Furniture to Store your Lingerie in Style

July 14, 2008 by  

Stuffing your lingerie collection in a drawer next to your socks and T-shirts not only means you’ll have to spend time finding those matching knickers, it also means you’ll forget what you’ve got (not to mention the disrespect!). Whether you want to make your spare room into your personal lingerie boutique, or just update your bedroom to accommodate your lingerie collection, we’ve found some beautiful pieces to safely store, and even display your collection, in style.

Lucy Willow Chateau Collection

If you’ve taken advantage of the lingerie sales Katie has been posting recently, you’ll have no doubt saved yourself a fortune! Now you’ve got all that spare dosh hanging about, why not invest in a stupendous unit to store and display your lingerie in? Perfect for giving you a constant reminder of what you have in your collection, these opulent display cabinets by Lucy Willow have that Lingerie Boutique style we adore; beautifully carved without being ostentatious, the white Bombe Chest (even the name makes you want it), has drawers to keep your knick knacks tidy, while the top gives you free-reign to display all your heavenly accessories. A touch more flamboyant, the Heavy Carved Cabinet, complete with three glass windows (right) is a stunning way of storing of your pretty possessions, leaving you to gaze at them from all angles.
The Chateau Bombe Chest £675 and the Heavy Carved Display £715 are available, along with a whole host of other gorgeous pieces, at Lucy Willow.

Mirrored Dressing Table by Black Orchid

If you don’t have enough room for a display cabinet, how about this gorgeous dressing table by Black Orchid? It has that glamorous 1920′s look to it, has drawers to store your favourite lingerie, and, while you puff your powder and spritz your perfume, you can admire your beautiful self in the triple mirror!
The Art Deco Mirrored Dressing Table £199 is available at Black Orchid, where you’ll find more decadent pieces, including some stunning chandeliers to go with your dressing table.

Whether you decide on the opulence of the Chateau Cabinets or the decadence of a mirrored table, you’ll need somewhere to throw your lingerie on to (even in the throes of passion, your lingerie will need somewhere to go). These stools and chair available at The Paris Apartment are just gorgeous; Claudia Strausser, owner of The Paris Apartment in New York, lovingly restores flea market finds, reincarnating them into treasures and selling them on. If the price tag isn’t in your range and you fancy something as stunning as this in your own home, don’t despair, Claudia has written a book about how to obtain the same romantic look on a budget.

Petite French Bench
$1600; Louis XV Armchair $1500, Rococo Stool $1100 all available at The Paris Apartment.

Thank you to fellow lingerie Queen, Alison from Faire Frou Frou, for sending us the tip; she’s in the midst of restyling her interiors and loves the look of the pieces at The Paris Apartment!
