Storage trunks

Trunks are much more than simple storage pieces. They are very decorative furniture that, for example, fit perfectly with vintage white sideboards and many other elements of retro aesthetics. In addition, they can be placed anywhere in the house, whether in the bedroom matched with dressers of the same style, or in the living room, hallway, or terrace. In the latter case, a wicker trunk can become the centerpiece of the space. In addition, on many occasions, they can be used as a table or seat and help keep the home perfectly organized. But what can you store in a storage trunk? Literally, whatever you want. For example, you may have a lot of clothes and your white bedroom wardrobes may not fit your bedspreads, sheets, and Nordic duvets. In this sense, a piece of furniture like this will come in handy. Also, a wicker trunk for the garden or terrace will give you the possibility, for example, to store the utensils of your barbecue and have them always at hand. In contrast, in the living room, located next to a wooden shoe rack, it will allow you to store those blankets with which you are so comfortable watching TV in winter.

Trunks: Versatile Storage and Design with Character

The trunk is one of the most functional and versatile pieces of furniture available. Far from being a mere storage container, it has evolved into a multifunctional design element capable of serving as a seat, coffee table, or decorative focal point. Its ample interior capacity makes it the perfect solution for keeping things organized, storing everything from bedding and toys to cushions and books, while its exterior adds character and utility to any room, from the entryway to the foot of the bed.

Types of trunks

GuyCharacteristicsIdeal for...
Wooden Chests Robust and timeless structure. They offer a solid surface and are very durable. Available in natural, painted, or aged finishes. Use them as a coffee table, at the foot of the bed in classic bedrooms, or as an accent piece in rustic styles.
Natural Fiber (Rattan) Trunks Lightweight, with an organic texture that adds warmth and a relaxed feel. Perfect for indoors and covered outdoor spaces. Boho, Mediterranean, or natural style environments. Ideal for storing blankets in the living room or towels on a porch.
Trunks with Seat/Upholstery Designed with a padded lid or a frame that allows it to be used as a bench. They combine storage and seating. Hallways as a shoe bench and shoe rack, or in children's bedrooms to store toys and offer an extra seat.

Advantages of storage trunks

  • Dual Functionality: They act simultaneously as a storage solution and as an auxiliary piece of furniture (bench, coffee table, shoe bench).
  • Large Storage Capacity: Its open interior is perfect for storing bulky items such as blankets, cushions, quilts or toys.
  • Focal Decorative Element: A trunk with a careful design becomes a point of visual interest that adds personality and style to the room.
  • Space Optimization: By combining two functions in one piece, they help to clear space and reduce the need for other furniture.

Tips for choosing your trunk

Define its main function: if you'll use it as a seat in the entryway, make sure the height is comfortable (around 45-50 cm) and the structure is sturdy. If it's going to be a coffee table, prioritize a model with a flat top for greater stability. Measure the available space so the trunk is in proportion to the rest of the furniture. The material should complement your decor: wood adds a classic touch, while rattan is ideal for more relaxed styles.
