Tips And Ideas For Dressers

Keep it neat

It might be tempting, but don’t use the top of the dresser as temporary storage. This will clutter your room.

Opt for maximum storage

Choose as much storage space as possible, so that the dresser can be used in the long term as your family grows.

Go lighter

As long as it matches your other furniture, paint your dresser a light color to make it look less imposing and bulky.

Have a system

Don’t be tempted to throw everything into the drawers. Come up with a plan for where and how you store items in your dresser.

Keep drawers closed

Keep dresser drawers shut to prevent anyone bumping into them. This will also make the room look less busy.
