You will have a lot of space where you can store all kinds of little things. Everything will be neatly folded, located in one place and, if necessary, will be at hand.

The baskets in the bathroom are very convenient to use for storing laundry before washing.
Using a chest in a modern interior
Previously, all houses had chests among furniture. In the interior of the bedroom they performed the function of a closet - convenient for storing things, spacious and give the room an unusual look. An ancient chest was used a long time ago as a bench and a table, it was quite large in size and also very heavy. The fashion for chests in the interior turned out to be cyclical, and now you can again notice these venerable elements of furniture in modern houses.
Where to put the chest?
It is better to install a chest in the bedroom’s interior at the foot of the bed, store in it those things that did not fit in dressers, wardrobes (voluminous blankets, pillows, etc.) or you can put it under the window.
In the kitchen, he can also be of much use. It can store items of kitchen utensils, tablecloths, napkins. If you like and appreciate good wine, it might be worth creating a bar (a liquor store) from the chest. Such a unique bar is useful for organizing gatherings and fun parties.
The chest in the interior of the living room, as a rule, is placed near a sofa or upholstered furniture and is used to store things that are very rarely needed in everyday life.
From the chest you can create a coffee or coffee table. It is convenient to organize a small buffet for guests with a variety of snacks and drinks.
The use of a chest in the interior of a children's room decorated in a nautical or pirate theme will be very effective. It can be used as a storehouse for treasures (because for children their toys are a valuable treasure). This will be a great joy for your child, and he will not leave toys in a mess around the room, but will safely hide them in his store.
The chest in the modern interior of the hallway is not always appropriate due to lack of space, but if you had a desire to put it in this room, and your room allows you to do this, you can put things in it that did not fit in the closets.
The use of chests is possible in the following styles:
- vintage
- country;
- retro;
- Provence
- Art Nouveau;
- classic.
The old chest in the interior of the given styles has differences. In the style of vintage and country, an object that has scuffs (even intentional) is used, and for retro, you need to purchase a well-restored antique chest. It is better to use additional accessories to give style and comfort.
Boxes, baskets, containers and chests will be a valuable acquisition that will bring revitalization to the interior. Applying these things in decorating your home, you can not only rationally use the space, but also add individuality and originality to the appearance, add comfort and coziness to the room.
