Instead of using a traditional dresser, consider a chest of drawers to give you more floor space. A chest of drawers does not have the large surface space or mirror that a traditional dresser provides, but it does give you space to store your clothes. Use a chest of drawers to store your clothing and attach a mirror to the back of the bedroom door to provide you with the same benefits as a larger dresser and mirror combination. You can also include a small vanity table in a corner of the room to provide a place to store hair accessories, makeup and brushes.
A smaller bedroom may not have the floor space to accommodate a large dresser, but the room likely has the same amount of vertical space as a larger bedroom. Tall chests and wardrobes provide a great deal of storage for clothing and accessories in the room. Wardrobes provide hanging space for clothing, drawers and hooks to accommodate your clothing.
Take advantage of the corners in a small bedroom to use the floor space as efficiently as possible. Chests and dressers are available that will fit snugly into the corner of a room without using up a great amount of the floor area.
When floor space is a premium in the room, tucking a dresser or small chest into a closet can provide storage for your clothing while leaving the bedroom uncluttered. Tucking away your clothing and drawers into the closet gives the smaller bedroom a more spacious appearance.
Loft beds lift the bed up to the ceiling, which frees up the floor space for a standard dresser. By lifting the bed off the floor, you can choose any type and size furnishings for the smaller bedroom. The loft bed not only provides space for a dresser, but you can also include an area to sit and relax in your room.
