Decorate the Space Around it

Adding an attractive decorative accent on the wall above or behind the dresser creates visual interest and draws the eye upwards. Hang a mirror or one large piece of art. Mirrors add an element of height since most dressers tend to be wide rather than tall. Alternatively, create a wall gallery from photography or prints with different frame sizes and styles. Place a few essentials on top such as magazines, flowers and decorative sculptures. Make sure these décor elements are to scale with the dresser for a more balanced look. Place a rug directly in front of the dresser to ground the look.
