Wicker Trunks
Wednesday, January 6th, 2010Wicker trucks are versatile and functional storage pieces you can purchase for many uses in your home. Varying in size from small to very large, one of the best features of a wicker trunk is that it serves as a beautiful decorative addition that neatly contains anything you need to store and keeps it out of sight. Made out of woven sticks, wicker trunks manage to provide both an antique and warm touch to any decor.
Wicker trunks are a charming addition to many rooms in a home and work well with many decorative styles. The wicker material provides a rustic element with its natural tones. The color of wicker trunks vary but the majority range between a light tan to a dark brown shade, similar to the color of sticks but often dyed different colors. Wicker trunks are also very affordable storage pieces and lightweight compared to trunks made from solid wood.

While many people purchase wicker trunks because of its beautiful look, it also serves as easily accessible storage space. Unlike other trunks that are pushed into the back of the closet or kept in the basement, wicker trunks are often kept out in a room to be shown off as a decorative piece. If you do not have enough closet space, a large wicker trunk can hold excess bedding and clothing. Use it in your living room to store toys, books and games for the family. Placing a piece of glass on top can transform it into a functional coffee table. Wicker trunks are not only beautiful, but practical too and make a great addition to any room.
