How a Retro Chest of Drawers can transform your house

Behold the chest of drawers with a colorful history behind it. Among an array of decorative pieces for your home, a storage chest - whether formal, vintage-inspired, painted or stained - can serve as an accent piece that creates an interior travelogue of lands far away.



Long used as a storage place for valuables, a chest of drawers dating to the 1700s or 1800s mirrors the skill of village furniture makers centuries ago. You'd be awed at the earliest piece of American colonial furniture falling under the William and Mary (named after Mary Allyn, the secretary of the colony's daughter), or the more decorated styles during the Queen Anne era, or the Chippendale versions from 1750 to 1780.



There are proud antique chest owners who may had the luck to find such furniture items while trailing through the woods in some shed or abandoned spot. Yet there are individuals who are avid collectors of unique items for the home who really search and participate in auctions to find the ultimate prize, like a Hadley chest of drawer originating from the 1700s. Robust and beautiful, a Hadley drawer in pine or oak had been a furniture item that a young woman brought to her new abode when she settled into married life. In the contemporary age, a Hadley drawer with an antique finish offers a warm and cozy feel suited for a rustic vacation home or country-inspired family house.



Opt for a retro-inspired chest that echoes the era of the earliest furniture craftsmen. Take your pick from a charming selection of simple to artful to unusual decorative and functional storage chests and accent pieces available in online furniture stores.

Whether you're fond of contemporary Italian style furniture and would like to add an elegant chest in white gloss color, or thinking of something unique, the options are plentiful. Check out three-drawer chests in glossy beige which can be a stand-alone piece or placed next to another furniture item in the bedroom.

The drawer opens in super smooth fashion and can perfectly accentuate the living room or bedroom.
