Dresser Decorating Tips

Dressers can be decorated to match any style or decor with a few simple steps

Decorating your bedroom dresser is a simple and effective way to dress up a plain looking dresser or add the final touch to the room it's in. Decorating your dresser can be as simple as adding something to the top, like a glass vase or picture, or more complex as in enhancing the exterior appearance of it.

Simple dresser makeover tips
Adding a quick makeover to your bedroom dresser can be an inexpensive way to add a bit more style to the overall look of your room. A quick dresser makeover can also be a fun family activity to do with children for their dressers.

For a child's room, decals and other stickers can add a nice touch and can serve as a reminder of the drawer's contents.

Edging along the top or bottom of your dresser can offset harsh lines and give your room a more subtle look.

The top of your dresser is for more than just loose change. Arrange some favorite pictures, glass ware, or even flowers to add an eye-catching feature.

Swaths of fabric or carpet can also be adhered to your dresser in a pattern, or even randomly, to add more color to the rest of the room.

For dressers with mirrors, add pictures or other designs to the edging of the mirror.

Dresser lifts can be purchased that install on the bottom of dressers that don't have legs.

Dressers can also be remade, to a degree, to accommodate the look you're trying to achieve in your home. If done well and with a quality piece of furniture, this can become a family heirloom or at least one of the most personal pieces of furniture in the home.

Dressers made from wood can be finished or stained to match other furniture in the bedroom. Some furniture, including bedroom dressers, is sold unfinished so it can later be finished with the appropriate stain.

For a young child's room, try a chalk board dresser. Chalkboard paint is available that can be applied to nearly surface. This paint allows the surface to function as a regular chalkboard.

Simple paint, in the color of your choice, can be one of the easiest ways to decorate your dresser.
