I adore designing case pieces and love the versatility of chests…they can be used in virtually every room.

- Today, you may be buying a chest to store your clothing; but tomorrow, this same piece may be parked in the dining room and used as a buffet.
- Chests are great for hallways - place one near the front door to be used as a catch-all for your keys or position one down a long corridor to showcase a fabulous piece of art.
- Arrange a chest against an odd-sized wall or to use it to add life to a desolate corner.

Buy high-quality with clean lines…if/when your décor changes a few years down the road, you can change the finish and/or hardware for a fresh, new look. My advice to you: if you buy one piece of furniture this year, make it a chest!
