Incorporating Dressers Into Every Room.
Maybe it’s because we spent so many years living in Manhattan and Hoboken (nothing like a small one or two bedroom apartment to really make you appreciate space!), but storage options are important to me and therefore it’s always something that I work into every design of mine.
Regardless of the room, you’ll likely find that I’ve snuck in a statement dresser or two for concealed storage. Bedrooms are the obvious room but often times, I’ll use two smaller dressers in a bedroom to act as bedside tables because who doesn’t love a ton of storage for all of your bedside essentials?!
A dresser in the entryway can be the perfect home for cold weather gear (hats, scarves, gloves), pet essentials or anything else you might need as you walk out the door. We have a small dresser by our front doos where I store all of our candles and hats!
An older Pottery Barn dresser that’s been discontinued, unfortunately.
A dresser in a breakfast nook can provide storage for extra table linens, entertaining pieces or in the case of my own home, art supplies (our kids love to draw or paint at our kitchen table so I love to have everything close-by for them).
An RH Teen dresser that has been discontinued.
A dresser in the living room can hold everything from toys and games, to spare throw blankets or candles. Invest in something that you absolutely love and can transition over the years based on your everyday routine and how you host.
And lastly, I’ve even used dressers in home offices for extra storage. If you have the room for one, it can be the perfect spot to store extra office supplies and display favorite or meaningful items.
Below are a few favorite pieces that I’ve used in recent projects and absolutely love. A statement dresser can be such a fun way to add personality and interest to a room (while also being incredibly useful):
