So, you love the unique nature of Bombe chests, but you're looking for something more contemporary or maybe just more adventurous. Consider a painted bombe chest.

Painted bombe chests may represent a modern departure from the traditional wood finish of classic bombe chests. However, that is not to say they are any less impressive in appearance. The bombe chest's regal appearance makes it a standout piece in any room. Painted bombe chests come in a wide variety of choices and can greatly enhance any room.

Accent-painted bombe chests are typically finished in the classic fashion and are adorned with painted accents. Floral or bird motifs are common, and the designs are usually on the front and sides of the accent-painted bombe chest.

Solid-painted bombay chests may be in almost any color. Often they are painted to give the appearance of antiqued or distressed wood. They can also be painted in any shade of fashionable color. Their painted surfaces may be accented by classically stained and finished wood.

Asian-painted bombe chests are perhaps the most regally adorned of all the bombe chests. They depict the ancient Chinoiserie style of painting reflecting Chinese qualities or motifs. Floral, bird or warrior scenes are depicted over richly finished wood.

Tropical-painted bombe chests are typically painted with images of exotic animals, such as lions and tigers. They may also feature tropical plants or palms on their sides and fronts. These bold designs stand out as the focal point of the bombe chest and provide a splash of color in the room.

Regardless of which type of painted bombe chest you fancy, make sure it will be in harmony with the rest of the room's decor. These bold bombe chests stand out from the rest of the furnishings. It's important that they heighten rather than detract from the room.
