If you love the look and versatility of dresser units but aren’t sure where to put one in your home, we have a few ideas you can use to help enhance the look of your home.
Hallways can be cold and uninviting for guests; adding a dresser to your hallway can make it feel more homely and improve the amount of storage space you have for keeping your keys and other items. Place picture frames, candles and other decorative items on a dresser to show guests your personality when they first enter your home. You can also keep things you need in a hurry when leaving the house inside the dresser unit. Torches, umbrellas, sunglasses, loose change, dog leads, stationary, spare keys and note pads are great items to keep next to the door, so you can find them when you are in a hurry.
Dressers also work well in the lounge; they can display decorative items such as plates, travel souvenirs and picture frames that depict memorable moments. If you have a spare corner or wall in your lounge that looks empty, you can fill the space with a decorative dresser. With a dresser unit in oak, you have a practical storage solution as well as a stylish unit that goes with just about any lounge decor. It can be hard to find a place to put decorative items or plants in the lounge without cluttering windowsills or putting shelves up; a stand-alone dresser unit is a perfect solution. You can buy dressers in many different shapes and sizes, some that neatly fit into the corner of the room and take up very little space.
Shelves are often used in studies or offices to store books and other items needed for work purposes. However, shelves are very open, and if you have a lot of messy files or things you want to hide out of view, they don’t offer this option. A dresser unit will provide space for you to display books out in the open, and you can also hide away items that you don't want to have on display. More people than ever are working from home; as part of this movement, people need additional space to work and store work-related items such as books and stationery. An old dresser no longer in use is the perfect solution for people working from home. Many employees also regularly talk to their colleagues or customers when working from home using video conferencing. Oak dresser units enable workers to hide items they don’t want to be displayed on the video whilst leaving work-related items and books out on show as a conversation starter as part of their video conferencing.
If you have limited storage space in your kitchen, a dresser unit can be used to store plates, cutlery, bowls, jugs and other kitchen equipment. Place your best and most decorative kitchen items on the shelves for display. You can use the cupboards on the dresser to store other kitchen equipment that you can’t fit in your cupboards. In addition to the extra storage space, you can also benefit from the work surface space that smaller dresser units provide. When preparing a large dinner or plating up for a family gathering, an extra work surface can be very valuable and make things much more manageable. You can also use the work surface space to put together a buffet-style dinner that people can help themselves to when they’re in the kitchen. Alternatively, you could use the workspace to display drinks and cups for a party or gathering of friends and family.
Dresser units are very versatile and can be used for several different rooms; these are just a few examples of dresser units' common placement and usage. They make an excellent place to display plants, and you can use the draws to store spare pots, food, and other items needed to look after the plants properly. Some people also add a dresser unit to their conservatory or sunroom. You can always find space in your house for another dresser unit; they look great, are timeless and provide a practical and decorative way to store items.
