Top 5 Mid Century Modern Dresser Styles for the Bedroom
The sleek, mid century modern furniture style embraces clean lines and minimalist design. However, modern style should never sacrifice quality storage and function. At Dutch Craft, our Amish artisans use the timeless construction and American hardwoods for all solid wood bedroom furniture. Follow our guide to find the best midcentury modern dresser for your bedroom.
Mid Century Dresser Options
Start your search by understanding the basic options for all Amish-made dressers. Every dresser is completely customizable, with options including wood type, size, color and hardware. Hardwood options include Red and White Oak, Maple, Hickory, Elm, Cherry and Walnut wood. Prices vary according to wood type.
We offer a wide range of size options for a contemporary dresser. A horizontal dresser generally ranges from 56"-72" wide. Dressers are available as high or low dressers for any style, ranging from approximately 36"-46" high. These dressers may or may not pair with a matching mirror on top.
Tall dressers, or chest of drawers, take advantage of the vertical space in your bedroom. A standard chest of drawers features 5-6 drawers, ranging in size from 48" to 56" tall and 38" to 44" wide. Specialty dressers like lingerie chests, chiffoniers, and armoires offer a greater variety of standard sizes and layouts. Extra large dressers, called mule chests, feature a horizontal dresser base with a 4-door cabinet on top instead of a mirror.
Beyond all the standard size and layouts available for a modern bedroom dresser, any piece has custom options. Request an extra drawer or two, scale it down to fit your wall space or add custom storage for jewelry or media components. This flexibility to design your own dresser in mid century style is a customer favorite.
Warm Wood Tones for a Mid Century Modern Dresser
Mid-century style celebrates earthy wood tones mixed with the neutral style of the evolving modern farmhouse trend. In hardwoods, options such as Walnut wood, Maple wood and White Oak wood are top choices for the modern style. Walnut wood is medium dark, with a fine grain texture and often features a clear natural finish. White Oak modern bedroom dresser styles typically feature a light blonde or tan wood stain like DCF Sand or Willowbend.
Maple is the most versatile, featuring stain colors ranging from the light tones of Willowbend to rich, dark stains like Ebony or Brown Velvet. The natural grain texture of Maple wood is subtle and smooth, creating an even color tone for dark stains. Most modern black dresser styles feature solid Maple wood. The subtle texture also creates a smooth painted finish for a modern white dresser.
Now that you understand the basic options for any dresser, consider these top 5 mid century modern dresser styles:
