Buying Guide

The best place for a hand painted accent chest is in a room or space lacking in colorful design and organization. These chests are made to stand out, providing an artistic element to any room in your home.

Place one in a dining room to serve as a focal point and as a storage cabinet for china pieces, utensils, or other dining-related items. Add them to a foyer or entryway as a chic console and use the drawers for storing shoes, bags, and small items to grab and go.

You can also decorate a bedroom or nursery with your hand painted accent chest. Avoid placing a hand painted chest in a bedroom that already has a lot of pattern and color, so keep bedding and rug neutral. To spruce up a basic bathroom, position your accent chest catty-corner in the room, or along one wall, preferably across from the door.

You can also find a location for your chest by determining where its design, whether soft florals or abstract lines, fits best with your current decor. If it is crafted with an antique base and legs, place it in a room with mid-century modern or similar design style.

Depending on the size of your hand-painted accent chest, you’ll be surprised how much you manage to store inside of it. A typical three-drawer chest can range dramatically in size, but a unit with three drawers, each measuring 6'' H x 19.8'' W x 9.75'' D, can hold approximately 25 lbs.

To put this into perspective, 20 lbs. of laundry might include 4 pairs of jeans, 8 shirts, 2 pairs of shorts, 9 pairs of underwear, 2 towels, and 8 pairs of socks. If you’re hoping to store other materials in your accent chest, consider that a baseball, a football, 20 AA batteries, a cell phone in a hard case, and a small bag of coffee beans all weigh roughly 1 lb. each. This should give you a general idea of how much you can fit in your storage chest based on its weight capacity.

A hand-painted accent chest is a whimsical thing. It may not work well in a modern or industrial setting, but would be right at home in a vintage-inspired home or as part of a farmhouse-chic aesthetic. Of course, if you want your hand-painted accent chest to be a statement piece in your home, it may be best to make that the center of an otherwise minimalistic room.

For the most part, vintage, maximalist, and farmhouse vibes will be a good setting for a hand painted accent chest.
