An oak dresser has the ability to instantly enhance the style and design of your home, uniquely combining the visual element of a display cabinet with the practicality of a sideboard.
Dresser units are typically designed to have cupboard storage space at the bottom with shelves and glass cabinets on the top half for displaying items. They have a charming presence which perfectly complements both modern and traditional styled homes and are often placed in a number of rooms including hallways, kitchens and dining rooms to fittingly suit the current decor. Pine Oak offers a comprehensive range of oak dresser units in different shapes and sizes to help you find the perfect furniture for your home. To help you find the ideal dresser to compliment your home, our experts have created the oak dresser buying guide:
Oak Dresser History
The dresser unit has traditionally been associated with storing valuable objects, often with prized tableware on display. It has always been a common furniture item within rural homes, however over the past two hundred years it has become an attractive and valuable item for more modern contemporary living spaces.
Nowadays oak dressers are typically found in the kitchen or dining room and often used to store tableware, crockery and cutlery. However with people choosing to design their homes in more unique and stylish ways it is not uncommon to find dressers within living rooms or hallways to display almost anything from artistic sculptures to album collections.
Choosing the Right Oak Dresser for Your Home
Before you make a decision on selecting an oak dresser unit there are a few things to consider which will help you choose the perfect dresser.
• Make sure you choose a suitable size – Measure the height, width and depth of the space you wish to fill with a dresser to ensure it can actually fit, remembering to leave enough room for you to be able to move around easily. Dressers can come in a range of different sizes and shapes so it shouldn’t be too much trouble finding the right size for your home.
• Knowing your style - Pine Oak have a selection of oak dressers including modern Metro dressers for sleek and stylish contemporary homes as well as the more traditional Windsor oak dressers to create a rustic homely appeal.
• Functionality – Think about what you would like to use the oak dresser for. A large dresser with a bright colour and finish will have a strong presence compared to a more subtle, darker style. If you’re planning to use it as a fashionable storage unit then it’s advisable to go for something with a larger cupboard space.
Styling tip
If you use an oak dresser within any room it will most likely take up a considerable amount of space so try not to overcrowd the room with other accessories and decor. Dressers work best in a minimalist environment and often catch the eye of people as they enter the room so incorporate this into your style by adding attractive artwork to the unit.
Keep in mind – Most of the oak dressers available at Pine Oak are manufactured in their own factory and can be custom built for your home.
