Bedroom Dressers
How to Choose a Dresser
Since the dresser is one of the larger pieces in a bedroom set, it helps lay the foundation for the rest of the room. Used daily, they feature drawers that open smoothly and provide proper storage for your entire wardrobe and jewelry collection. Just like your clothes reflect your personal style, the color, size, and material of your dresser should coordinate with the rest of your room.
Size
Finding the right size for your room is key to maintaining an open, inviting space. If you have ample closet space, a smaller piece may be all you need. On the other hand, a larger oversized double dresser with deep drawers makes up for a lack of available storage. Choose from 6, 7, and 9-drawers to fit any size bedroom. When deciding where your dresser fits best in your room, take into consideration the space you'll need to open the doors and drawers, and ensure you'll have ample access to cubbies.
Styles
Typically waist high and broad, standards have six to nine drawers. Conversely, low chests have three or more drawers stacked vertically or horizontally. You can also choose a tall, narrow armoire, which features hanging space, shelving, and drawers. Next, consider the style of the room. If you prefer a traditional look, consider a shaker or wide dresser with intricate designs, architectural flourishes, silver handles and detailed carvings to match. Contemporary styles are characterized as having clean geometric lines without much detail. They fit with changing trends because they do not have many embellishments, like mirrored dressers.
Colors and Finishes
Wood dressers can be stained or painted. You can go with weathered or light stains, like honey or pine, or dark brown finishes, like espresso, chestnut, or walnut, depending on the existing furniture in the room. Painted ones can offer a fun pop of solid or combo of multiple colors, or add a simple elegance to farmhouse decor. Choose from popular colors including:
Also, be sure to pay attention to the hardware, as it can often be removed and changed. This is a nice, subtle way to update your room.
Materials
Hardwoods, like oak, walnut, and mahogany, make attractive and durable dressers. On the other hand, veneer or wood composite dressers are smart choices for buyers on a budget who still want the look and finish of solid, natural wood. We offer dressers for sale with prices:
