STAY ORGANIZED WITH OUR ELEGANT DRESSERS AND CHESTS
A bedroom as beautiful as it is comfortable and organized—that’s the dream. Over our 30+ years, Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams has curated a collection of essential bedroom furniture for creating a tranquil and personal bedroom retreat. Staying organized with great style is easy, thanks to our finely designed and expertly crafted contemporary dressers and chests.
What Are Bedroom Dressers and Chests?
Bedroom dressers traditionally are long storage pieces with six to eight deep drawers divided into two columns. The name stems from its original design: Many dressers came with a matching mirror mounted to the back so that a person could dress in front of it. Today’s modern dresser lets you select your own mirror from an abundance of styles. In addition to storage, they provide an expansive surface for a lamp, tray, jewelry case, photos, vases, or plants.
Another key form of bedroom storage is the chest, also called a bedroom chest of drawers. Distinctly different from a dresser in shape and form, this tall storage piece has a single column of drawers. Because of its narrower width, it can provide good storage in a smaller space. And it also bring a welcome element of height to a bedroom.
How to Choose Modern Dressers and Chests
Begin by measuring your bedroom to know how much space you have for storage pieces. We also recommend laying out your entire bedroom so you can envision how all the pieces will look in their place. You can do this by using the MG+BW Room Planner on our website.
Want Design Help? Simply schedule a free consultation with our design experts anytime. They can meet with you virtually, in one of our Signature Stores, or in the comfort of your home. They’re ready to assist you with projects large and small, from collaborating with you on a whole home to helping you choose a fabric for your sofa or upholstered bed.
If you are planning to get a new bed at the same time as your new bedroom storage, we recommend selecting the bed first and choosing storage in a size and style that works with it. Explore our upholstered bed collection for inspiration and options.
If you want a harmonious look, we suggest a bedroom furniture set, with the calming power of matching dressers, chests, and nightstands. Some of our collections also include matching beds, desk/vanities, bookcases, and mirrors. Keeping consistency among these pieces lets you get creative with other elements like your bed, bedding, lighting, and art without overwhelming your space.
When choosing a style or finish for your modern dresser, take into account the overall design of the room, including your color scheme. A modern dresser can be an unexpected way to bring in color. Our bedroom furniture includes dressers in nature-inspired hues such as indigo, celadon, and wheat.
In the MG+BW Home range of bedroom furniture, you’ll see dressers and chests in natural and sustainable materials, like the Ariel Collection, crafted from reclaimed hardwood wrapped in natural linen and offered in colors that conjure a relaxed coastal vibe. Another way to imbue your bedroom with coastal ease: Malibu Collection, channeling the clean, sophisticated lines of 1970s California Modern.
You’ll also find chests and dressers in woods from walnut to ash to mahogany with multiple finish options. Also consider material mixes such as wood and marble, as well as modern textures including vegan leather and faux shagreen.
The hardware of your dressers and chests can add a jewelry-like accent to a bedroom, like the sheen of metal knobs and handles, either polished or brushed. Keep in mind you can always update Your pieces with new hardware. Or, you may prefer the sleek modern look of hidden finger pulls to open drawers.
Enhance Bedroom Storage with Mirrors, Wall Art and Lighting
Mirrors: For a classic look with practical benefits, center a large mirror over your dresser. In addition to its decorative value, it also enhances your bedroom by reflecting light and making the space feel open and airier. Peruse our extensive range of mirrors to find the best one for your space and style. Consider a round or arch-shaped mirror to add a welcome curve. Let the mirror frame introduce a new material into the room. Pick a mirror with antiqued glass for a vintage look. Note some of our bedroom furniture collections include a mirror in the same material as the dresser. Also bring in a floor mirror to either lean against a wall, wall-mount, or be freestanding like a cheval mirror.
Wall Art: Instead of a mirror, you may prefer a large piece of wall art over your dresser. Choose a work that helps personalize your bedroom retreat. Outdoor scenes can bring a touch of nature inside. Abstract artwork can lend design interest, add color, and reference a favorite design era, such as a composition of 1950s-inspired mid century shapes and hues that still look modern today. Select art that relaxes and inspires you for other spots in your bedroom, as well.
Lighting: Plan lighting for your overall bedroom. In addition to lamps on your nightstands, you may want one on your dresser. Or, consider the option of wall sconces flanking the dresser. Include a chandelier or pendant to help light the whole bedroom as well, which will bring out the tones and textures of your bedroom storage pieces.
Beyond the Bedroom: More Spaces for Dressers and Chests
Our bedroom furniture pieces can also provide beautiful and expansive modern storage in many rooms. Thanks to their range of sizes, styles, and materials, dressers and chests work well in entryways, living areas, home offices, and hallways, while our nightstands and small chests are at home flanking a sofa.
