Editor's Note

This distressed accent chest functions beautifully in a neutral entryway or as an elegant nightstand in a primary bedroom. To complement its intricate relief carvings, pair the piece with smooth ceramic lighting or glass accessories to provide a textural counterpoint. The muted taupe and whitewashed finish allows for bold wall colors, though it shines brightest against soft greys. Balance the ornate details of the chest by keeping the surrounding decor minimal and organic. For regular care, simply dust with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to preserve the delicate hand-painted finish.
