Dressers for the Living Room, Bedroom, and Hallway
A dresser is one of the few pieces of furniture that combines ample storage with a decorative top. It hides away what you don’t want on display while providing space for a lamp, vase, or photos – making it suitable for almost any room.
At Eye on Design, you will find wooden, lacquered, and veneered dressers, available in low and tall versions, with drawers and doors.
Dresser in the Living Room
In the living room, a dresser often stands opposite the sofa or against a side wall. It’s worth choosing one that matches the height of the TV cabinet to create a cohesive look, and hanging a mirror, graphic, or shelf above it.
The top of the dresser is a natural place for decorations – best arranged in groups of two or three items of varying heights: a table lamp, a vase, and a tray for small items.
Dresser in the Bedroom
In the bedroom, a dresser takes on the role of a wardrobe for folded clothes. Deeper models with wide drawers are more convenient, as they can hold more than just a few narrow ones. It’s worth matching it to the nightstands and bed, repeating the color of the wood or handles.
Dresser in the Hallway
In the hallway, depth and width are key – in a narrow corridor, a shallow dresser with a depth of 30–35 cm or a console works better, as it doesn’t narrow the passage.
The entire entryway area will be complemented by a coat rack, a mirror, and a bench for putting on shoes.
Drawers or Doors?
Drawers make it easy to access items at the back – just pull them out. Doors are better for larger, irregular items and for storing equipment. Many models combine both solutions.
Before purchasing, check if there is enough space in front of the dresser for the drawer to be fully extended – this is a common issue in narrow rooms. You can find more storage furniture in the cabinets and shelves category, including shelves and display cabinets and wardrobes.
Materials and Style
Wood and veneer fit well in Scandinavian and Japandi interiors, black and metal suit loft styles, while glossy fronts and metallic handles are perfect for glamour and modern classic aesthetics.
Dressers – Frequently Asked Questions
What depth should a dresser for the hallway have?
In a narrow corridor, 30–35 cm is best – deeper models narrow the passage too much.
Dresser or wardrobe for the bedroom?
A dresser is better for folded clothes and provides additional surface space. A wardrobe is essential for hanging items.
At what height should I hang a mirror above the dresser?
Usually 15–25 cm above the top – this way, both elements are perceived as a whole, and the mirror isn’t too high relative to eye level.
