Styling Guide For Light Wooden Chest Of Drawers

Style light wood drawers with neutral backdrops like white, stone, or warm beige to highlight the tone and grain of the timber. Hang a large black-rimmed mirror or soft abstract print above the unit to add contrast without overpowering the space. Decorate with layered ceramics in off-white or terracotta, a sculptural lamp in linen or matte black, and a tray for candles or accessories in natural textures like marble or raffia.

If you’re working with a Scandi or mid-century inspired room, the Geometric Scandinavian Chest of Drawers is a versatile piece with angled legs and panel detailing that complements neutral tones and warm accents effortlessly

What type of wood is best for drawers?

Hardwoods like oak, maple, and walnut are considered the best for drawers because of their durability and structural strength. These woods resist wear and tear, hold joints well, and can last for decades with proper care. For drawer sides and internal panels, engineered wood with quality veneers can also perform well when combined with solid wood frames.

How do I make wooden drawers slide better?

To improve the glide of wooden drawers, apply a dry lubricant like beeswax or a paraffin-based drawer wax to the runners or contact points. Avoid oil-based lubricants, which can attract dust and gum up over time. Also check for swelling or warping caused by humidity, sanding down tight spots can help restore smooth movement.

Where to put chest of drawers in a bedroom?

The ideal spot for a chest of drawers in a bedroom is typically against a blank wall that doesn’t obstruct foot traffic, often opposite or adjacent to the bed. It should be easily accessible, with enough clearance to fully open the drawers. In smaller rooms, a tall chest can go in a corner, while wider units can double as a dressing surface beneath a mirror.

What is the difference between a dresser and a chest of drawers?

A dresser is typically wider and shorter, often with a mirror mounted above or attached, and is designed to hold folded clothes and personal items. A chest of drawers is usually taller and narrower, built for storage in vertical spaces. Both serve similar functions but suit different room layouts and storage needs.
