Begin by measuring your bedroom dimensions and identifying potential dresser placement locations that don't block windows or doors. Consider both your current storage needs and future requirements when selecting dresser size and drawer configuration. Ashley offers dresser sizing from small bachelor's chests to large combo units to fit various bedroom sizes. Think about visual balance and choose a dresser that's proportionate to your bed size and room scale. Verify that the dresser height works with any mirrors, artwork, or lighting you plan to place above it.

Choose a focal point like a mirror or artwork to anchor your dresser top, then build around it with smaller items. Balance heavier visual elements on one side with lighter pieces on the other for pleasing symmetry across the dresser surface. Ashley offers home decor items that coordinate with their dresser designs for effortless styling solutions and room coordination. Add texture through materials like wood, metal, glass, or ceramic to create visual interest beyond just color. Remember to leave breathing room so the dresser doesn't look cluttered or overwhelming in your bedroom space.

Standard dressers typically range from 30 to 36 inches tall, which allows comfortable access to top drawers while standing. Taller vertical chest dressers can reach 50-60 inches in height for maximum storage capacity in smaller spaces. We offer dressers in various heights across our collections to accommodate different bedroom layouts and storage needs. The height you choose depends on your room's ceiling clearance and whether you'll place items like mirrors or lamps on top. We provide detailed dimension specifications for each dresser model to help with room planning.
