Bedroom Design Styles
You can find a dresser mirror that complements your favorite design style. Let’s look at some of the most popular bedroom design styles so you can find your favorite.

Contemporary
Contemporary style is all about sleek silhouettes, geometric shapes, and embracing contrast. For example, black-and-white is a classic contemporary color palette that contrasts light and dark.
Casual
Also known as California Casual, casual style is a modern design style that is light and airy. It’s perfect for a bedroom because the place where you sleep is a great place to create a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. Make sure to incorporate natural light, white walls, and natural textiles and textures.
Farmhouse
Farmhouse style is also all about creating a comfortable, cozy, and welcoming space. It can lean more rustic or modern, depending on what you prefer. A farmhouse dresser with mirror may incorporate wood, whitewashed wood, distressed wood, or antiqued white wood.
