How Do I Choose the Right Size Chest of Drawers for My Room? | Home Store UK
When it comes to creating a well-organised and visually appealing bedroom, storage plays a crucial role — and one of the most versatile furniture pieces you can invest in is a chest of drawers. But with so many sizes and styles available, how do you choose the right size chest of drawers for your room?
At Home Store UK, we understand that balancing practicality with design can be challenging. That’s why we’ve put together this guide to help you find the chest of drawers that fits your space, lifestyle, and aesthetic.
Consider Your Room Size and Layout
The first step in selecting the right size chest of drawers is to evaluate the available floor space in your room. Measure the width, depth, and height of the area where you plan to place the furniture. Leave enough space around the chest to allow for smooth drawer operation and easy movement around the room.
Match Storage Needs with Drawer Capacity
Not all chests of drawers are made equal. Some offer four deep drawers, while others may have a combination of shallow and deep compartments. Think about what you intend to store — clothing, accessories, documents, or linens — and select a unit that offers the right mix of drawer sizes.
Finding the right size chest of drawers means balancing visual scale with practical storage. Oversized furniture in a small room can make the space feel cramped, while a small chest in a large room may look out of place.
Blend Function with Style
The right size chest of drawers should not only fit the space physically but also complement your existing furniture and overall decor. Whether you prefer a modern high-gloss finish or a rustic wooden look, your chest should enhance the aesthetic of the room.

Tips for Choosing the Right Size Chest of Drawers
Here are a few quick tips to make sure you’re on the right track:
- Measure Twice, Buy Once: Always double-check room dimensions and available clearance before purchasing. Include wall skirting and door swing in your measurements.
- Think Vertical for Small Rooms: If floor space is limited, consider a tall, narrow design that provides vertical storage without overwhelming the room.
- Use It as a Dual-Purpose Piece: Choose a wide chest of drawers that can double as a dressing table or TV stand to maximise functionality in smaller spaces.
