Dresser with mirror: placement in the interior

Translated from French, the dresser means "comfortable." It is really convenient to use a small cabinet with drawers. This beautiful piece of furniture evolved from the chest. The French put him on his feet, over time, doors and drawers appeared. Today there are dressers in almost every home. The variety in color, style, designs and functions allows you to define them in any room.

A chest of drawers is a beautiful and practical piece of furniture; in its capacity it surpasses even a cupboard. This is due to design features: drawers can be filled without the formation of voids, as happens in cabinets.Outwardly, this model looks compact and does not press down the dimensions.

The functionality of the dresser will increase when equipped with a mirror. It is attached to the structure at an angle of 45 degrees, or is selected for style and size separately, then hung over the chest of drawers. In the bedroom, this model can serve as a cosmetic table. It should be installed on the side or at the head, so that the mirror does not reflect the bed.

The size range of chest of drawers is extensive: from elegant models with small drawers for trifles, to solid designs for large items and bedding. Dressers have both traditional and the most extravagant forms. They are made from MDF, wood, metal with elements of glass, leather, ivory. The advantages of such furniture are indisputable:

• tangible capacity allows you to solve the issue of storage of things;
• the dresser can be used with other additional functions: a mirror, a showcase for dishes, a TV or as a dressing table;

• equipment with boxes makes it possible to organize storage;
• a large selection of models of different shapes, colors and styles allows you to embed it in any interior;
• the difference in prices makes the purchase of a dresser affordable for people with any possibilities.

The disadvantages include the poor quality of some low-end models, when the boxes literally crumble, fall out or move uncertainly.

Furniture manufacturers use different types of materials to create dressers with mirrors. Sometimes combined elements are involved, which makes models especially attractive:

• Wood - For centuries proven, eco-friendly material. The variety of structure and color allows you to choose any model you like. Products from alder, cherry, pine, cedar, linden are involved in the creation of luxury furniture. Chests look particularly beautiful in a contrasting version, combining the light, delicate shade of a Sonoma oak with the deep brown color of an African wenge tree. Unlike synthetic products, wood belongs to high price categories: its array is durable, durable, has an expensive, presentable appearance.

• The budget and the most common production of this type of furniture is carried out from chipboards (MDF, chipboard, OSB). Their porous structure allows water to pass through, but chests of drawers are rarely used in rooms with high humidity. Lamination and polymerization of MDF makes them beautiful and durable, resistant to damage, they can be treated using chemistry. The disadvantages include the presence of toxic resins that are involved in the polymerization process and can affect health.
• On the dressers from metal the demand is not large and they are released in small quantities, but they are necessary for modern interiors in the style of techno, hi-tech, minimalism or modern. Metal products combined with plastic, glass and stone.

• Amazing dressers from glass: fragile, airy, extravagant, but they lack practicality. Not every thing you put on the review, their contents should always be in perfect order.Such furniture is rather part of the design idea, rather than a functional device. Glass in designs is successfully combined with other materials or used as a decor.

Leather, stained glass, metal, glass, and stones are involved in decorating these pieces of furniture. Details of the dresser decor should be repeated in the decoration of the mirror.
