Even when wardrobes include storage, a separate bedroom chest of drawers often makes the room function better. A wide unit balances the height of the taller furniture and prevents the room from feeling top-heavy. In many layouts, an 8 drawer chest of drawers becomes the workhorse of the home. It holds accessories and everyday items that shouldn’t be hidden away in a deep cupboard.

A black 6 drawer chest tends to ground the room visually. It acts as an anchor beneath mirrors or artwork. Lower horizontal furniture makes rooms feel wider and provides surfaces for lamps without adding clutter to the bedside.
