The trunk can be used as a table in most any room of the house, as long as the room is big enough to hold the trunk and still be able to walk around it. If the room is not big enough to hold the trunk and walk around it, it may be used as an end table. What the trunk is made of may help determine what style of room it will best fit in. If it is a traditional trunk it will fit best in a room with classic décor. A new age trunk will look great in a modern style room.

A great benefit of using a trunk as a table would be the storage factor. A trunk obviously can hold a great deal of items as this is the trunks main purpose. Extra storage is a great plus for any room, in any house. The great thing about using the trunk as a table in a room such as the living room is that there is out of sight storage in a room that typically has none. Items such as games can be easily reached when entertaining guests. Since the trunk is so big it will hold much more than just games. This would be an excellent place to store additional items such as blankets and pillows. If the trunk is in a room with a TV or stereo, CDs or DVDs could also be stored here. In addition to storing things inside the trunk, it can also be used to place things on top of. Drinks, candles, books or magazines can be placed on top of the trunk.
There are two basic types of trunks, the hump back and the flat top. If you are going to want to place items on top of the trunk, you obviously do not want to buy a hump back trunk. The least expensive way to add a trunk to your home would be to inherit one from a family member. Not only will this be inexpensive it will also come with a background, becoming a great story to tell guests. If obtaining a trunk from a family member is not an option, the only other choice is to purchase. New trunks can be purchased at many furniture or home décor stores. If price is an issue buying one from a second hand store, antique shop or local auction would be a great alternative. With the addition of the trunk, the room will now have character and possibly a conversation piece.
