What Is an Accent Chest?
An accent chest is a decorative storage chest featuring drawers or compartments, used to add visual interest alongside functional storage in living rooms, bedrooms, or entryways. Unlike standard dressers designed primarily for clothing, accent chests prioritize design details and can serve as statement furniture in smaller spaces or as supplementary storage in larger rooms.
What You Get With the Currey & Co Evie Shagreen Chest
- Mahogany Construction -- Solid mahogany frame finished in dark walnut provides durability and a rich tonal foundation for the ivory panels.
- Faux Shagreen Panels -- Ivory faux shagreen covers the drawer fronts and wood-framed panels, recreating the texture and look of 1920s vintage shagreen furniture without the material cost.
- Three Full Drawers -- Three horizontal drawers offer organized storage for linens, accessories, or media while maintaining a vertical profile under 30 inches high.
- Cast Brass Hardware -- Solid cast brass door pulls deliver weight and longevity, complementing the ivory and walnut palette with warm metallic accents.
- Compact 32-Inch Width -- The 32-inch width and 18.5-inch depth fit narrow hallways, bedroom corners, or behind sofas without blocking walkways.
Where Do You Place a Chest of Drawers in a Living Room or Hallway?
Position this chest in a bedroom storage zone flanking a window or near a closet for overflow clothing. In living rooms, place it behind a sofa or along a side wall to store remotes, throws, and entertaining supplies. For entryway applications, center it under a mirror or artwork to create a landing station for keys and mail. Pair with other bedroom furniture in walnut or brass finishes to unify the space.
