An indispensable piece of furniture 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 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 decades, it will become an excellent decorative addition and home decoration.
When choosing any furniture items, you should first of all take into account the dimensions of the apartment. Many of us are owners of small areas, so a tall chest of drawers would be the most suitable option. Due to the fact that all the drawers 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.
The tall chest of drawers is more of a practical choice, as it has little in common with the furniture model that was invented centuries ago in Europe. On it you can no longer hold, as ifon the coffee table, books and newspapers, flower vases, toys and souvenirs. On the contrary, it becomes a place to store things that are not essential, as well as those items that need to 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 be of various shapes, the walls of drawers and sides 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 wardrobe still could not borrow from its "ancestors" is the legs. A large, most often uneven load cannot be sustained by curved and thin supports. Based on this, as a rule, chests of drawers 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 is stable in its place, and you can safely keep any things and household items in it.
Most commonly used high chests of drawers for linen. They can be located in the bedroom or in the dressing room, if the footage allows. It is in the boxes located one above the other that it is most convenient to store things that you do not use so often. Also, such furniture is ideal for shoes - shoes and boots of an individual family member can be located in each individual drawer.
It's quite another matter - the chest of drawers is tall and wide. Suchthe 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 whatever you want. But most importantly, it can be placed in the living room, and even in the hall.
Of course, regardless of the parameters of the chest of drawers, its shade, inlay and silhouette are selected. It is important that all elements of its decoration match the style of your home, do not come to the fore, but do not get lost against the backdrop of more advantageous and bright furniture elements.
