If you’re looking for new bedroom furniture and debating between a vertical or horizontal dresser, take into account several considerations as you navigate stores and retailers. While most bedroom sets are showcased with one of each dresser size, having both might not work with your available space.

Size of the Bedroom

With today’s contemporary bedroom sets, there are plenty of options when it comes to dresser designs and sizes. Still, ensure you have enough space in the bedroom for the style you desire. If you have more space to play with, a horizontal dresser with wide drawers helps you maximize storage. It also looks stately along a large wall or centered at the foot of a queen or king bed.

If you’re setting up a smaller bedroom, consider a vertical dresser. It still looks fantastic but can easily tuck into a corner. With a smaller footprint, it won’t take up much room. It also satisfies your storage needs without having to surrender horizontal space. If you’re having trouble balancing the room, consider putting one vertical dresser on each side to bring back the symmetry.

Who Uses It

Picking the proper piece for a bedroom set depends on whose room it is. For kids’ bedrooms, a wider, shorter set of drawers makes it easier for little ones to access their clothes. The same can be said for seniors who require low, accessible storage. If your bed is tall enough, you can position horizontal dresser sets as side tables and use the ample space on top for decor.

Vertical dresser sets are perfect for taller individuals and people who don’t need all the storage that comes with a wider piece of furniture. If you don’t have many clothes and are limited on space, a taller dresser is the top choice.
