Colour for dresser
I feel like my kitchen is lacking depth and the dresser and shelf just blends in

Dresser transformation as part of kitchen update
Comments (11)They are all new doors etc in a mussell woodgrain. The rest of the kitchen can also be seen in before and after or in our projects. Thanks for your lovely comment, this kitchen transformation was amazing...See MorePlain dresser. Need ideas!
Comments (2)I have to say it looks rather nice as it is; however if you want to add detail you could add profiled mouldings to the front of the shelves and a cornice to the top. You could bling it up with different handles (but always keep the old ones, just in case you want to change it back) If you want to make it a stand-out feature choose a strong contrasting colour either for the wall at the back of the shelves or for the whole thing. If you want a natural look you could strip and wax the wood, but it may not all be the same, although you could always repaint it if that happens....See MoreShould I paint my dresser?
Comments (20)Hi Bridgette, It would look great painted in Elephant's Breath as suggested earlier. One thing to consider may be covering the inside of the top glass panels with a frosted window film. The translucent panels would glow beautifully with the lights. Also the film would hide items in the side displays meaning that the centre display would be the star of the show!...See MorePainting my dresser....what colour?
Comments (46)Danielle H - The artwork came from home sense. An impulse buy which really probably doesnt link but I just loved them so bought them! Now wondering about putting them elsewhere as worried it's all just a great big mess that will make my visitors get a headache :-). I'm still defo wanting to paper tho... might move the strip a bit further along to get the feel. And I'm still tidying up a bit to get a pic ;o)...See More

I agree with Ellie, there is still too much stuff in the kitchen and one or two well placed objects would be preferable, but, this was mentioned last time this kitchen came up.
I personally like the dresser as is, it blends really well with everything and has a calming effect. I would remove the mirror next to it, as it looks a little odd, plus goes with nothing near it, or, paint the frame to match the dresser.
The dresser looks much nicer and stands out more if you take all the objects near it away, and pans, cheeseboards etc shouldn't be hanging on a coat rack type thing, it just looks too cluttered. If they're not in use or used seldomly, then either get rid or put in cupboards. Same with the Knife block on the other side, it can't be in use, it points the wrong way, isn't near the cooking area and is blocked by other items. I know it sounds harsh, but, if you want things to look great, then you need to be able to see them, and displaying a few bits at a time, and then having a change and putting different bits out is preferable to all out at once.
Dresser as a stand alone item with nothing around it.
You can get away with a lot of neutrals that tone in your kitchen:-
there are yellows in your blinds
Also green -
If you want to go quite trendy and radical - heather works great with greens and whites
I still think, however, that stay as is and use objects for colour otherwise you'll close the kitchen in.
