Repurposed Storage Trunk: Distressed Suitcase on Ornate Pedestal Base

Chloe Hughes | Interior Design Expert

This eclectic collection demonstrates how vintage trunks can serve as functional art in living rooms or entryways. Pair these weathered textures with soft fabrics like linen or cotton to create a balanced, cozy aesthetic. To achieve the perfect proportion, stack a smaller wood-toned crate atop a larger trunk to vary heights and add vertical interest. This approach breaks up the boxy silhouette while providing extra surfaces for decor or storage. Maintain the look by gently dusting the metal hardware with a dry cloth to prevent tarnish.
