Decorating your dresser can transform your bedroom into a personal sanctuary. Here are some creative and stylish ideas to help you elevate your dresser decor game.
1. Reflect with Mirrors
A mirror above your dresser not only adds light but also creates the illusion of more space. I love using round mirrors for a soft touch that balances the dresser’s lines. Recently, I’ve been suggesting to my clients that they try leaning a large mirror against the wall for an even more casual and expansive effect. I think it adds a touch of effortless elegance.

My goal is always to make the change feel effortless and natural.
