What should I consider when buying a dresser?

When buying a dresser, there are a few things to consider. First, think about the size of the dresser and how it will fit in your space. You'll also want to consider the style of the dresser and how it will fit in with your existing decor. Another important factor is the material the dresser is made from. Solid wood dressers are durable and long lasting, while dressers made from particleboard or MDF may not hold up as well over time. Finally, think about the storage capacity of the dresser and whether it will meet your needs.

What are the different types of dressers?

There are several different types of dressers to choose from. A standard dresser typically has six to nine drawers and is the most common type of dresser. A chest of drawers is taller and narrower than a standard dresser and typically has five to seven drawers. A lingerie chest is even taller and narrower than a chest of drawers and is designed to hold undergarments and other small items. Finally, a gent's chest is a large, tall dresser that typically has a combination of drawers and doors.

How do I care for my dresser?

To keep your dresser looking its best, there are a few things you can do. First, avoid placing your dresser in direct sunlight, as this can cause the finish to fade or discolor. You should also avoid placing hot or cold items directly on the surface of the dresser, as this can cause damage. Finally, be sure to dust your dresser regularly with a soft, dry cloth to keep it looking clean and polished. Size: Consider the size of the dresser and how it will fit in your space.

Long Dressers

Long Dresser

Long dressers are great for larger bedrooms or bedroom with one empty wall. They tend to have two sets of drawers side by side, and some may even have three, four or even five depending on the style. Long dressers tend to be low units, meaning they can be useful to display things at a lower level or to place mirrors on. Some are incorporated with built-in mirrors, making them ideal to double up as a dressing table when combined with an equally stylish chair if you have the space.

These longer styles of dressers don’t need to eat up all your floor space, even if you have a smaller bedroom. Many are lifted off the floor on legs, providing either a useful storage space or simply allowing the light to flow better around your room. Dressers don’t have to be used for just clothes, either. Some have many, smaller drawers- ideal for those who need places to store crafting equipment or collectibles. How about a dresser in the spare room to keep all those papers you need to keep hold of?

Choose natural wood to complement rustic bedrooms, or sleeker, varnished or painted pieces for more modern rooms. Now you just have to decide what to keep in it.
