The benefits of matching storage chests

Matching storage chests typically sit at the end of your bed frame and, as the name suggests, are made to match your bed perfectly. They are upholstered in the same material as your bed, so you don’t need to worry about finding the perfect storage chest for your colour scheme.

As well as the aesthetics, one of the main benefits of a storage chest trunk is the storage solutions they offer. You can tuck away extra bedding, shoes and clothes to leave your bedroom tidy and clutter free. This is why storage boxes are a practical solution for houses where space is at a premium, as they offer another place to store your items without taking up much floor space. Finally, our matching storage chests come with a hinged lid, so you can quickly hide away any mess if unexpected guests come to visit.

How big is a storage chest?

Before buying a storage chest it’s important to check you have enough room to accommodate it. Most storage chests have a width of 100-150cm which is in line with the width of an average double bed, meaning it can blend in with your bed frame perfectly.

The average height and depth of a storage chest is 40-50cm tall, so you are sure to be able to fit plenty in your chest storage box.

Where can a storage chest go?

Typically a matching storage chest is placed at the foot of the bed, meaning you can easily grab anything, such as blankets, in the middle of the night. However the options are limitless and it really depends on the space you have available and what you intend to place in your storage chest. For example, if you intend to have a toy storage chest it might be best in the living room or your child’s bedroom. Or if you fill your chest with clothes it might be suited to being nearer the wardrobe.

What can you store in a storage chest?

Again storage chests are a great place to store anything, from clothing to last minute mess. Popular uses for storage chests include housing towels, clothes and bedding, as they make excellent blanket boxes.

Storage trunks and chests also make good toy boxes, as they can fit many toys inside. Using storage chests for your children’s toys also teaches them independence and organisation, as they can easily operate the lid themselves and keep their bedroom neat and tidy.

How to choose your storage chest

When choosing your matching storage chest it’s important to look at the size of the chest and the floor space you have available. While a large storage chest offers extra storage for items, it will also make a small room look more crowded, so choose accordingly and consider how much you are likely to place inside the chest.

Lastly, it’s obviously important to look at the décor and colour of your bedroom furniture and match accordingly. For example, consider whether you’d like a vintage storage chest or something a little more modern.
