Every woman knows that the Dressing table is where the magic happens when you’re getting ready to leave the house. Your dressing table is much more than a functional piece of furniture for storing make-up, accessories, and clothes – this is your little haven for ensuring you always go out looking your best and feeling good.
Having everything you need at hand and the right mirrors and lighting to see what you’re doing is essential, not to mention the time to relax and focus on some essential pampering.
Organization is the key, so find a place for everything you need, from your make-up essentials to your favorite pieces of jewelry and eliminate the clutter. A couple of handy hooks so you can hang up a hair dryer and curling tongs will also prevent any tangled wires and let you complete your look with ease.
As well as these all-important practical concerns, a good dressing table can also provide a stylish centerpiece to your bedroom. Why not add some romance with a vintage look Victorian dressing table? Natural woods such as oak, mahogany, or walnut also look stunning in any room, adding a real touch of elegance.
In smaller bedrooms, a compact dressing table will work better and there are plenty of contemporary designs to suit your style. Not everyone’s a fan of the boudoir look, but your dressing table doesn’t need to look prissy. There are plenty of simple designs that you can accessorize so they reflect your personality and don’t look like something you’ve brought home from the office.
The mirrored look is currently very popular, a modern trend that also borrows from the ornate vintage look of Venetian mirrors and is perfect if you’re after a more unusual, individual style.
Make sure you arrange clear but not overly harsh lighting so you can see what you’re doing when you’re putting on your make-up and, last but definitely not least, don’t forget to ensure you’ve got a comfy seat to relax in while you work your magic.
