Dresser with mirror in the bedroom

In addition to the bed in the bedroom, of course, there must be other furniture - for example, a wardrobe, a mirror and a small chest of drawers. If necessary, the last two subjects can be combined into one. A dresser with a mirror will be an excellent alternative to the dressing table and at the same time a place to store things, with the right choice will emphasize a stylish design and add ergonomics to the space of the bedroom.

What it is?

Each of us knows what a dresser is - a low cabinet with several drawers, as a rule, sliding. It is very versatile - it can replace a wardrobe, a bedside cabinet. You can attach a mirror to it yourself or buy a ready-made dresser with a mirror.

This innovation, without a doubt, is very convenient. It allows you to save space and space in the room, collect everything you need, in one point of the room - clothes or bed linen can be folded into drawers, cosmetics, jewelry or hygiene items placed on the surface of the drawer and assembled directly in one place.This is very important for women, so usually these dressers are placed in the bedrooms and act as a worthy replacement for the dressing table, and if they are also low, then even a bedside table.

If you understand the anatomy of this piece of furniture, then you can select several parts - the case, table top, drawers and fittings, a mirror (if it is part of the design, and not mounted separately).

By the way, it should be installed at the side or at the head of the bed, since the mirror should not reflect the bed.

Models

The most popular option - a chest of drawers with three sections for things and a mirror on top. It is truly versatile and will suit virtually any bedroom. These chests can vary in size, height and width of drawers or mirrors, but one thing remains the same - their authenticity.

Quite often, different models of drawers differ from each other in their design. For example, you can find a chest of drawers not with the classic three shelves, but with two, and vertical ones. The drawers of such chest of drawers can be extended or form the same depth with the classic version, but their location allows you to advantageously zone the space for things.

There is a variant with three zones - two vertical ones, as in the above described variant, and in the middle they have several horizontal small boxes. Side drawers, as a rule, are not divided into shelves. There are dressers and with one big box - under the bed linen, for example.

A chest of drawers is called a chest of drawers that has several small drawers for storing various trifles - jewelry, cosmetics and other things. The dresser table differs in a wide and convenient surface, it is possible to work on it as it creates a small working zone.

As for the mirror, it can be removable or combined into one design with the dresser itself.

Materials

Dressers do of the same materials, as other cabinet furniture.

The most popular option has long been considered tree - The array is notable for its aristocratic appearance and resistance to most damage, such as scratches or rubbing.

If you have a limited budget or want to save money, select a dresser from MDF or chipboard. In this case, the inside of the case will be made of plywood, and the back wall and bottom of the shelves - of fiberboard.

Body is made and of plastic, rattan, and used as cladding glass, leatherthe mirror itself or fake diamond.

Styles

In order to choose a dresser in the bedroom, you need to decide on the style. For example, the most common can be considered Provence, Classic and Hi-Tech. They are also particularly contrasted in comparison with each other, so that knowing the characteristics of each of them, you can easily understand which chest of drawers fits best with a particular interior.

So let's start with Provence. These are soft lines, wood, plain figures and inconspicuous colors. The bedroom in this style is very cozy and as if airy. Of course, a chest of drawers should also be suitable for this concept, so no black or metal structures, you should be careful with modern materials as a whole. Pay attention to natural materials, smooth lines and, possibly, artificially aged materials. And on top of the tabletop you can throw a lace napkin or put a vase with flowers. This will add to the bedroom comfort.

By the way, dressers and various tables with carved elements are an integral part of this particular style. The handles of the drawers, the legs, or the details on the mirror can act as those carved elements.

We turn to the classics. Her main motto is luxury not being shown off. It is very important to show that the owners are people who can earn, but do it without excessive pathos. Symmetry is very important. This also applies to the zoning of the bedroom, and directly to the parts of the dresser. Regarding colors, there must be brown or beige in any variations, from dark to light. The geometry of such bedrooms, as a rule, is not hilarious - rounded or square shapes prevail (for example, a mirror can be exactly round).

By the way, about the mirror. It can be big, just huge, because the second expression, referring to the classics - the more light, the better, and the mirrors increase the space. Materials can be used completely different, wood, too, but the status will emphasize exactly the stone. In general, a classic-style dresser with a mirror should resemble a chest of drawers from 17th-18th century paintings.

Hi-tech, perhaps, everyone will know at first sight. This is a clear line of furniture, geometry, minimalism and the almost complete lack of decor. That is, dressers with a mirror are suitable for this style with their practicality - they can replace a wardrobe and a mirror.If you need to describe in two words a dresser for a bedroom in the high-tech style, then it will be "refined" and "functional."

A chest of drawers with a backlight will be a very good option - it can be located on a mirror or you can hang two sconces on the sides. Do not experiment with the dressers of the original forms, since the classic rectangle or square is ideal for Hi-tech and it is unlikely that you will be able to pick a better shape. By the way, it is this style that welcomes various pull-out or built-in furniture, transforming furniture, so if you find a chest of drawers from this series, be sure to take it.

If you are a fan of technical progress, then pay special attention to “smart” dressers with a push / pull control system that allows you to open drawers with one touch on the case.

It should be said about other styles. A chest of drawers for a vintage bedroom allows for various small details, stripes or even patterns on the surface (flowers or a cage) and rounded shapes. For style Baroque ideal large volume dressers on thin or almost flat legs. For Country music the situation is in many ways similar to Provence, but perhaps the attritions and deliberate rudeness here will be even more relevant.

How to choose?

As a rule, the complexity of choosing a dresser or any other furniture depends on how you choose the right style and size. In order not to be mistaken with this, pay attention to some universal rules:

  • Initially, allocate space for a dresser in the bedroom. If necessary, move the furniture, but ensure free access to it. And be sure to measure this free space - in fact it is with these data that you will go to the furniture store and it is from them that you will have to make a start when choosing;
  • If you chose a chest of drawers, Be sure that they freely open - do not rest against the furniture standing next to them and do not interfere with movements. Also, they should not make sounds, squeak or knock hard on the body;
  • Standard sizes are: width - 1 m, height - 1.3 m, depth - from 40 to 60 cm, depending on the purpose of the boxes. These sizes are universal, and based on the size of the room, you can vary individual parameters;
  • With the help of the dresser you can also visually adjust the room. Narrow and high will help to make the room more spacious in the vertical direction, to raise the ceiling, and low and long - in the horizontal;
  • Corner chests are perfect, if you want to save space;
  • In general, quite often dressers come complete with other bedroom furniture - a bed, a wardrobe, which makes it possible to immediately buy perfectly matched objects.
  • As for colors, light shades visually expand the space, and the dark ones, on the contrary, eat it up. It is a light white chest of drawers with a mirror that will look smaller and save space in this way, while black-brown will stand out with a dark spot. Mirrors, by the way, due to reflectivity also contribute to the expansion of space.
  • Of course, you need to choose a chest of drawers with respect to the style of the bedroom and other furniture in it. This will help you study the style in which the bedroom is made, and your innate taste. If you like a dresser, but it does not fit into the interior at all - ask to see models of other colors or look at another model. Believe me, not even the most beautiful chest of drawers will sparkle with other colors in the room if it fits perfectly in style.
  • Pay attention to the sliding mechanisms. The simplest ones are roller ones, they are cheaper, but they also break more often, since they do not withstand heavy things.We advise you to look at the mechanisms with closers.
  • Try to buy a chest of drawers from a trusted manufacturer. - in the Ikea store, for example, so you get a whole set of guarantees when you buy.
