Three Kinds of Chest — Which One Do You Need?
- Chests of drawers — stacked drawers for folded clothes, linen and daily essentials. The Cove and Micasa designs suit bedrooms and dressing areas where everything needs a calm, ordered home.
- Storage chests and trunks — one generous lid opening over a deep space for blankets, cushions and seasonal items. A trunk at the foot of the bed is a Saudi bedroom classic.
- Trunk-style sideboards — like the Dune leather trunk sideboard, they bring the character of travel trunks into the hall or living room, with serious storage behind a bold, elegant face.
The Leather Trunk Look
Leather-wrapped storage carries a confidence few materials match. The Dune trunk sideboard's leather finish warms halls and living rooms, pairs beautifully with brass lamps and marble, and ages with character rather than wear. Styled with a stack of books and one tall object on top, a leather trunk becomes the piece guests ask about — storage that behaves like art.
Organising Drawers Like a Boutique Hotel
Give every drawer one job: folded clothes in one, linen in another, accessories and watches in a shallow top drawer with dividers. Leave the top surface almost empty — a tray, a lamp, one framed photo — so the chest reads as furniture, not as overflow. In halls, a chest of drawers near the entrance swallows keys, chargers and daily clutter before it spreads through the house.
Where a Chest Works Hardest
At the foot of the bed, a trunk holds extra blankets and offers a seat for dressing. Against a bedroom wall, a chest of drawers replaces a bulky wardrobe for folded items. In the hall, a trunk sideboard anchors the entrance and hides shoes and bags. And in the majlis, a low chest stores extra cushions and serving pieces between gatherings.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a chest and a chest of drawers?
A storage chest opens from the top into one deep space, which suits blankets, cushions and other bulky items. A chest of drawers has several stacked drawers, better for folded clothes and small things you reach for daily. Choose the chest for volume, the drawers for organisation — many bedrooms use both.
Can I put a trunk at the foot of my bed?
Yes — a trunk at the foot of the bed is one of the most classic Saudi bedroom layouts. Choose a trunk slightly narrower than the bed, and use the inside for spare blankets and cushions. Keep the top clear or style it with a single folded throw so it can also serve as a dressing seat.
Is a leather trunk sideboard practical for a hall?
Yes — a leather trunk sideboard is very practical in a hall, anchoring the entrance while hiding shoes, bags and daily clutter. Leather wipes clean easily, which suits high-traffic spaces. The Dune leather trunk sideboard pairs its storage with a bold, elegant face that guests notice immediately.
How many drawers do I need in a bedroom chest?
For one person, four to six drawers usually cover folded clothes and daily essentials comfortably. Couples often choose one wider chest or a pair of chests — one for each side of the room. A balanced pair also gives the bedroom a more sophisticated, symmetrical look.
How do I organise chest drawers?
Give every drawer one job: folded clothes in one, linen in another, daily items in the top drawer. Use dividers in shallow drawers for watches, belts and accessories so nothing tangles. Folding items vertically lets you see everything at a glance and keeps the order you set.
Can a chest of drawers replace a wardrobe?
For folded clothing, yes — a chest of drawers handles everything that folds, and many Saudi bedrooms pair it with a single hanging wardrobe instead of a second bulky cupboard. Hanging dresses, thobes and suits still need wardrobe rail space. The combination keeps the room lighter and more refined.
How do I style the top of a chest?
Style the top of a chest calmly: a lamp, a small tray for jewellery or keys, and one decorative object or framed photo. Leave most of the surface empty so the chest reads as furniture, not overflow storage. That empty space is what makes the room feel refined.
How do I care for a leather trunk?
Care for a leather trunk by dusting it with a soft, dry cloth and wiping spills at once. Keep it away from long direct sunlight, which dries leather out over time. Avoid resting sharp or heavy objects on the surface, as they can mark the finish.
What can I store in a storage chest?
Store blankets, extra cushions, seasonal clothes, prayer mats, board games and serving pieces between gatherings in a storage chest. Its one deep space swallows bulky items that drawers cannot. Place the chest near where the contents are used and the whole house stays calmer.
Does a chest work in a majlis?
Yes — a low chest works well in the majlis, storing extra cushions, throws and coffee-serving pieces between gatherings. When guests arrive, its top can hold a lamp or a dallah tray. Placed along the wall, it adds storage without breaking the room's formal seating line.
How do I measure for a chest of drawers?
Measure the wall length first, then leave about 90 cm of clear space in front of a chest of drawers so the drawers open fully and you can stand before them. Check hallway and door widths too, so the piece can actually reach the room. Depth matters as much as width on delivery day.
Do you deliver chests outside Riyadh and Jeddah?
Yes — RIS delivers chests and sideboards to all regions of Saudi Arabia, with free delivery in main cities on orders of 2,500 SAR or more. Large pieces are packed with extra protection for the journey. You can also view them in person at the Jeddah showroom.
