What Is an Accent Chest?
An accent chest is a compact chest of drawers designed to provide stylish storage in living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, or entryways. Unlike a traditional tall chest of drawers or dresser chest, an accent chest typically features fewer drawers and serves as both functional storage and a decorative focal point in smaller spaces.
What You Get With the Currey & Co Aster Chest
- Museum-Inspired Design -- drawn from an antique in the Winterthur Museum collection, this piece brings historical authenticity to modern interiors.
- Premium Mixed Hardwoods -- mahogany and oak construction delivers durability and natural grain character in off-white and fog finishes.
- Polished Brass Accents -- drawer pulls and ferrule-capped turned legs add warm metallic contrast to the delicate gray and white palette.
- Removable Drawer Liners -- each drawer includes a removable liner for easy cleaning and versatile use, from linens to apparel.
- Compact Footprint -- at 18 inches deep and 34 inches wide, this storage chest fits entryways, hallways, and small bedrooms without dominating the floor plan.
Where Should You Place an Accent Chest?
Position the Aster Chest in your entryway for keys and mail, or pair it with complementary bedroom furniture for extra apparel storage. In living spaces, anchor it against a wall with a lamp or vase on top, and browse our bedroom storage collection for coordinating pieces. Its turned-leg silhouette also complements traditional chest of drawers arrangements in guest suites or home offices.
Frequently Asked Questions

- Most bedroom chests range from 44 to 60 inches tall, but accent chests like the Aster at 29.25 inches offer a lower profile for versatile placement.
- Can you use a chest of drawers in a living room or hallway?
- Yes -- accent chests work beautifully in living rooms, hallways, and entryways for storing linens, media accessories, or seasonal items while serving as a display surface.
