Bedroom storage in Mijas: chests of drawers and bedside furniture

When choosing bedroom storage furniture for your home in Mijas, begin with what you need to put away. Folded clothes, bedding, accessories and everyday items need different spaces. A wide chest may solve one problem; a narrower tallboy or bedside drawers may suit another.

These three catalogue images help you compare arrangements and proportions. The main photograph shows coordinated bedside furniture and a chest of drawers, while the following images focus on different details. Save references CAT04_01, CAT04_02 and CAT04_03 when enquiring about the options.

Take stock before adding another piece

Separate everyday belongings from things stored for another season. Check what your wardrobe already holds and what regularly ends up on a chair or bedside table. This simple review helps establish whether you need drawers, shelves or a different arrangement of your existing storage.

If two people share the room, consider access for both. A useful drawer should open without moving the bed or blocking the other person. Record the dimensions of any furniture you intend to keep using our home measurement checklist.

Include bedside furniture in your storage plan

A bedside drawer can hold small items that otherwise cover the surface next to the bed. Compare its height with the mattress in place and allow room for a lamp, a glass and whatever you use at night. The photograph shows drawers combined with a practical surface beside the bed.

Ask about usable internal dimensions: the drawer front alone does not tell you what fits inside. If you are also selecting a headboard, our guide to coordinating headboards and bedside tables will help you assess the whole arrangement.

A wide chest or a tallboy: let the wall guide you

A wide chest provides a continuous surface; a tallboy places storage within a narrower footprint. Compare available depth, drawer opening space and the position of the window. The image below presents several shapes so you can consider their proportions.

When requesting a proposal, explain what you will store and ask about internal measurements, opening mechanisms and assembly. Installation and fixings should follow the furniture instructions and suit the wall. Counting drawers in a photograph is only the beginning of the comparison.

Connect the finishes with the rest of the bedroom

Relate the new piece to the floor, headboard or an existing bedside table. Pale furniture can work with wood details and colourful textiles. Bring samples and photographs of the whole room to judge the combination. Our guide to curtains and cushions offers ideas for the finishing touches.

• Measure the wall, skirting and available depth.
• Mark sockets, switches and door openings.
• Check the route around open drawers and wardrobe doors.
• List what each piece needs to hold.
