A good dresser does more than give you somewhere to put your clothes. It helps keep the bedroom organized and gives everyday essentials a proper place to live.Use well-sized drawers to keep folded clothing, sleepwear, accessories, and smaller bedroom essentials organized and within easy reach.

Our collection of bedroom dressers and chests of drawers includes different sizes, shapes, and layouts, making it easier to find a piece that works with your room rather than making the room work around it.

Whether you're furnishing a primary bedroom, adding storage to a guest room, or trying to make the most of a smaller space, you'll find dresser options designed for different needs.

Tall Dressers for Smaller Bedrooms

When floor space is limited, going upward can make more sense than going wider. A tall dresser, also commonly called a chest of drawers, gives you plenty of drawer storage while taking up a relatively small footprint.

Its vertical design makes it useful for bedrooms with narrow walls, limited floor space, or layouts where a wide dresser would make the room feel crowded.

When choosing a tall dresser, consider:

• A width that fits comfortably along your available wall
• Several drawers for keeping different types of clothing organized
• Smooth, sturdy drawer hardware for everyday use
• Enough surface space for a lamp, books, or a few personal touches

Double Dressers for More Storage

If you have more wall space to work with, a double dresser can give you considerably more room for clothing and bedroom essentials. Its wider, lower design keeps the drawers easy to reach and works particularly well in larger primary bedrooms.

A double dresser can also be useful when two people are sharing a bedroom and need separate drawer space.

Depending on your setup, you might consider:

• Six- or nine-drawer dressers for larger wardrobes
• Wide dressers with plenty of surface space
• Dresser and mirror combinations for a coordinated setup
• Low-profile dressers that can also accommodate a television
• Matching bedroom storage pieces for a more consistent look
  

Modern Dressers for Contemporary Bedrooms

A modern dresser can help bring a cleaner, more streamlined feel to the bedroom. These designs often feature simple silhouettes, understated hardware, smooth drawer fronts, and finishes that don't compete with the rest of the room.

That doesn't mean modern dressers have to look stark. Wood finishes, textured surfaces, warm tones, and different hardware styles can all add personality while keeping the overall design simple.

Choose a dresser that complements your bed, nightstands, flooring, and other furniture, or use a contrasting finish to make the dresser a focal point.

How to Choose the Right Dresser

Your bedroom dresser should offer the storage you need while fitting comfortably into your room. Consider your available space, drawer capacity, and the items you plan to organize before choosing one.

Consider your storage needs. If you have a larger wardrobe or are sharing the dresser with someone else, a wider double dresser may be the better option. For lighter storage needs, a smaller dresser can be more practical.

Look at your room layout. Measure the wall where the dresser will sit and consider how much space you'll need to open the drawers comfortably. A tall dresser can work well where width is limited, while a double dresser needs more horizontal space.

Think about the room's size. A tall dresser can make better use of vertical space in a compact bedroom. If you have a larger primary bedroom, a double dresser can provide generous storage without looking out of proportion.

Match or mix your furniture. Matching your dresser with your bed and nightstands creates a coordinated bedroom. If you prefer a more collected look, choose a contrasting finish or style that still works with the rest of your furniture.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is there any difference between a dresser and a chest of drawers?

The terms are often used interchangeably, but there is usually a difference in shape. A dresser tends to be wider and lower, while a chest of drawers is generally taller and narrower.

2. What is the best number of drawers for a bedroom dresser?

Your storage needs will determine which size and drawer configuration works best. A six-drawer dresser is a common choice for everyday clothing, while a larger nine-drawer design can provide more room for shared wardrobes or bigger collections of clothing.

3. Is it okay to use a dresser as a TV stand?

Yes, a wide, low dresser can work well as a TV stand as long as its dimensions and weight capacity are suitable for your television. The added drawers can also provide useful storage for electronics and other items.

4. Do I need a matching mirror for my dresser?

No. A matching mirror can create a coordinated bedroom setup, but it's completely fine to use a dresser on its own, especially if you already have a wall mirror or another mirror in the room.

5. Which size dresser is Good for a small bedroom?

A tall, narrow dresser is often a practical choice because it uses vertical space while keeping more floor area available. Before buying, measure the available wall and make sure there's enough clearance to open the drawers fully.
