Chests of Drawers

We have a wide range of chests of drawers and double dressers to suit every home and style preference. From our bestselling Barcelona collection with its timeless oak warmth, to the sophisticated Madrid range (with our customer favourite cashmere finish that's simply irresistible), through to the contemporary May and elegant Naia collections, each piece has been carefully curated to bring Scandinavian beauty into your everyday living.

Whether you need generous storage for folded knitwear and linens or a statement piece that anchors your bedroom design, our chest of drawers delivers both practicality and aesthetic appeal. Each drawer glides effortlessly, each handle feels substantial in your palm, and each piece becomes part of your daily ritual rather than mere furniture.

What Is a Chest of Drawers?

A chest of drawers is a freestanding piece of bedroom furniture featuring multiple horizontal drawers stacked vertically, designed specifically for storing folded clothing, linens, and personal belongings.

Unlike wardrobes which accommodate hanging garments, chest of drawers excel at organising items that fold beautifully, from cosy jumpers and soft cotton tees to seasonal accessories. They typically range from 3 to 8 drawers, offering versatile storage that adapts to your lifestyle whilst maintaining a compact footprint perfect for bedrooms of any size.

What Is a Double Dresser?

A double dresser (sometimes called a wide chest of drawers) features two columns of drawers side by side, creating a wider, lower profile compared to a traditional tall chest of drawers. Typically measuring over 100cm in width, double dressers offer the same storage capacity as taller designs whilst providing a generous top surface perfect for displaying mirrors, lamps, or decorative pieces.

They're particularly popular for shared bedrooms where couples can each claim a vertical column of drawers, making morning routines beautifully harmonious rather than chaotic.

How Deep Is a Chest of Drawers?

Standard chest of drawers typically measure between 40-50cm in depth, providing ample space for folded clothing without protruding excessively into your bedroom. This depth comfortably accommodates folded jumpers, jeans, and shirts whilst maintaining easy access to items at the back of each drawer.

Our Scandinavian-inspired designs at Boca Living thoughtfully balance depth with functionality, ensuring drawers aren't so deep that items become lost and forgotten, yet spacious enough to store seasonal bedding or bulkier winter woolens when needed.

What to Put on Top of a Chest of Drawers?

The top surface of your chest of drawers offers wonderful opportunities for personal expression and practical display. Consider positioning a statement lamp for ambient evening lighting, framed photographs that make you smile each morning, or a small tray corralling daily essentials like watches, jewellery, or fragrances.

Potted plants bring life and connection to nature, whilst decorative boxes beautifully conceal smaller items. Our Madrid cashmere finish particularly complements warm metallic accents and natural greenery, creating vignettes that feel curated yet effortlessly lived-in.
