We can do without many things, but an interior without a cabinet or a chest of drawers? That's virtually impossible! They are incredibly practical – they'll hide away what we want to tuck out of sight, and from the outside, they'll be adorned with a beautiful vase or sentimental trinkets. Browse our latest suggestions and find the piece of furniture you're looking for.

A Tidy Living Room – Choosing a Stylish Chest of Drawers

It might seem that a chest of drawers is just like any other piece of furniture. You know, four legs, a few drawers, nothing out of the ordinary. Yet, it holds almost magical abilities! Despite its modest size, it will hold everything we used to put from pillar to post. It will organise documents, books, and family photos. What's more, when we fancy a slight change in arrangement, we can easily move it to another spot.

A chest of drawers is a practical piece of furniture that should be a staple in every living room.

The elegant Kabino chest of drawers is equipped with six drawers. Its versatile design will fit in perfectly with both traditional and modern interiors. It pairs beautifully with other furniture from its range. It will create a superb duo with a narrower but taller chest from the same collection.

You can place a lamp or your favourite trinkets on a stylish console table. This piece of furniture, although inspired by a bygone era, suits any interior. Wherever it finds itself, it will impress with its classic design combined with a touch of luxury.

The white high Yeh console table captivates with its simplicity and functionality. It will perfectly serve as a side table, on which you can place, for example, a cup of tea. It will also be an ideal spot to create your own mini-gallery of family photos.

The living room cannot be without one more piece of furniture – the smallest, yet by no means the least important. A magazine rack, for that is what we have in mind, should stand by the armchair or next to the sofa – where you most often relax. You can easily match its form to the interior decor. We assure you, there's plenty to choose from!

Storage... on the go, meaning boxes and containers!

"Mobile" storage can refer to all containers, baskets, and boxes that, unlike shelving units or wardrobes, are easy to move from place to place. They are light, spacious, and compact, and often serve as a decorative element.

  1. Storage boxes – here you'll find boxes with lids and regular shapes, which allow them to be stacked. Round boxes are very popular and have a decorative character.
  2. Storage containers – usually a bit smaller than boxes and not always equipped with lids. However, they have a very decorative character, so it's worth placing them in visible spots. Plastic containers are the most practical.
  3. Storage baskets – for storage in Scandinavian and industrial style! The most popular are wicker, rattan, and seagrass baskets, i.e., woven baskets. However, they face strong competition from metal baskets, i.e., wire baskets.
  4. Storage chests – rustic, evoking a cosy grandma's house. Wooden chests are particularly popular. All kinds of chests are an excellent way to store fruits, vegetables, and jars of preserves.

What about the Bedroom?

The most important piece of furniture in the bedroom should, of course, be the bed. So, let's not snatch its crown by placing a sizable cabinet next to it. In the bedroom, small bedside tables will work much better.

Place a small bedside table next to the bed – just right for a lamp and an alarm clock.

A bedside table with a drawer will hold everything we want to have at hand in the evening and in the morning. One equipped with a soft-close system will be an absolute dream for the bedroom.

For all minimalism enthusiasts, we suggest the stylish Prince Aha stool. On its top, we'll place at most a bedside lamp. This time, however, less is more – the tablet and phone will stay in the living room, where they belong.

The Ghost Buster collection features furniture designed with lovers of innovative solutions in mind. So, meet... transparent bedside tables where nothing can be hidden!

If, however, the classic style is closer to your heart, take a look at the Havn cabinet from the Oslo collection by Borcas. Norwegian simplicity and discreet elegance – perhaps that's exactly what you're looking for?

Tidy Desk, Tidy Mind

Space in offices, especially small ones, is currently a luxury commodity. A large number of documents, essential items for daily work, plus several colleagues – and suddenly it's a tight squeeze. Now we are just a step away from chaos and clutter, which unfortunately doesn't foster clarity of mind. To work pleasantly and efficiently, let's ensure order in the office. How to do it?

Modular shelving systems, such as the Elysee shelves, are an excellent solution, from which you can create furniture tailored to your needs and the amount of space you have at your disposal.

A modular shelving system allows you to create furniture of any shape and size.

For documents and binders, we recommend the modular Work shelving unit. Its design allows you to mount shelves at any height. You can also expand it by purchasing open modules.

Every desk will certainly benefit from a small wall organiser – pens will finally stop disappearing! The office also can't do without at least one lockable cabinet, where you can store the most important documents or small electronic equipment. We suggest the tall and spacious Theca cabinet.

Chests of Drawers, Shelving Units, Shelves - Universal Furniture

Classic or modern, small and large – cabinets and chests of drawers will easily adapt to any interior. They are grateful pieces of furniture that are a feast for the eyes, while at the same time looking after order and tidiness.
