A hutch in the bedroom? Why not? It's a great use of space for displaying vintage or breakable items, a few books, a stuffed friend or artwork. You could also use small bins on the shelves for additional storage. Oeuf's Shaker-inspired furniture is decidedly modern, but we love how the rich walnut and birch woods they use here add warmth and integrity.

This is actually two separate pieces - a 4-drawer dresser which can be used as a changing table and an optional hutch 3-shelf hutch. Not surprisingly, the cost ($1,100 for the dresser, $480 for the hutch, either available in birch or walnut with white lacquer) makes them an investment piece, but there's nothing childish about these pieces and they could be used for decades.
