A touch of glam for every home
Whether you’re a makeup maven or a dapper gentleman, a dressing table suits all sorts of styles and needs. They’re great for applying that flawless makeup look, sprucing up your hair or just ensuring your cufflinks are in place. It’s about making sure you step out of the house feeling confident and ready to take on the day.
Essential for everyday elegance
Owning a dressing table can transform your daily routine. Learn to use it effectively, and you’ll save time and add a touch of elegance to your everyday life. And because they don’t need plugging in, you can place them anywhere – from a quiet bedroom corner to a bright bathroom nook.
How to choose the right dressing table for you
Choosing the right dressing table can transform your daily routine into a delightfully organised ritual. Here's how to select the ideal dressing table that not only matches your style but also meets your functional needs.
1. Assess your space
Before you start browsing, measure the space where you plan to place your dressing table. Consider the layout of your room and the size of furniture you need. A compact design might be ideal for a smaller bedroom, whereas a larger room could accommodate a grander vanity with extensive storage.
2. Determine your needs
Think about what you'll use the dressing table for. If it's mainly for applying makeup, you should consider ample surface space for products and a large mirror with good lighting. For general grooming, look for a table with integrated storage, like drawers or compartments, to organise your items neatly.
3. Choose a style that reflects you
The style of your dressing table should complement the rest of your bedroom's décor. From sleek modern designs with glossy finishes to rustic wooden models or vintage-inspired pieces, make sure your choice enhances the room's aesthetic.
4. Material matters
Durability is key when selecting a dressing table. Solid wood is robust and ages well but can be pricey. MDF coated with a veneer offers a more affordable alternative and comes in various finishes. Metal frames are another durable option, often providing a more modern look.
5. Consider the mirror
A good mirror is crucial for a dressing table. Decide if you need a fixed mirror or if you'd prefer one that can be adjusted or tilted. Some dressing tables come without a mirror, allowing you to choose one that meets your needs separately.
6. Lighting is key
Proper lighting is essential, especially if you use the dressing table for makeup. Look for options that offer good overhead lighting or consider placing your table near a natural light source. Alternatively, add a lamp or integrated lighting to ensure your face is evenly lit without shadows.
7. Stool or chair
Comfort is important, especially if you spend considerable time at your dressing table. Choose a stool or chair that fits comfortably under the table when not in use. Ensure it's the right height and offers good back support if you prefer a chair.
Make it your own
Personalising your dressing table enhances its appearance and improves its functionality. Here’s how you can take care of it and make it a true centrepiece of your room:
-
Choose your style
Select accessories that reflect your personal aesthetic. Whether vintage, modern or eclectic, ensure each item complements your style. Decorative trays, unique lamps or a bespoke mirror frame can add character.
-
Incorporate art
Place artwork or photos around your dressing table. A small gallery wall or a favourite framed quote can inspire you each day and make the space feel more personal.
-
Update hardware
Change out the knobs or handles on drawers to instantly elevate the look. Opt for hardware that matches your room's decor or adds a pop of colour or texture.
-
Add textiles
Use textiles to add warmth and texture. A plush velvet stool or a patterned rug underfoot can make the space feel cosy.
-
Organise creatively
Instead of standard organisers, look for unique containers like vintage dishes for jewellery, decorative mugs for makeup brushes or woven baskets for hair styling tools. These can serve as functional decor items.
-
Lighting
Good lighting is important. Consider a mix of sources like a main overhead light, focused task lighting and ambient lighting such as fairy lights or a small lamp. This blend not only ensures functionality but also enhances the mood of the space.
-
Personal items
Incorporate items that have personal significance, such as gifts, heirlooms or treasures collected from travels. These elements can serve as daily reminders of cherished memories.
How to maintain your dressing table
Caring for your dressing table ensures it remains a cherished part of your daily routine. Start by keeping it tidy. Clear away items after use to maintain a clean and inviting space. Regular dusting is essential, especially for crevices and drawers where dust and debris can accumulate.
For wooden tables, use a mild cleaner and a soft cloth to avoid scratches and preserve the finish. Glass surfaces benefit from a streak-free glass cleaner to enhance their shine. Metal parts should be lightly oiled occasionally to prevent rusting.
Organisation is key. Utilise drawer dividers or small containers to keep makeup and accessories neatly sorted. Regularly inspect your table for any signs of wear or damage. Promptly address issues such as loose screws or chipped surfaces to keep the dressing table in optimal condition.
Lastly, protect your table from direct sunlight and avoid placing hot items directly on the surface to prevent discolouration and damage. Following these simple steps will help extend the life and beauty of your dressing table.
