Do you have a dresser in your bedroom? We swapped in a leaning floor mirror in our bedroom where our dresser used to be and you have questions about the dresser! Where did it go, where is it now? Short story is, we sold it. In it I kept my pajamas, workout clothes, and underwear and I found myself trailing between the bathroom and bedroom to get dressed. I like having those things in drawers however, so I followed Chris’s lead and put a low dresser we already had in my closet. No longer needing the dresser, we listed it for sale on our local FB Marketplace and somebody snatched it up. Happy to give it a new home! It got me thinking though, how many of you keep a dresser in your bedroom, and if so, what do you keep in it??

Sidenote: I’m still not over this new view.
If you have a dresser in your bedroom is it for grounding a TV or to fill a wall? Do you not have room inside your closet to store all your clothes? If you are storing clothes, do you wish you had it in your closet? So many questions haha because I prefer not to! We did have a dresser in our last bedroom below the TV, which actually stored our bed linens. It served a function (other than holding clothes) plus it grounded the TV and filled a space on the wall.

Honestly, now I’m wondering if maybe I should keep a dresser on the wall across from the window because it does need something. Looking at the photo below, it could be against this wall, but scooted closer to the door. The picture looks narrower than it is but I think it could fit. Still unsure if it’s a good idea or not!
Kids rooms seem to be a completely different topic. I want a dresser in all of my girls rooms because their little clothes do so much better folded! This dresser in Greta’s bedroom I originally ordered for our bedroom! However, when it arrived I knew it belonged among the pink painted walls.

Polly’s dresser was a FB Marketplace find and I think it’s so so darling. Since we got it, Faye has now been asking for a dresser in her room but I’m not sure there’s enough space in there for a dresser!
What do you think, are you pro dresser in the bedroom?
Shop Dressers
We have a dresser in our primary bedroom mostly to anchor an empty wall, and don’t store any day to day clothing items in there. I mostly use the dresser for the family’s “to be donated” items. We don’t keep dressers in either of the kids rooms, but instead incorporate drawers into their closet solutions.
My kids both have large enough walk-in closets that I recently decided to move their dressers into their closets to have all their clothes in one place. It makes getting dressed so much easier and gives them more space in their rooms. For my primary bedroom my husband and I each have a dresser in the bedroom but I wish all my clothes were in my closet so reconfiguring/reorganizing is on the list.
I just recently moved my dresser into my closet. It’s for things that can’t be hung, i.e. socks and underwear. I prefer to keep all clothing inside the closet if possible. So many other types of furniture can fill spaces if that’s what someone wants. I like the idea of everything I need to get dressed in one place, vs “foraging around for all the bits and pieces. I also like space and clean lines tho. Anything else starts to feel junky and claustrophobic to me.
I live in NYC and frankly the majority of us apt-dwellers need dressers. I would prefer not to need it, but it’s impossible to store clothing and linens otherwise. I think you made a great choice removing it if you have the closet space to absorb it’s contents. If the space you are referencing really feels empty consider filling it up with a narrower, flatter piece or maybe artwork if it fits the mood of the room.
As long as I have had a walk-in closet, I e had my dresser in the closet ( the same maple six drawer one from my childhood. ) just makes sense to get dressed and In dressed in there. That where the laundry basket is and adjacent to the bathroom.
