Multifunctional Dresser Styled Three Ways

Rethinking your space can start with rethinking your furniture, and if you have a great quality piece, it should be easy. The dresser featured in this video is versatile enough to move from room to room and perform different functions depending on the space; it has eight drawers, a velvet-lined drawer divider and a large flat surface. See a multifunctional dresser styled three ways in this House & Home video:

Entrance Console: In smaller homes, there’s often a lack of storage in the entrance. By using a dresser, you can maximize storage while keeping it looking like proper furniture, which is perfect for open-concept spaces. The drawers are great for stuffing away outdoor gear, gloves, caps, and dog leashes and toys, and there’s lots of surface space for dropping newspapers or mail and a bowl for keys or change. The best part is the compartment drawer which can be used for gift cards, transits, sunglasses, and lip gloss (everything you need before you head out). A pair of lamps maximizes the use of the dresser.

Living Room Media Unit: This dresser is elegant enough to look like a formal piece of furniture and is long enough to accommodate a television. The drawers are great for hiding extra throws, photo albums, puzzles, games, magazines and your collection of remotes. A dresser can work perfectly as a media unit, and it offers so much storage for all those things you want out of sight.

Dining Room Sideboard: Unlike a traditional buffet or sideboard, a dresser has easy access drawers that won’t have you digging to the back of the unit for lost items. It’s the perfect piece for extra dishes, linens and fancy bar tools. The top is the ideal height to create a small home bar and to hold a few decorative items. It’s a great setup for someone who’s finally bought a house with a formal dining room. A dresser is perfect to replace a sideboard or a buffet in a dining room because it has a lot of storage, and with drawers, everything is easily accessible.

A well-made piece of furniture should be able to grow with you and move from room to room as your needs evolve. These setups prove that one well-chosen investment piece can really do the job.
