Decorative Metal Storage Trunk

Decorative Metal Storage Trunk

Breakwater Bay

Made of wood and aluminum, this trunk only weighs eighteen pounds, and the handles on the sides make it easy to move rooms. It features a lift top, a lockable latch, and silver rivets and holds up to fifty pounds.

$119.99 $160

Designer Advice:

Vintage and industrial styles lean toward this trunk because it looks like an antique steamer trunk. Since it can be locked, it is an ideal place to stow important documents and home defense weapons. Pair this trunk with furniture with nailhead trim accents for a blended room appeal.

Embellished Storage Chest With Drawers

Embellished Storage Chest With Drawers

Charlton Home®

This vintage storage trunk is wrapped in distressed faux leather and straps and adorned with rivets. It comes in black, brown, dark brown, and red, has a lined interior and safety hinges, and can hold two hundred and fifty pounds.

Designer Advice:

The drawers on the bottom half of this chest are small enough to fit spare candles, incense sticks, and other things. One drawback to the drawers is they take away storage space from inside the trunk. The tufted top can be used as a seat in an entrance or bedroom or can double up as a living room coffee table.

Adorned Trunks for Storage With Rope Handles

Adorned Trunks for Storage With Rope Handles

World Menagerie

Two-toned with intricately detailed metal bands, this set of two gives off a natural flair. The hinged lids allow them to stay open, and the knotted handles give a firm handhold to pick them up and move them.

Designer Advice:

If you need a textural element that is both gorgeous and allows you to store items, this is a fantastic choice. Because there are two, a neat way to style them is by stacking them offset from each other and setting them in a room corner.

Buying Guide

There are lots of different ways to use large decorative storage trunks for decorative purposes, so this is your chance to get creative. For example, you could use them:

  • As a coffee table in your living room
  • As nightstands or at the bottom of your bed in your bedroom
  • To store umbrellas, pet supplies, and other last-minute accessories in your foyer or mudroom

You can also decide to leave them open and have decorative items like blankets or books stick out of them.

We’ve found that there are two main styles of large decorative storage trunks: hefty hardwood trunks that hinge up at the back that otherwise don’t feature any decoration, and metal, wooden, or leather trunks that have decorative edging that criss-crosses around the storage trunk for a more industrial or vintage vibe.

If you’re going for a minimalist or modern effect, it’s best to stay with a trunk that is seamless and without these types of decorative borders; let the material speak for itself. If you want your space to have more of a busier look, find a storage trunk with the contrasting borders that you like.

Alternatively, you can decorate with them by placing progressively smaller trunks on top of your largest one.
