Better Your Boudoir With A Black Dresser
Adding a focal point to a room always steps it up a notch. A room can be beautifully furnished, but at the same time a bit drab, if there is nothing in the room to catch the eye. This is particularly common in the bedroom, especially since many people purchase a full bedroom set, so all of the furnishings are the same color or wood tone. One great way to transform your decor with relative ease is to add a black dresser to your bedroom.
Black dressers are the perfect centerpiece. The color is striking, and you can make use of the top of the dresser to make it more interesting. Also, no matter what the rest of the furniture is like, a black bedroom dresser will work. In a room furnished with ornate wood tones, a modern black dresser is the perfect contrast. And if you have more contemporary furniture, an antique black dresser is quite a conversation piece.
When it comes to the actual shopping, think about the size of your room, as well as what your needs are. A tall black dresser with mirror attached is stunning, but can look all wrong in a tight space. If your bedroom is on the smaller side, or has little open space available, a small black dresser can do the trick without being overbearing.
Cost will also be a factor, as with any furniture purchase. If you are tight on funds but want a new look, then a cheap black dresser could work, provided you aren’t going to be giving it major wear and tear. Also, you can roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty to save money and have fun in the process. If you have your heart set on a contemporary black dresser, consider going to an unfinished furniture retailer and finding an unfinished dresser with clean lines and painting it yourself.
If the antique look is more your style but out of your price range, making a distressed black dresser can be a fun, do-it-yourself project. You will need a dresser that is already painted, but stay away from black, as the color that is there now will be what will be peeking out from underneath. Paint it over with a coat of black paint, and once that is dry, go over the corners, edges, and any carvings or engravings with small grain sandpaper or steel wool.
Whatever type of black dresser furniture you choose, you will be giving your bedroom a totally new look. So stand back, take it all in, and enjoy the results!
