How To Pick the Ideal Dresser for Your Bedroom
In any bedroom, one of the most essential furniture pieces is the dresser, second only to the bed. It has the all important role of keeping clothes, linens, lingerie and other items neatly organized and stored away. When choosing a dresser for your bedroom you should invest great care in order to make sure it will offer you great functionality and be able to harmonize with your existing bedroom theme.
A good way to start is by deciding what the ultimate purpose of your dresser is going to be. In a large, spacey bedroom where there is plenty of storage solutions in the form of wardrobes, bedside trunks and other furniture, one might consider a dresser as only a cute focal point. Or perhaps you need a dresser to rest your make-up mirror and create your own special vanity spot? You should also ask yourself how much storage you truly need and whether you should consider basic units with no additional features, or explore the wide range of dressers with mirrors for sale.
Usually, dressers have two or three columns of equal drawers. Some feature only one or two rows of drawers, allowing for a small chair to get tucked in the empty space between the dresser’s feet, while some have drawers that reach the floor. Some dressers can have equal sized drawers, while others may have deeper drawers at the bottom, convenient for storing sweaters or other bulky items. If you have expensive jewellery you want preserved, there are also drawers that have special velvet lining.
Many dressers come with a complementing mirror included. And for a woman, there’s no greater ally to her good looks than a dresser with a large mirror where she can do her hair and make-up in the morning. Some might ask Isn’t that what the bathroom mirror is for? But anyone who is living with another person will tell you that it doesn’t work that way. In the morning, when everyone is rushing to get ready, whether for school or for work, hogging the bathroom is a selfish thing to do. Combined with a cute ottoman or small chair, a dresser with a mirror can become your private vanity corner. Instead of making people angry, you can do your make-up routine completely stress-free and seated for greater balance and precision. There are many dressers with mirrors for sale that are specifically designed for make-up needs, featuring integrated lighting or make up boxes.
The range of dressers is incredibly varied, with models featuring different colours and finishes. The more you finalize your decision and know what you want before you go shopping, the less stressful your purchase will be. Remember to measure the space you want to place the dresser because it will determine its size and shape. Also consider placing it next to a wall, or at a spot in the bedroom where you can’t accidentally bump a hip into it in the dark. If you have small children, look for a model with rounded corners and knobs so that they can’t hurt themselves. Regarding materials, the choice ranges between solid wood, laminate or wood with veneers. Wooden dressers are usually more durable than those made out of wood, making them a good long term investment. Thoroughly explore your options to find a dresser you’ll absolutely love.
