What are the benefits of bedside chests?

Bedside chests cleverly combine a bedside table with a chest of drawers. This means you have extra storage solutions with the drawers, but also a place to put your glasses and alarm clock when you wake up. These storage options mean you can keep your bedroom tidy and organised and have another place to store any bits and bobs that you might need before bed, or first thing in the morning, such as medicines, books, or pyjamas.

The different types of bedside chests

Bedside chests come in many different styles and differ mainly by the materials used. For example, the two main types of bedside drawers are fabric or wooden. Fabric chests can be made with different colours of upholstery, velvet or even faux leather. Most fabric bedside drawers are finished off with a glass top, so you won’t damage the surface by placing drinks next to your bed.

Wooden bedside chests can have different wood effects – for example, oak effect drawers. However, our wooden drawers also feature painted wood in a variety of colours. A popular choice is a white bedside chest of drawers, as it will complement any bedroom.

How big is a bedside chest?

Typical bedside chests of drawers will be around 40-50cm wide, 50-60cm high and 35-45cm deep. This means that they will take up very little room. Therefore, you shouldn’t worry if space is at a premium, because these narrow bedside chest of drawers will offer more storage than the space they take up. Also because you’re getting two pieces of furniture in one you know it is a smart investment.

Bedside chests are available with 2 or 3 drawers depending on how much you’d like to store. If you opt for 2 drawers, they will usually be deeper than the 3-drawer option, but offer less options when it comes to categorising your storage.

What style bedside chest should I get?

When choosing your chest of drawers it’s important to consider the existing décor and colour scheme in your bedroom and matching the style of drawers to it accordingly.

For a country cottage style décor, or a rustic interior, wooden drawer units will finish off the look perfectly. For something a littler more modern, consider fabric bedside chests or painted wood.
