No. You won't be able to open the chest if something is on top of it.
I understand that, but I've seen people do it on YouTube with no explanation as to how it was done. I was hoping someone that knows what I am talking about could help me.
For now. Until that is changed, you have two options:
1. Diagonally.
2. One on the top of the other (spaced).
Instead of the air space you can place a stair on top of the chest. The chest thinks its a transparent block. (and if you place it backwards on top of it, it just looks like a regular block)

*facepalm* I just remembered that. I will add that to my post.
I have 112 double chests, I believe, alternating on a 4-block high wall. Not every item is duped, such as craftable items like armor and weapons. Since you can only fit 2 chests in a 4-block column, the two stair blocks get signs... so every chest gets a label. I didn't use torches, I put glowstone above in the ceiling and below in the floor to light the signs.
It's the ideal method IMO. Everybody loves my spawn.

How many Dragon Ball Z characters does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
Just one, but it takes ten episodes.
This is my current setup in a community house to store all the mushroom stew I make using our mushroom farm. It requires some extra work with the wall adding a second layer to each side but I believe this maximizes storage space. This is what I have inside my community house on my map which doesn't use up all the space but goes a bit higher and leaves room for crafting tables and furnaces.
How it works is quite simple, just place the outies first then remove the blocks behind the outies then place the innies under so that there's always that empty space for the chests to open. Though I guess one could use stairs as well to cover up the empty space that you most likely wont see but if you can see the space there the staircase might bother you too since you'll see the whole thing.

Thank you.

For now. Until that is changed, you have two options:
1. Diagonally. The blank block is a variable.
2. One on the top of the other (spaced). The air block is also interchangeable with transparent ones (Slabs, Stairs, etc.) for the effect of a shelf.

I duped every item in the game (except golden apples) and have a double chest of each surrounding the 20x20 spawn.
I stacked them with stairs (which are "translucent" and allow chests to open into them) as shown in this great thread (see very first picture):

In my opinion.
