I absolutely love vintage trunks and suitcases. I find they are not only terrific for storage, but are great complements to any decor.
Trunks like this one can fit in a tight space and display an assortment of personal collectibles.
Although nothing new, a trunk still makes a great coffee table.
A leather trunk can take the place of a side table and…
…so can a stack of vintage suitcases!
A decoupaged trunk continues the romantic feel of this girl’s bedroom.
This decidedly more masculine bedroom has a great antique leather trunk at the foot of the bed.
Built-in closets leave an exposed area on top where the owner has stored numerous trunks and suitcases.
This bedroom uses a niche for a fun collection of trunks and suitcases.

oooh that top photo is AMAZING!!
I swore by this when I lived in a studio apartment in nyc. Still love the look. (I have trouble staying away from old suitcases at the flea market…)
I love them too! We have one bit like the trunk in the first picture…
