The best decorative boxes

Decorative boxes serve as elegant finishing touches to a well-thought-out room. They also help you organize and protect small objects like jewelry, office supplies, and even undergarments, for starters. To help you decide on the right decorative box for your home, here is our list of the best ones available.

Key factors for decorative boxes are size and construction. Opt for a material that complements the rest of the room or space. For instance, a ceramic or velvet box might look best on a vanity. On the other hand, a wooden or leather box would be best placed in a home office or living room. Other popular materials are glass, natural woven materials, and cardboard.

Another factor to consider is the interior of the box. Decorative boxes are usually made to house various items, but specialized ones like jewelry containers will have individual compartments and be made of softer material. Let’s take a look at our favorite picks.
