Call them hope chests, keeping chests, steamer trunks, or just a box, a lidded decorative trunk is a secure place to store blankets, pillows, sewing, craft supplies, books, magazines, music recordings, and much, much more. If it will not fit neatly on a shelf or if it looks scraggly and unattractive setting out in your home, a decorative trunk will allow you to “declutter” while preserving both the item or project and the orderly appearance of your space. Trunks come in all sorts of designs from cedar chests to roll-top trunks to woven rattan. They provide convenient, attractive storage.
