The best chests of drawers to organise your home

If we had to choose a favourite detail of this design by Gabriele & Oscar Buratti it’d have to be the ‘scoubidou-effect’ handles, although the leather drawer fronts would come a close second. Created specifically for the bedroom, it can be paired with the matching ‘Bayus’ bedside table for a coordinated look. £8,360, everythingbutordinary.co.uk

This design by Ron Gilad looks like something from a Harry Potter set, and its rotating compartments offer a touch of magic. The best thing about it is that it’s modular, so you can use the individual drawers as single units or stack them as shown to form a twisting helix. From £10,303, molteni.it

‘Bosco’ is made for storing folded clothes and underwear, thanks to six deep drawers and its sturdy oak foundations. Curved recessed handles makes opening the drawers during the morning rush a seamless affair. £1,525, ercol.com

Personalisation is at the heart of USM Haller’s ‘Mix and Match’ range, which lets you create your own colour way and size. We’d go for orange for the drop down doors and brown for the smooth top to create a retro feel. £3,000, uk.usm.com

If you think this chest of drawers has a Scandinavian aesthetic, you’re not wrong – it’s the work of Danish design duo Says Who (who have also created popular pieces for the likes of John Lewis & Partners and The Sofa Company). £1,149, heals.com

A combination of decorative details elevate this Soho Home chest’s pill-shaped design, from the Michelangelo marble top and antique brass inlay to carved wooden accents resulting in traditional charm. £2,995, sohohome.com
