In an earlier post today I shared how I moved a dresser from our bedroom into the living room. As promised, I’m back with a follow-up containing additional sources for similar dressers you might like.
You may recall the vintage dresser I used in my previous home (shown above). I love that piece — it has medallion-style pulls similar to the new dresser I moved into the living room. I still have the other dresser and you’ll likely see it again in my office or elsewhere around the house. If you’d like to tour my old home or see the dresser in my coffee table book, those resources are available on my site. Paint colors for the featured room are also listed on my paint color page.
If you’re searching for this look, these pieces are often described as Swedish or Gustavian style dressers. Whether they are period originals, reproductions, or inspired designs, I’m drawn to their clean lines, soft details, and classic proportions. In this roundup you’ll find a variety of options that share that aesthetic.
One route is to find a vintage Swedish-style dresser secondhand. I found the dresser in my old house at a vintage store for a great price. Scouring Craigslist, local antique shops, and estate sales can yield wonderful finds. Another option is to update an existing dresser yourself by painting it and swapping hardware to achieve the Gustavian look.
If you need a dresser quickly or nothing suitable turns up locally, below are online sources I like for dressers with that Swedish-inspired style. Enjoy exploring these options!
