A well-chosen dresser can truly make all the difference in a home. Versatile and with a timeless charm, this piece of furniture is making a comeback with a contemporary twist and fits into various settings, from the hall to the living room, and even the kitchen. But where should you put the dresser? And how can you make the best of aesthetics and functionality?
Also referred to as a cupboard, the dresser was traditionally a kitchen staple, primarily used to keep bread and other food items fresh. Today, the dresser acts as a storage unit, boasting quite generous interiors. What has changed, however, is the design: there are linear and minimal dressers, models with more traditional shapes featuring decorated doors, or even ultra-modern options with sophisticated finishes.
If you’re wondering where you should put a dresser, the first option is without a doubt the living room. A common practice, in fact, is to set it against the main wall, possibly below a wall-mounted TV or adjacent to a bookcase. The living room dresser thus transforms into an ideal centrepiece for showcasing decorative items, art books, or plants, as well as a friend of organisation: drawers and interior compartments allow you to keep blankets, documents, dishes, or even old cables, depending on your needs.
Thanks to its style, the dresser can also be used to furnish your hall, making a great impression on visitors and offering a place to put keys, bags, shoes... Basically, everything that would otherwise be strewn around the house. An extra tip: if space is tight, go for a long and slim dresser, perhaps with sliding doors, to optimise the throughway.
What better way to add a touch of character to your dining or cooking area than with a kitchen dresser? Let's go back to the roots, when the dresser was connected to the preparation and preservation of food: in a modern kitchen, this piece of furniture easily fits against a free wall, serving as an extra larder for plates, pans, jars, and keeping utensils neat and tidy.
The dresser, therefore, turns out to be a truly versatile piece of furniture for every room: a living room dresser brings tidiness and adds a touch of style, a hall dresser welcomes and organises, while a kitchen dresser evokes the past with a contemporary twist.
