It's important to put some thought into your furniture. You've already chosen the colour - simple, clean white. However, before you make your decision about which model to buy, there are some things to consider.

• What are you going to store? If you're going to put bedding, blankets, coats, or anything thick or heavy inside, you'll want deep, wide drawers. If it's for underwear and light clothes, then smaller drawers will be fine.
• What about height? A low chest of drawers gives you extra space, as you can use the top as a shelf. A taller chest may look better, though, depending on the surrounding furniture.
• How many people will be sharing the chest? Choose a number of drawers which will make sharing space easy. If you have three kids and choose a two-drawer unit for the nursery, this may lead to arguments down the line.
• What does the rest of your furniture look like? Traditional styles will suit chests with knobs and handles, while handle-free units look good in contemporary settings.

If you can't find new white high gloss chests of drawers, then a second-hand unit can be a really good buy. However, the white finish may look a little grotty with age. Wet any discoloured areas with clean water, then buff gently with a soft microfibre cloth. If this isn't enough to get stains out, it's better to apply a fresh coat of paint than try a chemical cleaner, which will just make the situation worse.

High gloss furniture does require regular attention. The good news is that a little goes a long way. Wipe away any fingerprints with a soft cloth, and dust regularly with a microfibre cloth or feather duster. You won't need much more than that, and harsh cleaning products should never be used. Clean up any spills as soon as they happen, to avoid long-term problems.

Anything. The most important thing is not to overload the individual drawers. If the base is thin, then it can get damaged and break over time, so don't put too heavy a load inside.
