Chest of Drawers for Australian Bedrooms
A well-chosen chest of drawers is one of the most useful pieces in the bedroom — providing generous storage across multiple drawers while maintaining a composed and uncluttered visual presence. Their lower, wider profile distinguishes them from tallboys and makes them particularly well suited to rooms where a longer horizontal surface is useful for display or everyday items.

Solid Oak and Timber Construction
Our chest of drawers collection focuses on solid oak and quality timber construction — materials selected for their natural warmth, considered grain and long-lasting strength. Oak is one of the most enduring choices for bedroom storage, developing a subtle natural patina over time that adds to the character of the piece rather than diminishing it. The natural tones of timber complement a wide range of bedroom interiors, working particularly well alongside timber bed frames and natural textiles.
Practical Storage for the Everyday Bedroom
A chest of drawers organises the bedroom by giving clothing, accessories and household essentials a dedicated home. Multiple drawers allow different categories of items to be separated and easily found, while the wide surface on top provides a practical display area for a lamp, mirror, tray or personal objects. Thoughtful internal proportions — deep drawers for bulkier items, shallower drawers for accessories — make the piece as functional as it is considered.
Completing the Bedroom
A chest of drawers works naturally alongside a Bed Frame and Bedside Tables in a complementary timber tone or finish. For additional vertical storage, explore our Tallboys as a space-efficient companion piece. Browse our full Bedroom Furniture collection to complete the room.
Frequently Asked Questions
A chest of drawers is wider and lower than a tallboy, offering a broader surface area and a horizontal storage profile suited to rooms where height is not the primary concern. A tallboy is taller and narrower, making it more space-efficient in rooms where floor space is limited. Both provide drawer storage for clothing and bedroom essentials — the choice between them usually comes down to the available wall space and the overall proportions of the room.
The right number of drawers depends on your storage needs and the available space. A 4 or 5 drawer chest suits most bedrooms, providing enough separation to organise different clothing categories without the piece becoming too tall. A 6 or 7 drawer chest offers greater capacity and suits larger bedrooms or households where more storage is genuinely needed. As a guide, consider what you would actually store in the piece before choosing — more drawers are only useful if you have the items to fill them.
Solid oak chest of drawers require minimal day-to-day maintenance. Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth and wipe down with a slightly damp cloth when needed — avoiding harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that can damage the timber's surface. Occasional treatment with a quality timber oil or furniture wax helps maintain the oak's appearance and provides a protective layer against everyday wear. Keep away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent fading or drying of the wood over time.
