Small Cabinet with Drawers

What we like: Multiple style options

This versatile 8-drawer cabinet has an elegant minimalistic look from the neutral earthy tones of the drawers. The thin, delicate scrollwork of the black metal frame accents the smooth top rack in mahogany with an open bottom wire shelf.

Yes, wood is the most versatile option, but it’s far from being the only one for your cabinet with lots small drawers. On the contrary, certain materials could help you reinforce your style even further.

For example, choosing a design with a few metal elements is a must in industrial rooms, whereas some basket-style drawers would look delightful in coastal or shabby chic interiors. 

Versatile wooden cabinet with lots of drawers

Steelside™

A cabinet with lots small drawers will immediately stand out in your home, but this doesn’t mean that it should look out of place.

The easiest way to complement your existing interiors is to opt for a versatile wood finish that’s already present elsewhere in your room. This will also result in an apothecary chest that’s more similar to your traditional pieces of furniture.

Cabinet with small drawers in different shapes & sizes

Birch Lane™

When thinking of apothecary chests, you might be picturing a cabinet relying on symmetrical lines of drawers in the same size, but there’s a lot more to them.

In fact, if you’d rather make an even bolder statement, you could look for a model involving drawers in a wide range of shapes and sizes.

This is also handy if you were thinking of storing different types of items in them.

Antique apothecary style cabinet with lots of drawers

Bungalow Rose

With apothecary chests being used in the 19th century, it won’t come as a surprise that these drawer-based cabinets tend to inspire some antique vibes.

As you know by know, the most streamlined designs in neutral finishes will work in contemporary interiors, too.

However, if you’d rather celebrate their history and already have a few antique pieces of furniture in your home, look for a design in a darker wood finish and with an ornate frame (for example, one featuring wood carvings). Handles in a brass finish will also add to its antique charm. 

Small drawer cabinet in a distressed finish

This type of cabinet hides an ace in its small drawers: it’s the perfect opportunity to match your palette while still introducing an eye-catching decorative element.

Depending on the color or wood finish, distressed cabinets with small drawers are particularly indicated for shabby chic, French country, coastal, or rustic interiors.

Ornate cabinet with many small drawers

Mistana™

Opting for carved wooden designs or extremely decorative shapes is another effective idea for a cabinet with lots small drawers that immediately catches your guests’ attention.

While it won’t really work with the most contemporary or minimalist rooms, it’d look divine with more decorative and delicate styles like shabby chic, French country, or even some cozily familiar traditional interiors.

Neutral cabinet with many drawers

World Menagerie

Another versatile option is to choose a cabinet with lots small drawers in a neutral color like white, black, or gray. This is especially handy in traditional interiors that tend to include at least one of them in their palette, but depending on the actual design, it can work wonders with other décor styles too.

For example, a distressed white finish with ornate details just screams shabby chic, whereas the same color but in a streamlined design and with clean lines would be more contemporary.

Cabinet with lots of drawers in your accent hue

Red Barrel Studio®

If the main reason why you’re drawn to cabinets with lots small drawers is their intrinsic potential to stand out, just embrace this vision and emphasize it even further with the right finish.

The trick to maintain a cohesive effect in this case is to choose the accent hue of your palette, perhaps for a few drawers.

And don’t forget to reinforce this cohesiveness by sprinkling that color elsewhere within the same area through accessories like cushions or decorative prints.

Cabinet with a lot of drawers introducing a pattern (or two)

George Oliver

Monochrome or bicolor options are the safest and most effective when it comes to matching your interiors and palette, especially if you already have a pretty recognizable pattern in the same room.

But what if you haven’t? What if you sometimes find it a bit bare?

In that case, your new cabinet with small drawers can stand out even more by showcasing some bold patterns on its front.

To keep your interiors consistent, consider introducing them elsewhere in your room, such as on your sofa cushions.
