Frequently Asked Questions
What types of decorative boxes are available?
Our decorative boxes collection includes jewelry boxes with compartments, keepsake boxes for memorabilia, storage boxes with lids, nesting boxes in graduated sizes, trinket boxes for small items, book boxes that resemble books, and purely decorative boxes as sculptural objects. Materials include wood, metal, ceramic, leather, lacquer, bone inlay, and natural fibers like rattan or seagrass in various sizes, shapes, and finishes.
Where should I place decorative boxes?
Decorative boxes work beautifully on coffee tables to corral remotes and coasters, console tables in entryways for keys and mail, nightstands for jewelry and small items, bathroom counters for cotton balls and accessories, desks for office supplies, or shelving as decorative accents. Group with vases, candle holders, and other decorative accessories for styled vignettes.
How do I style decorative boxes?
Use boxes functionally and decoratively. On coffee tables, use a large box as a tray alternative to organize remotes and coasters. Stack nesting boxes in varying sizes for height and visual interest. Mix materials—pair smooth lacquer with rough woven textures or shiny metal with matte wood. Group boxes with decorative objects using the rule of three. Leave some boxes closed for mystery, others slightly open to reveal contents.
What sizes work best for different uses?
Small boxes (4-6 inches) work for jewelry, rings, or trinkets on nightstands or dressers. Medium boxes (8-12 inches) suit coffee table organization, desk supplies, or keepsakes. Large boxes (12+ inches) work for blanket storage, magazine organization, or as statement pieces on console tables. Nesting boxes offer versatility—use together for impact or separately throughout your home. Consider what you'll store when choosing sizes.
Can decorative boxes be used for storage?
Absolutely! That's their beauty—they combine function with aesthetics. Use for jewelry, watches, cufflinks, small accessories, office supplies, remote controls, charging cables, keys, mail, cosmetics, or keepsakes. Boxes with compartments organize smaller items efficiently. Lidded boxes conceal clutter while maintaining a curated look. Choose boxes that complement your decor so storage becomes part of your design rather than hidden away.
How do I care for decorative boxes?
Dust regularly with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For wood boxes, use furniture polish occasionally to maintain luster. For lacquered boxes, wipe with a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately—avoid harsh cleaners. For metal boxes, polish with appropriate metal cleaners. For woven or natural fiber boxes, vacuum or brush away dust. Avoid placing in direct sunlight to prevent fading. Handle with care—many decorative boxes are artisan-crafted pieces.
