Bedroom Dressing Tables

Vanity tables are a symbol of elegance, functionality and self-care

Welcome to the realm of dressing tables, where beauty meets functionality in a symphony of elegance and convenience. This is not just furniture; it's a personal space, a sanctuary for self-care and a tribute to the art of getting ready. A dressing table is more than a piece of furniture; it's an essential accessory for you who value your personal grooming time and morning routine.

The dressing table, also known as a makeup vanity or a makeup table, has a rich history dating back centuries. Once a symbol of luxury and status in the aristocratic society, today it has become a must-have accessory in every modern home, regardless of social standing. It's a testament to the fact that everyone deserves a little luxury, a little space to pamper themselves before stepping out into the world.

Choosing the ideal material for your dressing table

Selecting the right material for your bedroom dressing table is an important decision, influencing both durability and the overall aesthetic of your space. Here's a guide to help you make an informed choice:

Solid wood vanity units: timeless elegance and durability

When it comes to classic dressing tables, solid wood stands out as a timeless and sturdy choice. A mango wood vanity table, for instance, introduces a unique grain pattern and a raw finish, adding character to your space. Oak and pine are equally excellent options, offering a rustic touch to your bedroom while ensuring long-lasting quality.

Dressing tables made of MDF: affordable modern elegance

Medium-density fibreboard (MDF), an engineered wood, presents an affordable and sleek option for modern dressing tables. Known for its durability, MDF requires minimal maintenance and ensures longevity. 

The smooth texture of MDF allows for customisable paint finishes, providing a broad spectrum of colour options for your bedroom dressing table. Additionally, MDF dressing tables are lightweight and more budget-friendly compared to their solid wood counterparts.

Choosing the perfect dressing table model

When selecting a dressing table for your space, the diverse designs available offer versatility to cater to your specific needs. Although a dressing table can add charm to a bathroom or hallway, it is most commonly placed in the bedroom.

Makeup table with mirror: glamorous and functional

Tailored for your makeup needs, a makeup table with a mirror provides an ideal setup for flawless application. Some models even feature built-in LED bulbs, delivering professional-grade illumination for your beauty routine. Additionally, these tables offer ample storage space for beauty essentials, ensuring your cosmetics are conveniently within reach.

Modern dressing table: compact and multifunctional

Ideal for those requiring a larger piece usable in various areas of the home, a modern dressing table offers ample storage through shelves and drawers. While traditionally devoid of a mirror, some models in our collection come equipped with mirrors, making them suitable for hallways, dressing rooms or bathrooms.

Corner dressing table: space-efficient and stylish

Designed to fit snugly into tight corners, the corner dressing table maximises storage in limited spaces. Featuring a large locker for easy access and an open shelf below, this table keeps your essentials organised. 

The option to add a 3-panel mirror with LED bulbs provides a 3-sided perspective for makeup application. Some models also incorporate lower shelves on the side panels, adding practicality for cosmetics and decorative items.

Choosing the perfect style for your dressing table

Selecting the right style for your bedroom dressing table is key to creating a harmonious and visually pleasing space. Our dressing tables not only serve as functional furniture. They also stand out as captivating decorative pieces, available in a diverse range of designs to cater to every taste.

Contemporary elegance

If your interior design preferences lean towards the contemporary, our collection of dressing tables offers an array of options to complement your style. Consider a sleek white MDF dressing table with wooden legs—an excellent choice for a modern bedroom. Choose from a palette of neutral colours, including white, black and grey. You can further personalise the look with options like glossy or matte finishes.

Vintage charm

For a bedroom centrepiece that exudes beauty and elegance, explore our vintage dressing tables. Crafted from solid wood with intricate baroque designs, these pieces offer a timeless aesthetic.

Mastering the art of styling in your dressing room

Elevating the aesthetics of your bedroom dressing table involves a thoughtful combination of elements to create a personalised and visually appealing space. If you've opted for a makeup table with open shelves, consider the following tips to enhance its charm:

• Personal touch with memorabilia

Utilise the open shelves to showcase your personality by adorning them with memorabilia or framed photos. This touch of individuality adds character to your dressing area, making it uniquely yours.

• Illumination magic

Enhance the ambience by incorporating a lovely table lamp on your dressing table. The warm glow not only serves a functional purpose but also adds a cosy and inviting accent to your setting. For an extra touch of magic, weave in some string lights around the mirror to create a soft and enchanting atmosphere.

• Natural elegance with plants

Bring the outdoors inside by placing fresh flowers or potted plants on your dressing table. The natural elements not only infuse elegance but also contribute to a refreshing and vibrant environment, elevating the overall aesthetic.

• Gallery wall inspiration

Position your vanity unit against a gallery wall for a truly inspiring design. This arrangement allows you to showcase your favourite fashion prints or mood photos, creating a visually dynamic backdrop that transforms your dressing space into a gallery of personal inspiration.

• Coordinated seating selection

Achieve a sense of balance and creativity by selecting a stool that complements both the size and style of your makeup table. The stool serves not only as a functional seating element but also as an integral part of the overall design, contributing to a harmonious and well-curated look.

Mastering the art of styling your dressing table involves a blend of personal expression and design finesse. By incorporating these tips, you can transform your dressing area into a captivating and harmonious space that reflects your unique style and preferences.

What is the right size for a dressing table? 

Choosing the right size for your makeup table is crucial for ensuring both functionality and aesthetic appeal. Regardless of the style you opt for, accessibility from a seated position is paramount. Typically, the standard height for a bedroom dressing table is around 75 cm, with sit-down vanities ranging from 69 to 75 cm.

The dimensions of the table, particularly its width and length, depend on the amount of tabletop space required for organising your cosmetics and accessories effectively.

When selecting a dressing table with a mirror, it's essential to maintain balance and stability. Ensure there are a few centimetres on both sides of the vanity top to support the mirror adequately. Before purchasing a mirror separately, take precise measurements of your vanity. 

The recommended distance between the mirror's edge and the vanity's edge is five to ten centimetres, contributing to a visually appealing and well-proportioned beauty station.
