The bedroom dresser is a classic piece of bedroom furniture that, in addition to the bed, is both practical and becomes the real focal point of the room. Whether you’re using the top of a chest of drawers, a vintage desk, or a specially designed item, a dresser will look cutest if it helps with a little styling. It’s easy for everyday clutter to take over the surface, but it does detract from the tranquil atmosphere in your bedroom. Instead, make it look beautiful – and hide all the clutter in the drawer. Try out these styling ideas.
Without much space for your makeup supplies, you should find it easy to maintain a dresser as stylish as this one. (You may find that those drawers, when opened, fanned subtly towards the floor, hide a lot of evil.) That’s the secret of many minimalists: hidden spaces are crammed with garbage.)
Choosing a piece of furniture with this style will give you a head start. But there’s also a simple styling trick here: a picture, a tall thing, and a low one.
You can lean the artwork against the wall behind the dresser or hang it. Then pair it with two delightful objects of different heights. (It’s as simple as a book and a vase of flowers here.) Make sure these items are not in the center of the artwork. Mission accomplished. It’s really that simple. Combine the colors in the object with the colors in the artwork to get Venus.
Trays have the magical ability to make all sorts of different objects look purposeful and, in a way, more beautiful.
This medieval dresser was most likely originally a table. Desks can make great dressers because they often come with drawers where you can hide all your unsightly stuff, leaving room on the tray for a selection of beautiful items.
Flowers should not be reserved for taking photos and visiting guests. This is where you start your day – flowers are good for the soul, so treat yourself!
Black lacquered surfaces are often a good base for creating captivating scenes. Black and white photographs of glamorous Hollywood icons continue this theme.
Other key charm symbols here include strings of pearls, silver boxes and a classic boutique hotel favourite, the short-stemmed white rose flower arrangement. A strict color palette will also help you achieve the look – here it is monochrome, but you can choose all white, white and shades of gold or gray or all neutrals. Be sure to keep the colors pastel.
There’s a lot to this dresser’s arrangement, as well as some quirky stylistic ideas, but the order in which everything comes together gives it the vibe of a mini art installation.
The lampshade is the offbeat highlight here – choose one such object and let it glow, rather than crowding it out with other strong statements. Everything else on the table is related to the color or finish around the room, so the display isn’t as obtrusive as it might seem at first glance.
The jewelry is carefully arranged on an unusual layered glass shelf, and “careful” is the key word: a display like this one is too full, or a string of necklaces spills over the edges, and the subtlety quickly turns messy.
Three unusually shaped glass jewelry boxes would be a similarly styled display idea – you might even try repurposing a small glass container or two. Choose small children or those with multiple compartments to avoid too much bling. Staggered in size and full of restraint.
A wooden dresser from the 20s or 30s of the 40th century, which is in good condition, hardly needs any styling. A simple framed photo enhances the effect of this photo. Do you have a favorite black and white photo of your grandparents or your mother when she was younger? It’s lovely to gaze at it when you’re ready, and in this case it looks just like at home. Look for a picture frame that is right for the era to show it. Pair it with a simple jewellery box or a small vase (lilacs will do) or a scented candle, then tuck everything else into the spacious drawer of your vintage creations, out of sight.
Starting from the center and showing it outward, as shown in the picture, is a smart move to create a formal look.
Mirrors and mirror boxes are framed by glass candlesticks; This allows other items (all lower than candles) to build on each side, and more mirroring occurs in the white flowers. A symmetrical centerpiece like this only acts as an anchor, and it can make the surrounding scatter of less formal objects look well-arranged.
Also pay attention to the use of colors here: everything is pale pink, peach, off-white or has a transparent or reflective finish, but there are also a lot of interesting textures.
Furniture like this unusual chest of drawers can present three unique vignettes, one on each floor.
If you have drawers of different colors or busy units like this, be aware that keeping the monitor in the same color palette really helps it look better and not cluttered.
As already mentioned, sending flowers is a Xi worth cultivating. You don’t need to spend a fortune – three stems, once a week or even less, and that’s it.
Tip: If you’re wondering how to make your flowers look as cute as they see in these rooms: pluck all the leaves below the top of the container you want to put in. It may seem brutal, but just take a look at this example and see how it gives a flower a professionally arranged look. The stems are then crossed so that they support each other. Change the water daily to maximize the lifespan of the flowers, and add a drop of bleach to the water, which will prevent bacteria that cause the flowers to rot.
In a tight space, a wall-mounted dresser or drawer may be the answer. To keep things sleek and streamlined, don’t let the styling be too fussy. Here you can see how simple it is to create a focal point that remains functional.
A mirror, a vase with a leaf in it, and a framed photograph – that’s it. Everything else can be hidden in a drawer for easy access. Keep this in mind if you want a minimalist look and consider using the shelf as a dresser or dressing area – where will you store the items you use every day?
