Children's chest of drawers: how to choose?

In a child's room, the presence of storage furniture is absolutely essential in order to organize all their belongings, from the earliest age. Indeed, it's from the return from the maternity ward that the baby will need to store their little things, even if they're not really using their room yet. Therefore, the children's chest of drawers is the most often recommended piece of furniture. Practical and aesthetic, the bedroom chest of drawers can also adapt to the child's evolution, which makes it a particularly clever piece of furniture appreciated by parents.

Why choose a chest of drawers for a child's room?

In a child's room, there are several possibilities for storage. You can opt for a wardrobe of course to hang clothes and also store folded linen. Most often, it's the children's bedroom chest of drawers that will complement everything or be preferred by parents. Indeed, it takes up little space and offers great storage capacity. Thus, regardless of the available space in the room, the installation of a small chest of drawers can always be considered.

Moreover, drawers are very practical storage for young children. They allow easy storage of bodysuits and other clothes, as well as diapers and products needed at changing time. It is therefore not surprising that the 3-drawer chest is the most often proposed piece of furniture by brands for furnishing a child's room.

The adaptable chest of drawers: to adjust to the child's rhythm

While there are different possibilities for children's chests of drawers, the adaptable chest of drawers is undoubtedly the smartest and most durable solution. When we talk about an adaptable chest of drawers, it's a children's chest of drawers on which it's possible to install a dedicated changing top. The chest of drawers then becomes a changing table with integrated storage. This solution is highly appreciated by parents for several reasons:

  • Practical: It allows having everything necessary for changing within reach in the drawers under the changing top.
  • Space-saving: It avoids buying a children's chest of drawers in addition to a changing table, which helps preserve space in the room.
  • Durable: It allows for long-term use compared to the changing table which will ultimately be used for a very short time.

For example, our VINTAGE 3-drawer chest is an adaptable chest of drawers. It can be purchased alone, but you can also opt for the changing top from the same collection. If we're talking about a vintage chest of drawers here, it's because its design recalls the chests of drawers from the 50s with the conception of a modern piece of furniture. This walnut chest of drawers is one model among many others that we offer you to discover in an adaptable format.

How to properly organize a chest of drawers?

Once the chest of drawers is installed, there are many tips for organizing its interior. Indeed, large drawers are very practical, but they can quickly become messy if you're not careful, especially with children's tiny belongings.

Our advice? Opt for felt organizers that will allow you to compartmentalize the inside of the drawers. This way, you can separate long-sleeved t-shirts from short-sleeved ones, trousers, shorts, etc. At a glance, you'll have no trouble finding what you're looking for. This type of storage accessory is now very easy to find both in stores and online, and is very useful for both children's and adult chests of drawers.

What decor to put on a child's chest of drawers?

For decoration, the chest of drawers has the advantage of presenting a nice space on the top surface. You can thus add decorative touches to further personalize your child's room. Several options are possible depending on your preferences such as:

  • Frames
  • Plants
  • Beautiful toys
  • Boxes or small storage baskets
  • A table lamp

You can also occupy the wall space above the chest of drawers by hanging a framed poster or a mirror for example. Take advantage of this space to further decorate the room and involve your child by letting them choose the objects they want to put there.

Opt for a chest of drawers that matches the other furniture in the room!

If you like matching furniture for your child's room, it is entirely possible to opt for a children's chest of drawers that matches the bed or wardrobe. For this, you can choose what is called a complete bedroom set. This is a set of furniture usually including a chest of drawers, a wardrobe, and a child's bed. It is entirely possible to settle for just buying a chest of drawers and a bed, or a chest of drawers and a wardrobe. It's up to you to decide what best suits the room you are furnishing.

Preferably opt for adaptable furniture with an adaptable chest of drawers, but also an adaptable bed. This is a cot that you can transform into a child's bed. In this way, the furniture becomes even more durable over time, just like the chest of drawers. You thus have the possibility of getting a complete bedroom set when your baby is born, and you won't have to replace the furniture for several years.
