A round-up of beautiful light wood dresser options that work well in multiple bedroom styles. Includes dressers for a variety of budgets!

A collection of light wood dresser options that work well for a variety of decorating styles and budgets! These dressers give a slightly modern coastal look and have excellent reviews.

All dressers shown above, as well as many more, are sourced further down in the post.

A few weeks back, I shared our fall & winter project goals. And, as I shared in yesterday’s post, I was able to set the wheels in motion to wrap up one DIY project and start another last week! Now that summer is officially over, I’m excited to get started on the list! Today I’m going to share a customized master bedroom update along with some beautiful light wood dresser options I found in my search.

Our Current Dresser & Bedroom Furniture

I mentioned yesterday that I finally bought a new dresser for our bedroom. Up until early this year, I honestly don’t think I had even searched for a dresser in nearly a decade. When we did buy our current one, we literally walked into Nebraska Furniture Mart one day and bought it, along with the matching night stands, because it was the only one we could both agree on. They served us well over the years, but hadn’t been our style for a long time. The dresser and matching mirror are also much larger and taller than we needed. When I worked on our master bedroom makeover earlier this year, I knew I’d eventually have to address the old dresser but I didn’t make it a top priority.

Fast-forward to me being sick inside with allergies for most of August, and I finally sat down to take some time to look for new fresh dresser options! Buying furniture online can be intimidating, but I also love the challenge. I search for reviews, customer photos, anything I can get my hands on! And I think I found some really great options for a variety of budgets!

As a reminder, here is how the remainder of our light and bright master bedroom looks, so you can see what other furniture we have in the space. The dresser wall sits directly opposite this area, across from the far nightstand by the windows.

A coastal inspired master bedroom with white and cane nightstands, white wood bead chandelier, blue and white patterned bench with wood legs, white bedding, and blue and white accents.

Top Light Wood Dresser Picks

We knew we wanted a light wood dresser (or possibly white) that was oriented horizontally versus vertically, based upon the wall we have dedicated for this piece of furniture. We also wanted something that could last us for the next decade, or longer, so it needed to be solid wood, or very sturdy and durable if it wasn’t. After a few weeks of searching, following are some of my top wood dresser picks! Simply click any of the images below to learn more about each item.

Our Master Bedroom Dresser Plans

My all-time favorite find was this raffia dresser, but I just couldn’t justify the price (even when it’s on sale). So, I continued my search, knowing I had to find something that could pair well with our nightstands. In the end, I narrowed down my selection, sent them in a combined image to Kurtis, and asked which was his favorite. It was super scientific 😉 He specifically liked that the top row on this particular one had more drawers to store smaller items, like our current dresser does. It seemed like the perfect option (plus I had PB reward money)!

We ended up purchasing this light wood dresser and I bought this mirror to go above it while they were both on sale last week. When I saw the stock photo below of the two paired together, I didn’t even look for another mirror option! I absolutely loved how these look paired together and knew they’d work perfectly in our home! The dresser is from the same collection as the bed in our guest bedroom and I knew I loved the light wood tone and that it’s durable and heavy!

Because I took full advantage of the capped-out freight shipping with Pottery Barn, it’s probably going to be two months or so before the new dresser arrives. The other item I ordered (and will share soon) is an upholstery order so those always take longer and they don’t deliver until everything is ready. I’ll keep you posted!

I’m still on the hunt for the perfect dynamic rug for the space. The one in there currently has just been a placeholder that our friends gave us for free when they moved. Short of that, this room will be 100% done! We’re so happy to almost have this entire project crossed off our to-do list!

    sophisticated and cool as your greenroom/kitchen.

    Do you have a TV in your bedroom?? I love that mirror and it’s so unique I would never think of pairing it with the dresser. Can’t wait to see in your room! I never put my mirror up she. I moved bc my TV blocks it!

      No, we don’t. Kurtis would love one, but I refuse (mostly because he may never leave). lol So, we’re going the mirror route again and I love the idea of a non-matching pair!

    I LOVE your blog! You have such beautiful taste. I was wondering if the bed in your master is a queen or king? I see you usually have 3 euro pillows. I’m trying to perfect the ratio of euro pillows to standard and accent pillows. I’d love it if you could do a piece on tips for decorating a bed! I have some really great pieces, such as a quilt and throw, but I’m stuck on the “casual” design aspect of it. Thank you!

      Thank you so much! We have a king size bed. And yes – I’ll plan to add a pillow guide to the blog soon!

    I love the room is there an alternative for the lamps – they are sold out?
