Let’s talk about one of the most common dresser styling mistakes: leaving it plain… and then overcorrecting by cluttering it. A bare dresser can feel unfinished and forgettable, like something is missing. But when we try to “fix” that by adding too much—random decor, stacked items, products with no home—the surface quickly becomes cluttered. Instead of feeling elevated, the dresser starts to feel chaotic and impractical, especially for your nighttime routine. The fix? Intentional styling with space to breathe. Start with what you actually use at night. Then add just a few pieces: * A soft lamp * A tray for essentials * A book you’re currently reading or a journal * One or two meaningful accents This balance is what turns a dresser from nice to iconic.
