Dresser Color for Bedroom

7 years ago
last modified: 7 years ago

I've got a white cottage style bed frame from Crate and Barrel and 2 shabby chic white nightstands with french style applique. All 3 are pure white--not distressed at all. My friend said to get a gray dresser to have a pop of color. There are 2 dressers on the Houzz site that I was was eyeing--one is a distressed [white distressed dresser and the other is blue https://www.houzz.com/products/monaco-5-drawer-chest-prvw-vr~85271468[(https://www.houzz.com/products/chalet-white-bedroom-chest-prvw-vr~92538477)

What do you think or neither? Any suggestions?

Thanks!

    I'd go thrift store shopping. The distressed picture looks terribly fake. Find something with real character. When you find the right vintage dresser, you'll know it and won't have to think about whether it is white, wood, grey, or another color.
