It is important that the chest of drawers is not only a piece of utilitarian furniture, but also reflects the character of the residents and is an extension of our personality. Therefore, if you have a boho-style living room, you should decorate the chest of drawers with natural accessories. In the Scandinavian style, for example, white chests of drawers and natural materials will work well, while in a glamorous living room or a living room decorated in a modern style, a wooden chest of drawers with lockable cabinets and decorative handles will perfectly fit in.

Choosing the right decoration for your living room chest of drawers can be difficult given the variety of options. However, it is important to match the decorations to the nature of the arrangement in a given interior. This means that decorations should harmonize with the aesthetics and atmosphere of the space.

If the living room is decorated in a glamorous style , it is worth choosing luxurious elements, such as metallic photo frames, richly decorated vases or crystal decorations. Metallic lanterns with bright candles will add elegance, and a mirror in a decorative frame will visually enlarge the space.

In a loft living room, raw and modern decorations, such as abstract sculptures, vases made of stone or concrete-like materials, will work better. A table lamp with a raw finish may also be a good solution. Posters or graphics above the chest of drawers will add character to the space.

What about the Scandinavian style? In a Scandinavian living room, it is worth choosing simplicity and natural accessories, such as candles, minimalist lamps and a wooden mirror. Additionally, potted plants and woven covers will add a cozy atmosphere to the interior. The situation will be even different in a boho arrangement, where there should be numerous plants, woven decorations and fabric mirrors or macrame.

Where to place the chest of drawers in the living room?

Before you start arranging the chest of drawers in the living room, it is important to determine its location. Choosing the right place depends on the layout of the room and the number of other furniture or decorations. If there is a corner sofa with a sleeping function in the living room, make sure that placing the chest of drawers will not block the drawers from opening after unfolding the sofa. The most common solution is to press the furniture against the wall and place it in the side part of the room. However, there is no obstacle to displaying an impressive chest of drawers in the central part of the living room, for example opposite a U-shaped corner. In this case, you can place a bookshelf and an armchair next to it, creating a pleasant relaxation zone.

In living rooms connected to dining rooms, low furniture can help maintain cohesion between different areas. Placing the chest of drawers against the wall connecting the kitchen and the living room will eliminate the visual boundary between them. Designers often offer furniture sets, so you can complement the arrangement with a matching display cabinet or a low table in the same style. In the case of apartments with standard-sized windows, the chest of drawers can be placed next to the windowsill, unless a radiator is installed there.

To prevent the chest of drawers from turning into a storage room, it is worth following a few simple rules. First of all, regularly check your stored items and get rid of unnecessary ones. You can also use organizers and boxes to help keep drawers and shelves tidy.

Let us remember that order and organization are the key to maintaining perfect proportions and style. Thanks to this, our chest of drawers will always look good, and the living room will shine with example and harmony.
