Using chalk paint seems to be the answer these days! So many pretty colors and you can also distress, add a colored wax, new hardware, and even rub on stencils! I also paint the drawers and line with pretty Contac paper Here's a pretty one!

Are you referring to a chest of drawers? If yes paint and change out the hardware. Hobby Lobby has a lot of choices and can send in the mail.
Sometimes ,just changing the pulls/knobs is enough. You could also refinish or paint it. Here's one I did:

The Unfinished Chest of Drawers
Update the hardware. Replace a drawer with baskets. Paint part of it and leave part of it stained.
You could paint it and use transfer designs, here are some beautiful ones:

I love painting furniture to give it a more upscale look. I have several posts on my site with different types of paint. If you want to do it fast use spray paint but if you want a beautiful farmhouse look try milk paint or chalk paint. Here are a few posts.

Hello the most common trend nowadays is to use chalk paint. Are you considering painting your piece?
Painting, decoupage, refinishing and staining would all give a new look. Changing out the hardware is another great way. Good luck and stay safe!
