Dressers in many bedrooms are one of the main items for storing clothes. If earlier, old “grandmother’s” chests of drawers were most often used, which could not be particularly distinguished as a separate element of the interior, in our time, designers have created very interesting and modern solutions that will transform and complement the bedroom interior.

The shape of the furniture has changed, a “new breath” has been breathed into it, the decorative elements that adorn the chest of drawers have changed, and so on. Therefore, now both lovers of minimalism and lovers of bright decor can choose a suitable chest of drawers for themselves.

The main types of chests of drawers

• Long dresser. An excellent and functional option, as it has a large number of compartments that can fit a lot of clothes, which is especially convenient for a large family.But such a chest of drawers is not suitable for owners of a small bedroom, as it can take up too much space.
• Showcase chest of drawers. For the bedroom, this is not the best option, since in the first place it also takes up too much space, and plus, because of its appearance, it is designed to store services or drinks, so it does not quite fit into the interior of the bedroom.
• Chest of drawers with a mirror. This option is very functional, since you can store things in such a chest of drawers, while using it as a dressing table or stand for cosmetics, which saves space in the room.
• Transformer. The most modern and thoughtful option. Due to its design, it can easily be transformed into a table, ironing board or dressing table, which is also great for a small bedroom.

Material for making chest of drawers

One of the main characteristics of any furniture. Since this factor affects the appearance of the furniture, its service life, as well as what style of interior it will fit into. For a chest of drawers, such materials are often chosen.

Tree

The most popular material for the manufacture of chest of drawers. After all, for the first time chests of drawers were made of wood, which immediately repeats the traditions of our grandparents. But modern chests of drawers are different from the furniture of the last century. It is better to choose a chest of drawers from the array, it has the best quality and looks very elegant. For solid wood, oak or beech is often used, for some the price for such a chest of drawers will seem very high, but you can be sure that this furniture will serve you for more than one year. If you don’t want to invest so much money in a chest of drawers, then you can choose a model from more budget materials: chipboard or MDF.Only when choosing these two materials you need to be careful and know some of the features of their manufacture. For example, formaldehyde is often used in chipboard, which has a very bad effect on the human respiratory and nervous system, so it is better not to choose such bedroom furniture, especially for those who have small children. MDF, despite the cost, which is several times lower than solid wood, still remains more environmentally friendly than chipboard and is suitable for bedroom interiors.

Plastic

Plastic chests of drawers are less often used in the interior of the bedroom, despite their low cost. This is due to the fact that they do not look as stylish as wooden ones and have a much shorter service life. Plus, plastic furniture does not look quite appropriate in classic interior styles, and is more suitable for neoclassical or high-tech, and not everyone decides on such experiments.
