 Low Chest of Drawers
Chests of drawers came about primarily for the
purpose of storing clothes and linens.
To this day, they continue to function as
storage not only for clothes and linens, but for just
about anything that can fit into them to make one’s
surroundings neat and orderly.
Chests of drawers have grown and developed into
various styles and sizes to suit the needs of their
patrons. In all likelihood, the most versatile of these
is the low chest of drawers. There are no prescribed
exact measurements for it to qualify as low, but it is
common knowledge that a low chest of drawers is normally
waist-high or lower.
Because of its size, it can be conveniently
moved from one living space to another and can be readily
reached by anybody, tall or short.
Low Chest of
Drawers - Great Versatility
The versatility of a low chest of drawers can be
clearly demonstrated in the following
examples:
-
In the bedroom, a short, low chest with
a couple of drawers can double as a bedside
table. A night lamp, a telephone or cellphone,
and/or an alarm clock can be arranged on top of
the chest for easy access while the drawers can
be used to keep your favorite books or magazines,
tissue paper, and other personal
items
-
In a child’s room, a low chest of
drawers can come in handy as a storage for the
child’s toys and game paraphernalia to make the
room look neater. Because the chest is low and
accessible to the child, the child gets the
opportunity to learn to put his things in order
by keeping them inside the chest after
use.
-
In the living room, a hip-high chest of
drawers can serve as a corner or end table, on
top of which can be displayed small decorative
items like vases or figurines. At the same time,
the drawers can function as storage for coasters
or decks of cards.
-
A strong, wide low chest of drawers is
an ideal TV stand while the drawers are a
conducive storage for remote controls, CDs, and
other TV articles.
-
As a sideboard, a long, low chest of
drawers is useful when storing kitchen linens and
tableware while its top can be used for setting
napkins and glasses during buffet
dinners.
-
In a room that is rarely used, hobby
supplies such as sewing materials, rolls of
ribbons, and glue guns can be kept safely, away
from the reach of children.
-
A pair of low chest drawers joined
together in the middle with a life-size mirror
can be a perfect dressing table and a storage for
make-up kits and other cosmetic
items.
-
A very low chest of drawers made of
sturdy material can be used alternatively as a
place to sit on.
-
An elegantly designed low chest of drawers made
of quality wood materials is in itself a piece of
eye-catching decorative furniture that not only brightens
up the room but exudes refinement and
sophistication.
