There’s something quite special about a well-loved vintage trunk. Perhaps it’s the history and character it brings, or the many ways to use this versatile item in a space. At Winter Bear Home, we’re always drawn to those pieces that offer both charm and function—and the humble trunk does exactly that, so we love it when clients ask us to restore or refinish one for their home!
Whether it’s nestled at the end of a bed filled with blankets and bedding, standing in as a rustic coffee table, or serving as a toy trunk in a kids room, a trunk is endlessly versatile. What’s more, trunks are a beautiful way to hide the everyday. Toss in the toys, fold away the guest bedding, or keep your favourite board games close but out of sight. It’s tidy storage, but with character.
We think every home has a corner just waiting for a piece like this. A little bit practical, a little bit nostalgic—and a whole lot lovely. If you’re considering a trunk for your home and need a bit of inspiration, here’s a few of our favourites that we have worked on for clients over the years!
