Chest of drawers decorations for the living room what is worth putting on it?
The right arrangement of a chest of drawers helps to build the desired atmosphere in the living room. The top of this piece of furniture is an ideal base for ornaments and decorations that tell more about the inhabitants than any words can. What should guide the choice of accessories and how best to position them so that they please the eye, complementing the décor?
Narrow and high or low and wide, with drawers or cupboards. Whatever dresser you have in your living room, it can be an effective eye-catcher. Carefully selected decorations can discreetly emphasise the character of a piece of furniture or completely transform it. It is worth exploiting this potential when decorating the heart of the home.
What we place on the chest of drawers and hang above it will not only influence the appearance of the living room, but also our mood when staying there. Unique decorations will improve our mood on a daily basis and provide an excuse for interesting conversation when guests visit. Once we have comfortably organised the items inside the dresser, let's also take care of its surroundings. We suggest how to enhance the charm of this piece of furniture with thoughtful decorations.
CHEST OF DRAWERS DECORATIONS FOR THE LIVING ROOM - HOW TO CHOOSE THEM?
A chest of drawers has more than one name. Its role in the living room can also be that of a buffet, sideboard or bar. If the piece of furniture has open shelves, we should take their contents into account when choosing decorations for the top. To avoid the impression that there are random objects on the top, it is advisable to think carefully about their selection. It is best to start planning an arrangement from the ground up, i.e. from the chest of drawers itself. This is because a distinctive piece of furniture is a strong accent piece in itself and does not need many accessories to create interest.
Minimalist pieces such as the Simple chest of drawers with discreet handles offer the greatest freedom. Thanks to the LED light bar, which lights up when the top drawer is opened, finding the small items you need is extremely easy. Only your favourite items can then be displayed on the tabletop.
The background is also an extremely valuable inspiration. We are talking about the background in the form of the wall behind the chest of drawers and the decorations present on it. If the space is lined with wallpaper or patterned Kerradeco panels, it is worth leaning towards large and plain ornaments that will have a chance to be noticed. If, on the other hand, there is a gallery of posters or paintings hanging above the tabletop, an interesting treatment would be to allude to the colours contained in them by means of colourful pots.
When choosing decorations for the chest of drawers for the living room, it is also important that they fit harmoniously into the overall arrangement. The balance will be maintained by choosing raw materials and shades that are already present in the interior. For example, the braided Pajo organisers can be matched with the Jute Natural rug on the floor and the two-tone Store lamp can be matched with the photo frame on the wall, which also combines a wooden décor with black.
When decorating the dresser, let's also keep the dynamism of the arrangement in mind. Our eyes like contrasts. Let the objects standing next to each other have different sizes and textures, making the composition full of life. A plant with silky leaves should be placed in a matt ceramic cover, while a glass vase should be combined with a wooden tray. Also remember to place some ornaments closer and some further away from the edge of the tabletop. Don't be afraid to combine objects of different shapes. Also pay attention to the proportions of the accessories in relation to the furniture or wall they are placed next to. By keeping in mind the consistency with the living room décor, we can conjure up an arrangement for the dresser that is hard to take your eyes off.
NATURE ON YOUR SIDE - THE CHEST OF DRAWERS AS A BASE FOR PLANTS
When we think about what to put on the chest of drawers in the living room, our thoughts often turn to green tenants. It is always a good idea to introduce pots into the interior. For plants not only improve our mood, but also the microclimate in the room. The wide range of accessories means that we can match the perfect pot to the top of any chest of drawers. The Nime ceramic cover with a geometric pattern will perfectly emphasise the character of a modern piece of furniture, while the Ligo stoneware cover, whose greenery will form a coherent whole with the leaves, will make a calm companion for fronts in a juicy shade.
Do not be afraid to juxtapose pots of different sizes and colours. A controlled eclecticism will emphasise the variety of plant species that will be invited to the chest of drawers. To make the composition more dynamic, we can place a small specimen on top of a stack of books.
If we do not have enough time or desire to look after an entire jungle, this does not mean that we have to give up on natural decoration. The Nuo wooden greenhouse will allow us to impressively display a small collection of succulents that will not require much attention from us. A single plant will also look great surrounded by ornaments that do not require sprinkling. All that is required is for its "dwelling" to blend in harmoniously with the other items. In this way, the House Nordic green pet cover will add an elegant touch to the living room, placed next to the black dresser lamp and the low Aria trinket bowl.
An alternative that will pass the test in any living room is a vase of fresh flowers. Their enchanting scent will make us reluctant to leave the room. If you choose a vessel with an unusual colour or shape, it will decorate your dresser on its own. This is a great solution for those who don't like monotony. Because every few days you can introduce a different bouquet to freshen up the living room décor.
LIGHT AND ART: A CHEST OF DRAWERS FULL OF INSPIRATION
Objects of sentimental value will also help to create an interesting dresser arrangement. Souvenirs from holidays will evoke pleasant memories for the household members and arouse questions from guests. A tasteful sculpture or figurine will never fail to make us think, as will a frame with an inspiring photograph. Remember that paintings and photographs do not have to hang above the furniture. We can just as well place them on the tabletop so that they lean against the wall.
Such an artistic composition should be enriched with accessories of a practical nature. A minimalist clock and a Haga glass lamp with a dark lampshade will go perfectly with the black-framed graphic. Linerio slatted panels in a shade matching the interior decors provide a stylish backdrop to the balanced arrangement. Aromatic candles on a tray or in a candle holder complete the cosy atmosphere.
STYLISH AND PRACTICAL - FUNCTIONAL ACCESSORIES FOR THE CHEST OF DRAWERS
The objects displayed on the chest of drawers do not have to fulfil an exclusively decorative role. The top of the chest of drawers can also be used for storing favourite books and useful accessories. All we need to do is arrange our books in a clever way and organise small items in an aesthetically pleasing container or box.
Instead of arranging part of our home library in an even row, let's create an original composition with it. Some titles can be vertically and others horizontally. A stack of magazines of similar thickness will be the perfect base for a glazed Jewel container, in which to display jewellery or stones and shells, brought back from the beach. Trinkets can also take up residence in the Luna stoneware container with a sealed lid to protect the contents from dust.
What else can be placed on the dresser next to the books? The composition will be effectively differentiated by a tall lamp, creating an additional point of light in the living room. A large graphic, leaning against the wall, will also improve the proportions. A particularly interesting effect will be achieved if it refers to the character of the displayed books. There could hardly be a better backdrop for a collection of detective novels than a mysterious photograph of a misty forest. Design magazines, on the other hand, will appreciate the company of abstract art.
MINIMALIST DRESSER ARRANGEMENT IN THE LIVING ROOM
Sometimes less is more. It is worth bearing this in mind when planning the dresser arrangement in your living room. Instead of introducing a multi-level composition, you might as well opt for expressive accents in a limited number. Thus, the openwork Kadr lantern can be placed at one edge of the tabletop and the compact and elegant Arran diffuser at the other. The simple forms will create a neat impression, while the varied textures will guarantee an original effect.
A COHERENT LIVING ROOM, OR WHAT TO HANG OVER THE CHEST OF DRAWERS
Gaining an extra level of design will help us with the wall behind the chest of drawers. If our piece of furniture is wide, we can use this space to create an impressive photo gallery. Arrange the frames of varying sizes so that the entire composition fits within the boundaries set by the tabletop. An alternative to numerous photographs is a single image of considerable size. It would also be interesting to attach decorative plates using handy hangers.
Practical objects are also worth considering as an answer to the question of what to hang above the chest of drawers in the living room. Above the narrow piece of furniture, a Bosa mirror with an interesting organic shape will look great. Looking at it will make it easier to recall warm thoughts. The character of the wooden chest of drawers will be perfectly emphasised by the minimalist Istanbul clock, hung near it. Thanks to it, relaxation will not drag on until an hour that would make it impossible to sleep. The arrangement can also be enriched with a wall lamp, wrapping the tabletop in a soft glow.
A CHEST OF DRAWERS THAT DECORATES THE INTERIOR ON ITS OWN
Not everyone likes to surround themselves with a large number of objects. Removing them from the countertop every time we want to tidy up can be a nuisance. It also happens that we find looking at empty spaces and smooth surfaces the best rest for our eyes. However, this does not mean that we have to give up interesting accents in the living room.
A great alternative to numerous accessories is an original chest of drawers, which in itself is a decoration of the interior. An original piece of furniture can be as eye-catching as an interesting painting. Leather handles, golden legs, or maybe fronts in a muted orange shade? With the innovative Creative system, in just a few steps we can design a chest of drawers that will fit perfectly into our living room décor. An additional advantage is that you can decide on the furniture's dream interior layout.
A unique chest of drawers will not need many accessories to make us feel better. The charm of the elegant shape will be perfectly emphasised by the Bruni vase made of brown glass. Its unobvious shape makes it equally suitable as a solo piece or in the company of fresh flowers or dried sprigs. So we will be able to postpone a visit to the flower market without worrying about the living room décor.
It goes without saying that it is best to relax in a room that suits your own taste. Even if you have a small living room, with the help of decoration you can create a dreamlike atmosphere. Use the top of a chest of drawers and the wall above it. When deciding on the elements of such an arrangement, bear in mind the dominant motifs in the living room. Wood, glass, ceramic or metal perhaps? It is only up to us how we add expressiveness to one of the most important pieces of furniture in this representative interior.
