Choosing A Dresser To Complement Your Bedroom Décor

For most people, a dresser is one of the most important elements of a bedroom. It serves several practical purposes, say for instance – the chest of drawers provide storage option for linens, lingerie etc and its top can be used to place lamps and chatzkies of all forms. A dresser that is well built can be passed on to successive generations.

If you're in the market for a new bedroom dresser, make sure you consider the signs of quality materials and construction. There are many steps you can take to find the right dresser for your bedroom, including measuring the available space, assessing your storage needs, and deciding what style best suits your bedroom’s furnishings.

• Size: Measure the amount of space in bedroom you would like the dresser to occupy. This would include the height, width, and depth. If you are planning to place the dresser in a corner, check if doors allow adequate space when opened. 
• Style: Dresser styles can be divided into four basic categories: 

1. Traditional: Traditional dressers feature intricate designs, and detailed carvings in deep, rich wood tones.
2. Contemporary: These dressers feature clean, geometric lines, and are usually free of added ornamentation
3. Modern: Modern furniture often features asymmetrical lines and sleek surfaces that emphasize form and function, without any added decoration.
4. Country: Country-style dressers are rustic in appearance. They usually feature natural wood finishes, and can either be casually simple or carved with craftsman-style detail.

• Material:  Choose a dresser that is sturdy and well-constructed. Prefer the one made from durable wood and having drawers of varying depths for extra storage. Other materials you can find are bamboo, wicker, and glass. It is advised to go for wood as it is the sturdiest material, but those who can’t afford it, can opt for its counterparts.

You may even opt to purchase entire bedroom furniture set to ensure that each furniture piece matches perfectly. These sets tend to include the bed frame, nightstand and dresser, although other pieces may be available depending on the set.
