From wood to metal, we’ve got a storage trunk for you

It is no surprise that storage trunks are a great way to keep your home organised and clutter-free. That’s part of the reason why they seem to always have been around as one of the many great storage options available. Another great thing about storage trunks is that they’re available in countless different sizes, shapes, materials such as wicker trunks, and styles. So, no matter which practical needs or aesthetic preferences you have, there’s likely a storage trunk for you: 

Wooden storage trunks

Wooden storage trunks are a classic choice for any home and are more or less what you usually imagine when you hear the word “storage chest”. While those you find today aren’t likely to include an actual treasure, they can still add great value to your home interior. Wooden storage chests are well-known for their sturdy build and durability, making them perfect for storing heavy items such as books, clothes or linens. And if you take good care of it, the chest will last you a lifetime. 

Wooden chests also have a timeless look that can fit in with any decor. You can find both vintage-looking and more modern-looking storage chests in our selection in unique designs and with decorative metal detail and handles that remind you of the old-fashioned kinds. 

Storage trunks in engineered wood

If you want a storage trunk that looks and acts like wood but is even stronger and more durable, then our storage trunks in engineered wood are likely right up your alley. 

At vidaXL, you can find storage trunks in engineered wood with different types of finishes and colours to make it easy for you to pick the look you prefer. 

Metal storage trunks

If you’re looking for a more industrial look, like if you’re going for a New Yorker-style home, a metal storage trunk is a great choice. In many cases, the designs remind you of the typical lockers in changing rooms, but with a bit more modern approach the style. Metal storage trunks are also rather durable and can withstand a lot of wear and tear, making them ideal for storing books and other frequently used household items.

How to find the most amazing storage trunk for your home 

Chances are, you’ll be happy with your new storage trunk regardless of which one you pick. But if you want to make you make a full home run on your purchase, there are a couple of different factors you can keep in mind:

• Storage capacity - Storage trunks, first and foremost, serve a practical purpose in that you use them to store items such as clothes, linens, children's toys or seasonal items neatly out of sight. As such, you want to choose a trunk that is large enough to hold all of the items you need to store. At the same time, it shouldn’t be so large that it takes up too much space in the room. Our best tip for you is to, on one hand, consider the dimensions of the space where you plan to keep the trunk, and choose a size that fits comfortably in that space. On the other hand, if you intend to store objects that take up a lot of space, such as various blankets and cushions, your trunk should, of course, have fitting dimensions.

• Material - The storage chest’s material serves both a functional and aesthetic purpose, and whether you intend to use one indoors or outdoors, you might have different requirements for the material’s functional features. For example, if you want to use a storage chest outdoors, go for one in a weather-resistant and durable material that also keeps moisture inside the chest at bay. Polypropylene is a great example.

If you intend to use the storage chest indoors instead, the material’s decorative features might be more important. On the other hand, if you’re a busy family with kids, choosing a storage chest that doubles as a box for storing books or toys and is easy to clean and maintain will be most useful.

• Style - Do you want a trunk that is decorative and adds to the overall aesthetic of your home, or do you want something more functional that blends in with your existing decor? We have many different styles of storage trunks to choose from, including vintage-inspired designs, modern minimalist designs and everything in between.

Of course, the most important consideration when choosing a storage trunk is the intended use, whether it’s placed in a bedroom at the foot of a bed, used as a window seat, or as extra seating in your living space. If you're planning to store toys, you'll want a trunk that is easy for kids to access and sturdy enough to withstand rough play. If you're storing blankets or clothing, you'll want a trunk that is well-ventilated and won't trap moisture.

Spruce up your home interior with a decorative storage chest

Other than serving as a practical storage option, storage chests also work brilliantly as stylish decorative pieces that can help elevate your home interior design, no matter if you aim for a modern, retro, bohemian, farmhouse, industrial or Scandinavian-inspired home. No matter which design you choose, storage trunks can add a unique touch to the room. 

Storage chests as a statement piece 

If you want to, you can use storage trunks as statement pieces. Place a vintage trunk by your bed in the bedroom or under a window as a window seat to create a warm welcome for your guests. Or use a brightly coloured trunk as a focal point in your living room to add a pop of colour to your space. Visiting guests will, without a doubt, be impressed by your new, each-catching storage trunk. 

Match the chest with the room’s theme

There are also many great ways you can incorporate the storage trunk into your interior decoration. If you’re aiming for a rustic look, you can pair a wooden storage trunk with natural elements such as plants or woven baskets. If you prefer a more modern style, consider pairing a sleek metal trunk with minimalist decor or furniture with elegant metal elements. For a bohemian vibe, try mixing and matching different types of trunks and use them as plant stands or as a base for your eclectic decor.

Get creative with how you use your storage chest

You can even use your new storage trunk as a decorative coffee or bedside table that also provides handy storage space. The possibilities are almost endless. With a little creativity, you can incorporate them into any room style in any way you wish and spice up the interior design with one single addition.

Give your storage chest the care it deserves

We recommend taking care of and cleaning your storage trunk from time to time to ensure it lasts a long time and stays in optimal condition as you continue to use it. It’s important to know that different materials and surface treatments require different cleaning and maintenance methods. 

If you have a storage trunk in natural wood, we recommend you keep it away from direct sunlight and moisture to prevent discolouring, warping or cracking. To clean your wooden chest, use a soft cloth or brush to remove any dust or dirt. You should avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they risk damaging the wood. You can also apply a wood polish or wax to protect the surface and enhance its natural beauty.

If you’ve got a metal storage trunk instead, a regular cleaning with a damp cloth and some mild soap will help prevent rust and corrosion. Avoid using abrasive materials that can scratch the surface. You can also apply a metal polish to keep the surface shiny and protected.

By following these tips based on the material and surface treatment, you can keep your storage trunk looking great for years to come. Remember to always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and recommendations to make sure you don’t do any harm to the material when you’re cleaning or treating it.
