Stupid or no-

Stupid or no-

Uuuggggghhhhhhhh

So online I saw a bedroom set that looks nice- Kylie, from R&F- once I go in person and check it out, I think I’d get two nightstands, and two dressers; the dressers are 60” wide and each have six drawers

The wall across from my bed is 120” wide; the dresser across from the bed will have the tv and cable box on it and the other dresser (l would go on the other wall which only has 60” of space, on the wall to the right of the bed) and will have a mirror over it (I think I’ll look for one from homegoods or something so that it’s not too matchy matchy-same story with the headboard- possibly the better homes and gardens one from Walmart-?)

My sister said “who gets two dressers?”

Idk I think if we have the space for it and need the storage, why not? She’s telling me to get the taller chest of drawers (40”) and one dresser.

Am I crazy? Is getting two dressers really stupid?

I wouldnt say it’s stupid, but I think a bedroom looks better with one dresser and one tall chest

I agree, tall chest and one dresser. Or one very long dresser. Some brands offer dressers in a bigger size.

I prefer the look of a dresser and a chifferobe or tall chest.

When stbx and I were together, we had 2 dressers and a tall chest. I think it's fine. (One of the dressers was across from the end of the bed and had the cable box on it. We also had 2 night stands)

Re: Stupid or no-

We have 4 dressers, two tall chests, and a built in closet... Chat Icon None of them match each other. It's our private room, so DW and I are the only ones who see it. We're much more about practicality and frugality than matching cabinets and cabinet aesthetics.

Do whatever makes you happy! We personally have a dresser and a tall chest. It's about the same amount of room in each. But if you have room for 2 dressers, why not?

Just curious why you don't want the tall chest?

Re: Stupid or no-

In the chest the drawers aren’t as deep , so I figured we’d be getting more space in the dresser

Plus we have a tv in our bedroom. I don’t want it mounted so I need a normal height surface to put it on.

One Dresser would have a mirror (this would be to the right of our bed where the wall is exactly 60” wide)

The other Dresser across from the bed would have the tv. (The other wall is 120” wide). I’d have space this way to put my hamper and floor mirror maybe a chair or a plant or something


If I had one dresser and one chest, the dresser with mirror would be on one wall and the chest would be on the other wall and I feel like the room might look empty

Re: Stupid or no-

Do what works for you and what you like.
I don't invite anyone into my bedroom, so to be honest, nobody sees what i have going on in there.
And nobody is gong to say OH MY GOD, you have 2 dressers! The HUMANITY! How low rent can you be???

Honestly, I never knew there were "rules" for this type of thing. I've always just done what I wanted. Do what works best for you

Re: Stupid or no-

you made the right choice Chat Icon

I personally don't like tall dressers and we have 2 regular height dressers in our room - one has all my stuff on it, the other has the tv and some other junk on it.

Live how YOU want to, not how anyone else thinks!
