Shop Bedroom FurnitureWhat to Consider When Shopping for a Bedroom Cabinet
Choosing the right bedroom storage cabinets can have a significant impact on aesthetics and the amount of space these items take up. But before you go out shopping for your cabinetry, a little preparation is a must.
Measure Your Space
Start by noting the width, height, and depth of the area of your bedroom. Based on the size of your bedroom, plan for at least 2 to 3 inches of clearance around each furniture piece for airflow and easy movement.
Consider Cabinet Size and Function
Think about how much storage you need when choosing storage cabinets for the bedroom. Options with multiple drawers or shelves are ideal for keeping things organized, but make sure the dimensions of the cabinet align with the available space. Avoid oversized pieces that overwhelm the room, especially if your bedroom is small. For bigger rooms, you can place a large bedroom entertainment center or cabinet without overcrowding the area.
Color and Finish Impact
When considering bedroom storage ideas, don’t overlook the finish and color of a piece—it can affect the mood of the room! Here are popular bedroom cabinet colors and how they can change the aesthetics of your space:
- White cabinetry brightens the room and creates a fresh, clean look. It’s perfect for small spaces as it gives an airy feel, but too much can make a space feel cold, so balance it with colors and textures.
- Dark cabinetry adds sophistication and warmth but can make a room feel smaller. However, it works well in larger rooms or when combined with light-colored walls for symmetry.
- Natural wood brings warmth and texture, creating a welcoming, rustic atmosphere. It’s versatile and works in various design schemes, from modern to traditional.
Identifying the Types of Bedroom Cabinets
There are various storage ideas for bedroom spaces to choose from, including options you may not have thought of. In this section, we've provided more detail on the different types of bedroom storage solutions you can use and how they can fit perfectly into certain bedrooms.
Bedroom Armoire
A bedroom armoire is a tall, freestanding cabinet with doors that typically conceal hanging rods, shelves, or drawers. It’s ideal for storing clothes, such as dresses, suits, or jackets, and can also hold bedding or seasonal items. Armoires are perfect for bedrooms with limited closet space, as they provide versatile storage in a compact design. Unlike a traditional dresser, an armoire gives you vertical storage and can neatly hide clutter behind closed doors.
Bedroom Media Chests
Media chests combine storage with functionality, designed to hold entertainment devices like televisions, gaming consoles, and media players. But when used in a sleep space, a bedroom media chest is a great way to store wardrobe and electronics in a single footprint. For smaller spaces, this is a great way to add bedroom organization without occupying the same room as a dresser or an armoire.

Bedroom Chest of Drawers
A chest of drawers is a classic storage option featuring stacked drawers instead of horizontal drawers like dressers. It’s suitable for small to medium-sized bedrooms and provides compact yet functional storage to declutter bedroom spaces. A chest of drawers is taller than a dresser while nearly matching the dimensions of an armoire, providing ample room to stow items while reserving floor space.
Bedroom Credenzas
While credenzas are mostly seen in a living room or as storage décor in the foyer, that doesn’t mean they’re limited to these spaces. Because of their long, low-storage compartments, they can also be used to store a variety of bedroom items such as linens, books, or decor. Overall, a bedroom credenza can serve as both a storage and display piece to add a contemporary touch to a room’s décor and makes a great alternative to a dresser in larger bedrooms.
Bedroom Buffets
Originally designed for dining areas, buffets can double as bedroom storage. With spacious cabinets and drawers, they are perfect for bedding, extra pillows, or seasonal decor. Furthermore, a bedroom buffet gives you a unique, stylish alternative to standard bedroom furniture and works well in larger, statement-driven bedrooms. Pair a buffet with a bedroom shelf or smaller bedside tables for a cohesive look that provides storage in every area of the bedroom.
