Light fronts that open up a room.
On a chest of drawers, white does more than add colour: it catches daylight and gives it back to the room, calms small spaces and lets wooden floors, stone and coloured walls stand out. Here you will find 22 designs available in white, styled in bedroom, hallway, living room and dining room. Each picture opens the white version of the piece straight away.
In the morning the light falls on the fronts first: at the foot of the bed or next to the window, a white chest of drawers brightens the bedroom without making it feel cold – especially against warm plaster, oak and linen.

Almost every design on this page comes in a white similar to RAL 9016 (traffic white): Novamobili calls it “300 Bianco” (matt) and “400 Bianco” (high gloss), Capo d´Opera “GN1 Weiß”, Livitalia “Artico” or “matt white”. The Atena comes in “Bianco” with a melamine surface.
Depending on your screen and the light, white can look brighter or greyer in photos than in the room.

The wider the white surface, the more it shapes the wall: a narrow tall chest stays a light accent, a wide chest runs as a calm line beneath a picture or mirror.
Matt white looks calm and understated and hardly reflects at all; high-gloss white throws light back into the room. From Novamobili, Easy 2, Easy 3, Easy 4, Easy 6 and Easy 6 with coat rack come in both finishes – in high-gloss white from €869. Every other design here is matt.
Wall-hung, white looks lightest of all: beneath Easy 2, Easy 4 and the Ecletto wall-mounted chest the floor carries on and the piece seems to float in front of the wall. Another Day and Groove stand on slender legs, Quarantacinque and Sly on small feet, Atena and Square on a base.
On a white front every handle shows – which is why most of these designs do without: Easy opens via finger notches, Vela and Sly via recessed grips, Ecletto, Another Day and Quarantacinque with a push. Square deliberately sets small metal cup handles instead.
Hallways often get little daylight – which is exactly where white pays off most. A light chest next to the front door reflects the ceiling light and makes a narrow space look wider; a mirror above adds to the effect.
Against lime plaster, walnut or travertine, a white chest of drawers becomes a quiet counterpoint: it takes in the colours around it rather than competing with them and lets pictures, ceramics and lamps stand out more.
As a sideboard, white suits almost any tableware: decanters, glasses and coloured plates stand out clearly against light fronts. If you take out cutlery and napkins every day, matt white is a good choice – fingerprints usually show less on it than on high gloss.

Origin
Livitalia has been making furniture in Italy since 1968. Some of the white designs on this page – Ecletto, the Ecletto wall-mounted chest and Novamobili’s Easy 4 with coat rack – are only built once your order comes in.
Lacquer · board · surface
Whether a white front feels velvety or smooth depends on what lies beneath: matt-lacquered MDF at Capo d´Opera, water-based lacquer on Ecletto, a scratch-resistant, easy-care melamine layer on Atena.
According to the product descriptions: Atena with melamine coating; Another Day, Quarantacinque and Groove with sides and fronts in matt-lacquered MDF; Ecletto and Ecletto wall-mounted chest with water-based lacquer and class E1 panels; Easy 4 with coat rack with E1 panels and EU Ecolabel lacquer; made to order in Italy: Ecletto, Ecletto wall-mounted chest and Easy 4 with coat rack.
Of all furniture colours, white reflects the most light. That is why a white chest of drawers works so well in small or dark rooms – and looks almost weightless in bright ones. Whether it stands out or fades back depends on the wall behind it: against terracotta, sage or oak it reads as a clear shape, against a white wall it almost disappears.
Most designs here are lacquered in a white similar to RAL 9016 – a clean white without a noticeable yellow or blue cast. It sits well with off-white walls and oak as well as with grey and concrete. If the chest stands next to white doors or a white wall, look at the shade: either pick a very similar white or set a deliberate contrast with chalk white, sand or a strong colour.
Matt white diffuses light softly and stays calm even in sunshine. High gloss mirrors windows and lamps and livens up small rooms, but shows dust and fingerprints sooner. With Novamobili’s Easy 2, Easy 3, Easy 4, Easy 6 and Easy 6 with coat rack you can choose; the other designs on this page are matt.
For white lacquer and melamine, a soft, slightly damp cloth is usually enough day to day. Abrasive cleaners and rough sponges can polish matt surfaces to a shine and scratch glossy ones. According to the maker, the Atena has a scratch-resistant, easy-care melamine coating. The manufacturer’s care instructions always take precedence.
With oak flooring and linen, white looks bright and natural; with travertine and brass, elegant; against terracotta or ochre walls, warm and Mediterranean. Small details add accents: the metal cup handles of the Square, the grip strips of the Groove, the light profile around the fronts of the Quarantacinque.
The white tall chests on this page are 45 to 90 cm wide and 106 to 136.8 cm high – a light column for an alcove, a pier between windows or the end of a hallway. Wide white chests from 90 to 222.8 cm form a calm line along the wall. Narrow designs in every colour are in the category High chests of drawers, the whole range in the category Chests of drawers.
Apart from the Atena, every design is available in a white similar to RAL 9016 (traffic white). Each maker names it differently: Novamobili “300 Bianco” (matt) and “400 Bianco” (high gloss), Capo d´Opera “GN1 Weiß”, Livitalia “Artico” or “matt white”. The Atena is melamine-coated in “Bianco”, without a RAL reference.
Fingerprints and fine scratches usually show less on matt white; high gloss shows them sooner but wipes clean easily. Novamobili offers both finishes for Easy 2, Easy 3, Easy 4, Easy 6 and Easy 6 with coat rack, in high-gloss white from €869.
A soft, slightly damp cloth followed by a dry one is usually all you need. Avoid scouring cream, glass cleaner containing alcohol and rough sponges – they can polish matt lacquer and scratch high gloss. The manufacturer’s care instructions are what counts.
Yes – it steps back and the room feels more spacious. If you want the chest to read as a piece of furniture, add contrast: a warm colour such as terracotta, ochre or sand, wood panelling or a large picture above it, as in the rooms on this page.
Both light and dark wood: with oak, white looks fresh and natural, with walnut calmer and warmer. It also sits well on stone, tiles, travertine or concrete, because it does not cover up the texture of the floor.
The product photos of the Capo d´Opera designs in “Weiß GN1” look cooler and slightly grey because of the studio lighting; the room photos show white under warm light. Your screen and its brightness play a part too; at home, white looks warmer or cooler depending on the time of day.
Livitalia · since 1968
The beginning · 1968
Livitalia starts out in 1968 as a family business in Italy’s best-known furniture region. From the outset it is about furniture for everyday life: solidly built, clearly drawn and without frills.
Handwork
Many steps in production are still done by hand. That know-how passes from one generation to the next and is part of who the company is – Made in Italy in the true sense.
The guiding idea
Driven by that idea, the workshop grows step by step into an industrial company. Modular programmes for living and sleeping, a clear design language and work on new materials deliver quality at a fair price – and bring the furniture into homes across Europe.
Today
In northern Italy, Livitalia today works with computer-controlled machinery and checks every part it makes. The wood used is FSC®-certified from responsibly managed forests; the panels meet the CARB2 standard.
