For Extra Storage
Pulling a chest of drawers next to the bed has lots of advantages. The top can hold the lamp, the phone, the alarm clock. Other bedside accoutrements (books, tissue box, remote) slip into the top drawer. Additional drawers can house clothes that yearn to migrate from the closet floor, bed linens for easy access on sheet-changing day, or an extra blanket for a chilly night.

RS Pick: Crate & Barrel’s Larsson Four-Drawer Chest is a Swedish-inspired design in ivory painted wood that will blend with various decors, and it comes with two sets of knobs – bronze and white. At 33 1/3 inches wide, 20 inches deep, and 39 1/2 inches high, it has plenty of storage in its ample drawers and room on top for a substantial lamp.
To Buy: $359, www.crateandbarrel.com.
