Best white chest of drawers for bedrooms, hallways, and living spaces
Each home has its own rhythm, and so do our white chests of drawers. We design them to fit beautifully wherever you need extra storage and style.
- Tall white chests of drawers – reach new heights of organisation
Perfect for beds or small rooms, tall chests such as the MALM 6-drawer or HAUGA high chest make use of vertical space. Their narrow profile stores a lot without appearing boxy, and the white finish keeps spaces bright and airy.

Care & styling tips for your white chest of drawers
At IKEA we don’t just sell the piece – we help you live with it and enjoy it for years. Here are our trusted care and styling suggestions:
Care:
- Avoid placing your white chest of drawers in direct sunlight for prolonged periods; excessive UV exposure can gradually discolor surfaces.
- Wipe spills immediately using a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive detergent. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or scouring pads that can damage the white finish.
- Use coasters or felt pads under items placed on the top surface to prevent rings, scratches or staining.
- If your home has high humidity (bathroom, basement), ensure moderate ventilation, this helps prevent moisture-related issues like warping or swelling.
- Periodically check drawer runners, tighten screws and ensure smooth operation. As part of our quality standards we build ease of maintenance into every piece.
- If you notice yellowing, you may consider gentle polishing or repositioning the unit away from walls that yellow over time (e.g., near radiators or heaters).
Styling:
- On the top surface of your white chest, consider placing a mix of low-profile décor: a small plant, framed photo, decorative tray. The white gives you an unobtrusive base, so you can go bold with accents if you like.
- In a bedroom, pair your white chest with pastel textiles (mint, blush, gray) for a soft Scandinavian feel. Add a wooden mirror or lamp for warmth.
- In an entry hallway, use your white chest with a round mirror above, a small bowl for keys and a neutral runner to keep the zone functional and welcoming.
- In a living space, treat the white chest as a subtle anchor: stack magazines or books, keep a minimalist lamp, and let the drawers do the hidden work of storage (remote, cables).
- Consider mixing materials: metal hardware, leather drawer pulls, textured baskets inside drawers, all work beautifully against white.
- Finally, keep the area around your white chest visible and uncluttered. The clean lines and bright finish of white only shine if you keep its surrounding zone tidy, a principle we at IKEA support through our range of storage solutions.
