Dressers come in a variety of finishes and sizes.

Popular Finishes for Bedroom Dressers

The most important factor when selecting your dresser is the finish, does it match your existing bedroom décor. You probably don't want a mixture of odd furniture pieces in your bedroom (although this is a growing trend), in which case you should narrow your search to finishes and tones that already exist in your bedroom.

The Classic Finishes for Dressers

It’s not at all surprising that white and black are the most popular finishes for bedroom dressers. A white dresser offers that romantic princess look, as well as the cottage coastal theme that many designers love. White also can make objects look larger, making your room feel bigger overall.

Black on the other hand offers a clean cut, look. Sometimes a black dresser can give have an ebony appearance, but can give a room a modern look and feel as well as an East Asian flair. Another popular finish is the American classic of unfinished pine, for a minimalistic or even rustic look.

Many of our black, white, and unfinished pieces are a part of our antique dresser category. Typically more expensive, an antique dresser can be a beautiful addition to a new or older home.

The smallest dressers, 3 drawer dressers, are recommended for kids and for those that don't have a lot of space for extra storage. They are also great as additional bedroom storage. A closet, or a wardrobe armoire is recommended for those considering a three drawer dresser.
