The chest of drawers is without doubt THE practical piece of furniture par excellence. Halfway between a console and a sideboard, it's a simple, ergonomic piece of furniture that suits any room. Often quite low, it's not imposing and can be discreet, while still offering plenty of storage capacity. And therein lies the very essence of the chest of drawers: a piece of furniture optimised to hold a maximum of things in a minimum of space.
But therein lies its limit: failing to be a practical piece of furniture, we forget all about the aesthetic aspect. We'll often opt for the basic, white piece of furniture that can be found just about anywhere and blends easily into our interiors. So to break away from the ordinary Swedish home, we give you our tips for creating a bespoke, designer chest of drawers.
Our first tip is to get away from the mundane by avoiding white, or even wooden, furniture that lacks modernity. Opting for black will bring elegance to this simple piece of furniture, and above all provide contrast in rooms that are fairly sober and light. The colour black may seem crude at first, but it's actually a real guarantee of contemporary and design. Add a few colourful decorative elements on top, and your simple, understated chest of drawers will see its place in your interior.
If black hasn't convinced you, you can go for a colour that will bring softness instead: grey. It's a neutral colour that blends perfectly into any room, it'll make a statement without imposing too much. It allows your chest of drawers to stand out while keeping things simple.
Last option on the plain colour side, the bright colour! Choosing a bright colour for your made-to-measure chest of drawers will definitely make it look designer and imposing. Discreet by nature, you often prefer it white so that it blends in with the rest of the room, but on the contrary, give it some cachet with intense colours. Dare to use colour on small pieces of furniture, especially when they're in simple, uncluttered rooms, as here painted white with wood parquet flooring, in order to attract attention and make it the strong feature of the room.
Accessorise your chest of drawers with designer handles
Second tip for making your chest of drawers designer: install handles that are out of the ordinary. As we said earlier, a chest of drawers is a simple, practical and effective piece of furniture. If you don't want to venture into plain colours so as not to get tired of them over the years, you can quite easily make a piece of wood and/or white furniture, nothing extravagant. But the aim is to choose original, designer handles in order to bring in light and catch the eye. The advantage of giving your chest of drawers a designer look with handles is that this choice is completely flexible over time: you can change handles at any time with a few taps of the screwdriver, if they are no longer to your taste or if you decide to change the world of your interior.
To bring modernism and design to your chest of drawers, ose alternating colours and textures to give relief. As here, the two-tone effect of the planks adds dynamism to the furniture. Another good idea is to play with the placement of the interior fittings (shelves, drawers, doors...) to create asymmetry in placement and provoke something fresh and new. No linearity, no symmetry, these are the tips for a graphic and design chest of drawers.
