It’s not difficult to see, feel and even smell the benefits of adding a warm cedar chest to the décor of your home. But as a completely adaptable piece of cedar furniture that can work in a bedroom, living room or dining room, it’s important to call out the great reasons how a wooden chest can be useful in every situation.

Bedroom Chest: An Evolution from Child to Adult

Many of us dreamed of having a chest at the foot of our bed to put toys in. Clean-ups become a cinch, playtime becomes a treasure trove, and our favorite blankets can even reside inside. As we grow older, these chests are equally as useful for our blankets (that have hopefully evolved), but a cedar chest can also provide us with a seat useful when zipping up boots or as a quick drop for your bags and keys when entering the room.

Charm Houseguests with a Dining or Living Room Cedar Chest

Keep a large cedar chest resting against the wall of your living or dining room to bring in a spacious storage option. One more place to put bulky, large trays or bowls, tablecloths and napkins, or seasonal items is always welcome. If you place the chest against a window and have pets, the large, flat surface area can be cushioned for a comfortable perch for cats and dogs to watch the birds.

The Instant Heirloom

Since the cedar chest is so incredibly adaptable to each room in all of the above mentioned uses, there is no doubt this coveted piece of furniture made with solid cedar wood will retain inevitable status as an heirloom for generations to come.
