Chests of Drawers

A chest of drawers is one of the simplest ways to keep your home organised and clutter-free. In bedrooms, drawers provide dedicated space for folded clothes, knitwear, underwear and accessories, making it much easier to grab what you need and go! Elsewhere, they can be used to organise paperwork, children's toys, hobby supplies or household essentials (even those ages-old charging leads you think you might need one day!). Roseland Furniture offers everything from compact 3-drawer chests to spacious 8-drawer designs, giving you plenty of flexibility to organise items by category and make the most of your available storage space. With a wide range of sizes and finishes, it's easy to find a practical solution that also enhances your décor.

Yes! While chests of drawers are a popular choice for bedrooms, they're actually a practical storage solution for almost any room in the home. Use a compact chest in a hallway to store everyday essentials such as keys, hats and scarves, or add one to a living room to organise games, media accessories and paperwork. Many customers also choose a chest of drawers for their guest bedrooms, home offices or nurseries. Roseland Furniture offers a wide selection of styles, from the timeless London Oak collection to contemporary painted oak ranges like Celine, making it easy to find a design that complements every room. With wide, tall and narrow options available, we’ve made it easy for you to maximise your storage options without compromising on style.

Start by measuring the available width, height and depth of your room, remembering to leave enough clearance for the drawers to open comfortably. If you're furnishing a smaller bedroom or apartment, a tallboy or narrow chest offers generous storage while taking up less floor space. Larger bedrooms can accommodate wider designs such as 6-drawer chests, providing plenty of room to store clothing, accessories and all those otherwise wayward household essentials. Roseland Furniture stocks a wide variety of sizes across collections including Farro and Colette, making it easy to find a chest that suits both your storage needs and the proportions of your room.

The decision will really depend on your room layout and storage requirements. A tallboy is ideal for smaller bedrooms where floor space is limited, making use of vertical space while still providing generous storage. Click for more space saving ideas. On the other hand, a wide chest of drawers will have more capacity and additional surface space for lamps, mirrors, photographs or decorative accessories.

Our collection includes a broad choice of finishes to suit every interior style. Choose from classic oak, washed oak, painted finishes in popular colours including white, grey, blue and green, as well as selected dark wood and gloss designs. Whether you're looking for the natural warmth of the London Oak range, the contemporary look of the Celine Washed Oak collection or a modern painted chest that brightens your bedroom, you'll find plenty of options to complement your existing furniture. Many ranges also offer matching wardrobes, bedside tables and dressing tables, allowing you to create a coordinated bedroom.

The finish is important, but there’s a lot more to consider when choosing the right chest of drawers. Read our chest of drawers buying guide for the full checklist, plus handy insights from our team.

Keeping your chest of drawers looking its best is simple with a little regular care. Dust frequently using a soft, dry cloth to prevent dirt and debris from building up.

For painted finishes, gently wipe the surface with a soft cloth, taking care to avoid abrasive cleaning products that could damage the paint. Wooden and oak finishes can be cleaned using a slightly damp cloth before drying immediately with a clean, dry cloth to prevent moisture from soaking into the wood.

Avoid using harsh chemicals, silicone-based polishes or abrasive cleaners on any finish. If your drawers begin to feel stiff over time, applying a small amount of candle wax to the runners can help them glide more smoothly. Avoid placing your furniture in direct sunlight or next to radiators and other heat sources and wipe up any spills straightaway to prevent staining or water damage. Feel free to contact our staff if you have any questions or need more detailed maintenance advice.
