Boori kids interiors refers to the brand’s approach to the complete visual and functional design of an Australian child’s bedroom, treating every piece of furniture as a considered element of the room’s design rather than simply a functional necessity. Within the Boori kids interiors philosophy, the chest of drawers is not positioned as a storage afterthought but as a deliberate visual element of the room that contributes to the organised, calm aesthetic that makes an Australian child’s bedroom a genuinely pleasant space to occupy. Getting the chest of drawers right, in terms of both its functional specification for the Australian child and its visual integration with the rest of the room, is as important as getting any other Boori kids interiors decision right.

Styling the Chest of Drawers in an Australian Boori Kids Interior
The Top Surface as a Design Element
The top surface of a chest of drawers in a Boori kids interior is a design element as well as a functional surface. During the Australian nursery stage, the changing mat occupies the surface with nursery supplies arranged accessibly alongside it. After the changing stage ends, the top surface becomes a small display area in the Australian child’s bedroom: a framed print, a small plant, a lamp in a coordinating tone, and nothing else. The surface should not accumulate the miscellaneous items that naturally gravitate toward horizontal surfaces in an Australian child’s bedroom. A clear, intentional top surface contributes to the room’s calm, organised aesthetic throughout the day and is one of the simplest improvements an Australian family can make to the visual quality of the bedroom.
Coordinating the Chest With the Australian Room
In a Boori kids interior for an Australian bedroom, the chest of drawers coordinates with the room’s other pieces through finish family rather than precise collection matching. A natural timber chest sits naturally alongside a natural timber bed frame and bookshelf from coordinating Boori ranges. A white or neutral painted chest coordinates with white or neutral painted bedroom furniture from any point in the Boori range. The result is an Australian bedroom where the chest belongs visually from the first day it is placed in position.
The Drawer Hardware as a Design Detail
The drawer hardware, the knobs, handles, or recessed pulls on each drawer front, is a small design detail that contributes to the overall visual character of the chest in the Australian Boori kids interior. Understated hardware in a coordinating metal tone or natural material suits the Boori kids interiors aesthetic well. Brightly coloured or character-themed hardware, while appealing to young Australian children in the short term, tends to date quickly and creates visual noise that disrupts the settled aesthetic the Boori range is designed to create in the Australian bedroom.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should go on top of a chest of drawers in an Australian Boori kids interior?
During the nursery stage: a changing mat, a small caddy for nappies and wipes, and a soft lamp. After the changing stage: a small plant, a framed print or small artwork, and a lamp. Nothing else. Resist the tendency to use the chest top as a catch-all surface in the Australian bedroom. A clear, intentionally styled top surface is one of the most effective single contributions to the calm, organised Boori kids interiors aesthetic.
Should the drawer hardware on a Boori chest match the wardrobe in an Australian bedroom?
Within a Boori kids interior for an Australian bedroom, hardware consistency across all pieces, the chest drawer handles, the wardrobe handles, and the drawer pulls on the storage unit, creates a subtle visual coherence that strengthens the room’s overall designed character. Coordinating but not necessarily identical hardware in a consistent metal tone works most naturally.
Where should the chest of drawers be positioned in an Australian Boori kids interior?
In the dressing zone of the Australian bedroom, ideally on the same wall or adjacent wall as the wardrobe. This grouping creates a dedicated clothing storage area that simplifies the morning routine, makes the dressing zone feel like a considered part of the room design, and keeps clothing-related activities away from the sleeping and reading zones of the Australian child’s bedroom.
Can a Boori kids interiors chest of drawers suit a ten-year-old’s Australian bedroom?
Yes. The neutral Boori kids interiors chest of drawers is the bedroom piece that ages most gracefully, because its visual character does not become incongruous as the Australian child grows. The same chest that suited a toddler’s Australian bedroom suits a ten-year-old’s bedroom with different top surface styling, different drawer labels for the evolved wardrobe categories, and the same quality construction serving the same clothing storage function it has served from the nursery stage.
Final Thoughts
In a Boori kids interior for an Australian bedroom, the chest of drawers earns its visual and functional place through the same design considerations that determine every other piece in the room. Chosen in a coordinating finish, positioned purposefully in the dressing zone, styled with an intentional and uncluttered top surface, and built to the Australian safety and quality standards that the Boori range applies consistently, it contributes to the organised, calm, and visually coherent Australian bedroom that is the ambition of every considered children’s interior.
