- Chest of Drawers
If a wardrobe is king, then a chest of drawers can be seen as its loyal counterpart. Dealing with the overspill of clothing is a welcome addition, but many chest-of-drawers can be personalised, giving your room a truly homely feel.

- Desks
Desks have always been popular in the home, offering a corporate sanctuary that allows you to get things done without being distracted. Some desks are bigger than others, but the vast amount of choice available means that you can easily acquire a desk that fits in with the rest of your décor.
