* There's currently a trend for low, horizontal chests of drawers, good news if you want to store bulky items such as blankets or big jumpers.

* Low, wide drawers could even be used for shoes and handbags. But if floor space is limited, consider tall, narrow chests with lots of drawers – perfect for smaller items such as T-shirts and lingerie.

* Freestanding wardrobes are less popular then they used to be, but they are still a good choice, especially in a period home with alcoves either side of a chimney breast. Here, a wardrobe positioned in each alcove with the bed opposite and a sturdy set of bedside drawers will cover most storage needs.
