Trunks have been around for ages in terms of storage for a plethora of items, whether it be clothes, shoes, housewares, etc. They all open, and they all store something, but does the trunk itself have to be plain? No, there are plenty of fun options for trunks to spruce up any area of your special space. Instead of storing children's toys in a toy chest, try a vintage trunk, and spruce it up with a fun color. Your kids will love it, and you still might look like a civilized adult during cocktail parties, and not like Elmo's gatekeeper.
See below for trunks in fun colors and some with vintage written charm!

Trunks can also be used as replacements for "typical" case goods throughout the home. You could use a decent sized trunk as an end table or even a coffee table, potentially even by stacking a couple of smaller trunks on top of each other.
See below a few examples from Pottery Barn on how trunks are used as end tables and coffee tables...

Everyone needs storage, and as neat and clean as you want to make your space, you're always going to have clutter, so why not stash it in style?
Happy Trunk Hunting!
