The Impact Of The Open Dresser & Open Book Shelf

Open dressers and bookshelves are stunning pieces of furniture that have become increasingly desirable in British homes. They are both beautiful and easy on the eye, as well as being functional pieces of furniture that are perfect for adding personality and individuality to. 

We are huge fans of making these bespoke open dressers and bookshelves and here we give our thoughts on what makes them so unique and how they can create real interior impact. 

Adding personality: often with closed units the surprise is hidden behind the doors however, with the open display it gives the owner the opportunity to add their personality and most treasured belongings to the shelves to be admired at all times. Displaying family heirlooms, souvenirs from world travels or funky items with real character work incredibly well and adds to the design of the space.

Adding Colour: It’s a chance to add pops of colour to your space. Add cookbooks, your favourite books, vases or art to the shelves and you won’t regret it. Colour can be added or taken away whenever you’re ready for a change so it’s a fun and easy way to play around with interiors.

Adding Storage: functionality is equally important and storage, whether it’s hidden or on display, can often be added below or beside the open shelving. Storage is always a need and in a dresser for example it’s lovely to have the option to hide any unwanted items away.

Adding a wow-factor: these units can be real talking points. They catch the eye immediately and often becomes a wow-factor type of furniture and design element in the spaces they are in
