Need dresser decor ideas? These 7 simple ways to style your dresser will make your bedroom look instantly more polished and organized. Easy, affordable tips anyone can do!

Decorating the top of your dresser can be tricky. You don’t want it to feel too cluttered, but leaving it empty can make your room look unfinished. After testing out a bunch of setups (and scrolling through way too many Pinterest boards), I finally figured out the best dresser decor ideas that make your space look clean, stylish, and intentional.

Here are 7 dresser decorating ideas you can totally copy, no design degree required:

Dresser Styling Ideas for a Beautiful Bedroom Setup

1. Add a Lamp (Or Two)

If your dresser doesn’t already have a lamp, add one. It’s a small change that makes a huge difference.

2. Stack Books to Create Levels

Books are one of the easiest things to decorate with. Stack 2-3 hardcover books and top them with a candle, bowl, or small decorative item.

3. Use a Tray to Keep Things Organized

If your dresser tends to collect random stuff (same), a tray helps everything look more organized without actually organizing it that much.

4. Add Greenery or Flowers

Every space looks better with something green. Whether it’s a small potted plant, a vase of faux stems, or dried flowers, adding greenery makes your dresser feel fresh and styled.

5. Lean a Frame or Mirror Behind It

Dont want to hang anything above your dresser? Just lean a frame or mirror against the wall. Super easy and adds a ton of depth.

6. Add a Candle

Candles = cozy. Plus, they look really cute on top of books or trays.

7. Include Something Personal

Add one personal touch to make your dresser feel like yours. It can be a framed photo, a piece of art you love, or even something random like a little travel souvenir.
