Case Goods
by: Angela Oliver

Case goods are essential for a bedroom or living room setting. Not only do they add elegance to the room, but they are also functional and keep the room from looking cluttered. Different types of case goods that are available include bookcases, chest of drawers, cupboards and wardrobes.

Book cases are a great design element to add to any room. If there are lots of books to store or put on display, they can be showcased on the bookcases. Bookcases can also be decorated with other home furnishing accessories. By adding a picture frame, some flowers, candles, decorative book ends, and bookcase can really enhance the look of the room. Also use fabrics to drape over or around the book shelf to create soft edges and give the room a cozy feeling.

A chest of drawers is an essential element for any bedroom. They are very important for storing goods and other fine goods. A chest also serves as a vanity which can be doubled with a large mirror as well as baskets on the counter space for storing items. A chest of drawers can also serve as a TV stand. Why add another piece of furniture to a room when the television can simply be mounted on top a chest of drawers? Using furniture for multiple purposes makes room for other things.
