, deeper drawers for jumpers or bedding — tends to be the most practical layout.
