However, if you don’t know where to start, most people tend to organise the goods within in a few different ways, including by:
• Each drawer – in this way, users tend to use one drawer for underwear, one for tops, one for PJs, etc.
• The drawer position – this method dictates where specific items are placed, for example, tops go in the top drawer, bottoms in the bottom drawer, etc.
• Splitting the drawers into multiple use sections – if you don’t have a large quantity of one item, you can also split drawers into halves or quarters to store similar items near each other, for example, make-up, toiletries, and your hair dryer.
Either way, it’s completely up to you to store things however is easiest to reach and access because remember, when the drawer is closed, nobody will see anyway!

According to The Association of Art & Antiques Dealers, the chest of drawers became popular in the late 17th century, from around the late 1670s onwards.
Before this, most homeowners would have used coffer chests and organised their smaller quantity of clothes into piles within, negating the need for drawers.
Surprisingly, however, the mobile middle classes had the most need for chests of drawers because of their less expansive homes, which means that their popularity today stems from slightly more humble means than other furniture items, like very large chests which came from the upper classes and nobility.
