Chelsea Velvet Bedroom Bench 170 cm – Storage Trunk with Shoe Drawer

Chelsea Cream Velvet Storage Bench 170cm – Bedroom Blanket Box with Shoe Drawer

The Chelsea Cream velvet storage bench combines elegant upholstered design with two practical storage areas, making it a sophisticated and functional addition to a bedroom, dressing room or spacious hallway. Measuring 170 cm in width, this generously proportioned bench features a deeply button-tufted lid, a large internal blanket box and a separate pull-out drawer suitable for shoes and accessories. Its soft cream finish creates a light, refined appearance that complements both contemporary and classic interiors.

Designed to sit beautifully at the foot of a bed, the Chelsea Cream bench helps organise bedding, throws and cushions without introducing another conventional cabinet into the room. The concealed lower drawer provides additional storage while remaining almost invisible when closed, allowing the furniture to retain its clean, uninterrupted silhouette.

A cream bedroom storage bench with two separate compartments

The Chelsea Cream model offers more flexibility than a standard blanket box. Beneath the lift-up lid is a wide storage compartment designed for larger household textiles, including spare bedding, blankets, seasonal duvets, bedspreads and decorative cushions. The full-width opening makes it easier to store bulky items that may not fit comfortably inside ordinary drawers.

A second compartment is positioned beneath the main storage chest. This long pull-out drawer can be used to organise shoes, slippers, handbags, storage boxes or other bedroom accessories that should remain separate from clean bedding.

By combining two distinct storage areas within one piece of furniture, the bench makes efficient use of floor space and can reduce the need for additional bedroom storage. When both compartments are closed, the drawer front blends into the upholstered body, preserving the bench’s elegant, streamlined appearance.

Button-tufted velvet lid with an elegant cream finish

The lift-up lid is finished with deep button tufting that adds texture and visual depth to the generously sized surface. The structured pattern gives the bench a tailored appearance inspired by luxury hotel and boutique bedroom furniture.

The cream velvet-style upholstery has a soft, tactile character and subtly reflects the light. As with many velvet fabrics, the tone may appear slightly lighter or deeper depending on the direction of the pile and the surrounding lighting. This natural variation enhances the richness of the finish rather than creating a completely flat block of colour.

The upholstery continues across the body and drawer front, giving the furniture a cohesive appearance from every visible angle. Small wooden feet add definition at floor level without distracting from the soft, fully upholstered form.

Perfect for the foot of a king-size bed

At 170 cm wide, the Chelsea Cream storage bench is particularly well suited to larger bedrooms and can be positioned at the foot of many king-size or super king beds, depending on the dimensions of the bed frame. Its long shape visually anchors the sleeping area and creates the polished appearance often associated with professionally designed hotel bedrooms.

The 49 cm depth provides substantial internal storage while remaining relatively compact compared with a chest of drawers. Its 50 cm height gives the bench a confident presence and allows it to sit proportionally alongside tall upholstered beds.

Before ordering, measure the available space and ensure there is enough room to open both the top lid and the lower drawer comfortably. Sufficient clearance should also be maintained around the bench to allow easy movement through the bedroom.

A versatile storage bench for bedrooms, dressing rooms and hallways

Although designed primarily as a bedroom storage bench, the Chelsea Cream model can be used in several areas of the home. In a dressing room, the lower drawer offers useful shoe storage while the upper compartment can hold seasonal clothing, folded textiles or spare cushions.

In a hallway, the bench provides concealed space for footwear and accessories, although the suitability of the upholstered lid for regular seating should be confirmed against the manufacturer’s stated maximum weight capacity. It may also be used in a living room to store throws, blankets and occasional soft furnishings.

The Chelsea Cream bench works particularly well in:

• modern classic bedrooms
• glamorous interiors
• New York-inspired homes
• boutique hotel-style bedrooms
• neutral contemporary spaces
• elegant dressing rooms
• interiors featuring cream, beige, taupe and cashmere tones

Materials and construction

The bench is constructed using oak, birch and plywood, creating a structured base for the fully upholstered exterior. The combination of timber components supports the elongated form and allows the main blanket box and lower drawer to function independently.

The cream velvet-style fabric softens the construction and gives the piece its refined decorative character. Its neutral colouring works beautifully with light and dark timber, mirrored furniture, warm metallic finishes, natural stone and soft bedroom textiles.

Although the tufted top gives the furniture the appearance of a seating bench or storage ottoman, it should only be used for sitting when the manufacturer’s confirmed load capacity allows it.

How to care for a cream velvet storage bench

Vacuum the upholstery regularly using a soft furniture attachment, paying particular attention to the recessed areas within the button tufting. Fresh marks should be treated promptly by blotting the fabric gently rather than rubbing it.

Before applying any upholstery cleaning product, test it on a discreet area and follow the manufacturer’s care instructions. Avoid positioning the bench immediately beside a radiator or in prolonged direct sunlight, as strong heat and UV exposure may gradually affect the appearance of the fabric.

Only clean and completely dry textiles should be stored inside the blanket box. The compartment may also benefit from occasional ventilation, particularly when used for seasonal bedding.
