An essential furniture element that is present in almost every home is a chest of drawers. Tall or short, wide or more like a bar, it is useful in all its shapes and sizes. But when choosing those, it is necessary to take into account the dimensions of your apartment, its interior and other nuances. And if it is done correctly, then such furniture will serve you for more than a decade, will be an excellent decorative addition and decoration of the house.
Choosing any furniture elements, it is first of all necessary to take into account the dimensions of the apartment. Many of us are owners of large areas, so the chest of drawers is the most suitable option. Due to the fact that all the boxes are located one above the other, most of the space remains free. In such a “closet” a large number of things can be located, it can be used instead of a mezzanine, and shoes can be stored in the lower drawers.
A chest of drawers is rather a practical choice, since it does not have much in common with the model of furniture that was invented many centuries ago in Europe. On it you can no longer hold, as if on a coffee table, books and newspapers, vases with flowers, toys and souvenirs. On the contrary, it becomes a place to store things not of first need, as well as those items that must be hidden from the child.
Despite all its practicality, a high chest of drawers can also be made in a certain style. Its handles can have a different shape, the walls of the boxes and sidewalls can be inlaid with patterns, forging or even precious metals and stones. Such a furniture element is made in the old style, baroque or in the spirit of romanticism - at will.
The only thing that such a cabinet could not borrow from its “ancestors” is the legs. Curved and thin supports cannot support the large, most often uneven load. Based on this, as a rule, dressers are equipped with low (up to 3 centimeters in height) and wide legs, which are located on all four sides of the bottom. In this case, the furniture stays steady in its place, and you can safely hold any things and household items in it.
Most often used high dressers for linen. They can be located in the bedroom or in the dressing room, if the meter allows. It is in the boxes located one above the other that it is most convenient to store things that you use not so often. Also, such furniture is ideal for shoes - shoes and boots of an individual family member can be located in each individual drawer.
Another thing is a chest of drawers high and wide. Such a furniture unit will look good in a large house, where there is no need to save free space. Of course, in a wide chest of drawers, the height of which exceeds 1.5 meters, you can put everything you want. But most importantly - it can be placed in the living room, and even in the lobby.
Of course, regardless of the parameters of the dresser, its shade, inlay and silhouette are chosen. It is important that all the elements of its decoration coincide with the style of your home, do not come to the fore, but do not get lost against the background of more winning and bright furniture elements.
