Dressers & Chests

The storage system that you choose for your bedroom is an important aspect that should be properly thought out. This functional item should be capacious, stylish and yet it shouldn’t overcrowd a room’s space. If you will make the right choice it will provide your future comfort and will help you to get rid of the disorder.

And to find the right dresser or chest you should consider some aspects that we will discuss below.

How to choose Dresser and Chest?

The first aspect that you should think about is the size and item’s place in the room. First of all, consider the room’s measurements when you decide where will be your future chest or dresser. If you want a large chest it better to be placed near the shortest wall, if you want a low and long model better think about placing it in the corner. Distance between the storage piece and bed should be no less than one meter, and doors should be opened freely without meeting any obstacles on the way.

You should be able to get something from the higher shelves, so choose the chest’s height considering this aspect. But if you will choose a dresser which configuration is lower, you shouldn’t think about its height much but pay attention more to its length and width. It should correspond with the place you have chosen for it.

Materials

Solid wood
