On Organizing a Tall Dresser

A typical bedroom has one or two nightstands, a vertical dresser (usually about six drawers), and a horizontal dresser with a mirror.  However, an individual or couple on a tight budget or who just doesn’t have many things avoids crowding one’s bedroom with large furniture.  So in this case a bed and a tall dresser might suffice with under-bed storage.  The tall dresser might be a focal point, impressively crafted with quiet, decorative knobs and slides smoothly as the user opens and closes it.

Inside is of most importance.  It is where the action happens.  If organized carefully and practically, it is a useful tool.  Not only beautiful to view on the outside, but smells and looks good on the inside too!

Take a look at all items that are still useful, those that are no longer befitting due to size, and others that need to be tossed.  Clear out all drawers.  Grab your air freshener, favorite perfume/cologne, or potpourri to freshen up the drawer.  Spray sparingly.  Potpourri is placed in a vented bag and left in drawer.

The Organizer should consider placing dividers inside the drawer first to store multiple items in a single drawer.  Underwear is neatly sorted and easy to view.  No more looking for socks under piles of bras and panties! 

Shirts and pants are folded.  Usually these items are stored in separate drawers due to space.  Drawers are never overstuffed; otherwise the furniture might wear faster and damage to the bottom due to weight.  Many items are lost behind the drawers as well.

Fabric bags that zip or are fastened closed are great for storing small items or favorites inside the drawer.  Jewelry boxes, pencil box size bins, and plastic fruit baskets are good for keeping other items such as: buttons, pens, sewing kits, stain remover pins, etc. in place.  Think:  all minute things related to clothes should be kept close--within reach.

A tall dresser is not limited to clothes.  The bottom or top drawer might hold clothing accessories, miscellaneous items, keepsakes, or treasured tools for hair, crafts, or practical household items.

If you plan to move out at times, you might want to place furniture sliders under it.  Sometimes items fall behind, so you may want to place a decorative item(s) to prevent anything stored on top from getting lost.  Also, be certain that your tall dresser doesn’t block the outlet, but if it does, you can connect an extension cord behind it before you flush it to a wall.
