If you’re looking for chest of drawers in living room ideas for a small space, a minimal, rustic piece is an excellent option for maximizing storage and displaying your trinkets. Look for a compact but long chest, allowing you to fit it into tight spaces while offering plenty of vertical storage. 

A laminated particleboard chest of drawers with an industrial-style metal frame is an excellent lightweight, eco-friendly living room option. The dark, rustic finish is versatile but can be complemented by lighter-colored decorative pieces, like cream-colored porcelain vases, or a rose gold photo frame to create contrast.
