Need to find dresser

5 months ago

Trying to find a dresser that would fit my bedroom (1st bedroom). I have attached two photos of dressers that I’m thinking about it.

It would be great to know if you think either one of these look good or if you can recommend other dressers.

Please disregard the mess in my bedroom. :)

    Maybe purchase nightstands before a dresser.

    I already have nightstands. They are in the picture.

    Compared to the headboard those nightstands are undersized.

    Yes, definitely understand. Thanks for the feedback. At this time. I would like to focus on the dresser.

    If you have any nightstand recommendation, feel

    I agree with all of Valinta's suggestions, though personally I would only recommend taller nightstands if you raise your mattress. Having the top of a nightstand significantly higher than the mattress surface can be uncomfortable when you are reaching for things.

    Here's an additional thought for consideration: Take all the clothing (and other items, if any) that you plan to store in your new dresser. Fold/stack/lay out the items as you plan to store them in each drawer. Measure aggregate length of each drawerful, depth, and height. You want to be sure that any dresser you buy will actually hold what you want it to hold, with enough extra room to make both storage and removal easy.

    If the dressers you are currently considering won't hold all your to-be-stored items, you can: (1) Get rid of items you don't really need, measure again, and see if that solves the problem. (2) Start looking for a dresser that will hold what you want it to hold. (You don't have to do (1), but this is a good opportunity to make sure you're not holding on to things you will never wear/use again anyway.)

    Based on the pictures you've posted alone, the Emma Mason looks attractive and reasonably practical, except that cleaning under it will take a little work. The Harway looks attractive, and you won't need to clean under it, but it looks impractical. How can you open the drawers?

    I love having pretty things, but if they don't work as I want them to, then they're not pretty enough for me.

    Thanks everyone. My bed is on a platform. Yes, it’s very low. I did that since my ceiling seems low to me. I have attached my floor plan. This bed is in the master bedroom. The windows are pretty low to the floor, so attaching a picture of how they look.

    Good idea about stacking my clothes and getting rid of some. I definitely need to do both.

    I see a walk-in closet space. That's where I'd like to put the dresser or an open shelf unit. Can you post pics of that closet? I like to keep open space in the bedroom for other options when possible.
