Take everything off the dresser top, and wipe the furniture with polish to remove dust and grime.

Set Center Stage

Your dresser needs something large on the wall above it to provide visual balance.

If the dresser is positioned underneath a window, the job is already done.

A pretty tray is not only decorative; its a useful addition to your bedroom.

Set a tray you love on top of the dresser, positioned below the mirror or other wall-mounted piece.

A shallow wood or stone tray, for example, can be ideal for the dresser top.

Adjust the pieces until they are to your liking.

Periodically give the dresser a once-over to check for items that belong elsewhere.
