Everyone knows the chest - a capacious and comfortable box with a lid, the history of which goes back to our distant ancestors, striving for their own comfort. However, it was not very convenient to get something out of a high chest with a deep bottom, so resourceful people came up with the idea of making drawers in it.
And so the idea of a modern chest of drawers was born - an almost indispensable piece of furniture. A chest of drawers is considered appropriate in the interior of almost any room - bedroom, living room, nursery, bathroom, hallway and dressing room. It is only important to choose the right piece of furniture and decorate the space next to it, or rather above it.
It is probably worth mentioning how to use dressers in the interior of any space correctly. Naturally, it is needed to store those things that are needed in a specific room. So, a chest of drawers in the interior of a bedroom most often performs the function of storing sets of bed linen, towels, clothes, etc. Also, often a small chest of drawers with shelves is used as a bedside table - usually these are console tables with drawers on high carved legs.
- in the living room

How to choose a chest of drawers?
Another important aspect the choice of a chest of drawers is considered, or rather its material, color and size. It is important to decide here whether all furniture should be of the same series - from the same material or even a set - or it is possible to use a chest of drawers that is different from all other furniture. Of course, in traditional interiors it is appropriate when all the furniture is included, but if the furniture is dark and massive, it is better to choose a chest of drawers or some other piece of furniture from the same material, but in a lighter color. In general, than less room and the more massive and visually heavier the furniture, the lighter its color should be.
In modern interiors, in order for all the furniture to echo, they choose a two-color option, when one part of the chest of drawers is dark and the other is light. Such a chest of drawers in the bedroom interior looks good with pieces of furniture similar in color: a dark bed and a light wardrobe, two-tone bedside tables, a dark headboard against a light wall, etc.
However, choosing a light color is not always correct. For example, a light chest of drawers in the living room interior, where the rest of the furniture is bright, looks unsuccessful. If a rather specific color of cabinet furniture in the room is chosen, it is better to choose a chest of drawers from the same series or specially paint it after purchase. You can do it yourself, or you can entrust it to professionals who will select the right paint color.
Heavy and massive chests of drawers look interesting in spacious spaces with a minimum of furniture. For example, a massive and simple chest of drawers in the interior of a bedroom or living room in a minimalist style may be the only roomy piece of furniture. Moreover, the location of the chest of drawers also plays a big role in this case: if it stands in the corner and does not catch the eye, you can pay more attention to spaciousness than its decorative function. If he stands in the center and the eye constantly falls on him, it is important to think over the accessories that will be on the chest of drawers.
Those who have a real rare old chest of drawers are, of course, lucky. And others should not despair, because now they create “antique” things that look no worse than really old things, besides, they are more affordable in terms of price. By the way, the old chest of drawers does not always look stylish. in the halls or spacious rooms V classical style its use is appropriate, but in modern conditions small apartments it is better to use compact furniture modern design. You can make an “old” chest of drawers on your own using the decoupage technique, and you can also artificially age any furniture.
We decorate the chest of drawers correctly
In order for a chest of drawers to look beautiful in the interior of a living room or bedroom, it is important to properly arrange the space above it, since it is still usually a low object, and a chest of drawers. In the bedroom, a mirror is usually placed above the chest of drawers, and in the living room - a picture, photograph or panel, but even here it is not so simple.
Decorative elements can be arranged symmetrically or asymmetrically. For example, if you hang a picture or a mirror on the wall right along the axis of symmetry of the dresser, then on both sides of it you can put the same tall lamps (as in the photo above) or candlesticks, vases or caskets. And here it is important that the height decorative elements was the same or slightly more than half the height of the picture or mirror. If the picture or panel is shifted to one of the sides of the chest of drawers, then on the dresser shelf you can put low vases, figurines or other decorative accessories only on one side opposite to the one where the picture is located, or on one side you can put a tall object, and on the other somewhat low.
It is worth noting that the picture or panel itself should be proportionate to the chest of drawers. It is believed that objects located above should be slightly narrower than those below, so you should not choose paintings or photographs that are too large. The same principle goes with the TV above the chest of drawers. Of course, the TV is never perceived as an addition to something, it is an independent accessory, so it can be of any size, but it is still better to have wider things at the bottom. In this case, the room acquires a certain harmony and sophistication. You can pick up a TV that is equal to the width of the dresser, but you need to pay attention to the fact that the TV does not protrude beyond the borders of the dresser on any side.
It is important not to overload the chest of drawers with accessories, especially if the chest of drawers and the wall on which it stands are in contrast to each other. So, on a black glossy chest of drawers against a white wall, you can put a small plate and tall vase or a lamp so that there is dynamics in the interior. Moreover, to create a dynamic interior, it is better that high and low accessories differ greatly in height. Also in such rooms with light walls and black furniture, you can decorate a chest of drawers with accessories of the same color - golden or silver - it will look very stylish. If the wall and chest of drawers the same color, for example, white, it is better to use colored glass accessories.
