Design and color
Many manufacturers of modern furniture offer collections that already have a dressing table, created in the same style as a bed, wardrobe, or bedside table. The most common option is the white model. It can be complemented with forged elements and decorative carvings, which will look good in a vintage interior.
A pastel-colored table is perfect for bright bedrooms. It has a beneficial effect on a person and calms him down. For modern design, the best solution is black. Such furniture looks impressive, and besides, it is not as easily soiled as light furniture.
Dressing tables for the bedroom are created in a variety of styles:
- Empire is a style reminiscent of antique. Characterized by smooth and graceful lines, primary colors: white with gold, silver, beige.
- Romanticism - wooden furniture in soft colors is made in this style. Models in white, beige, blue, pink, hand-painted are in demand.
- Biedermeier - a style that was created for the middle class, similar to Baroque, but less pretentious. It is characterized by furniture made of light wood, bent legs, and soft curves.
- Country - it is characterized by the effect of antiquity and careless patterns. The furniture can be quite massive, in natural colors - beige, brown, gray.
- Provence is characterized by discreet furniture that fits well into the bedroom and does not have unnecessary details.
- Baroque - dressing tables have right angles, original legs, a twisted shape and a lot of gold or silver, eye-catching decor.
- Classicism is a style in which wood with emphasized texture predominates. The main decoration of furniture is carved patterns. The mirror at the dressing table is of impressive size.
- Constructivism is characterized by clear forms. The shelves and drawers are also very laconic, the colors can be bright, but there are not many of them - one or two.
- Minimalism - the dressing table has no unnecessary decorations, it is simple and functional. Glass and metal elements can be used, colors – silver, black, white, gray.
- Kitsch - it is characterized by a mixture of many different styles, bright flashy colors (orange, green, purple). The furniture and dressing table in the room have the right not to match either in style or shade.
- Eclecticism is a mixture of classical style, neatly diluted with others, for example, oriental and ethno. It would be interesting to use the dressing table for purposes other than its intended purpose, but, for example, as a desk.

Types of dressing tables
Dressing tables are usually divided into types based on the design and design of the main element - the mirror
It is this detail that performs the main functional and decorative function, focuses attention and highlights the necessary areas in the interior. Based on this, we can identify the following types of tables:
The dressing table is a classic version, it has a single large mirror, which is located in the center. You will probably give it preference if you like to dress in full length while standing in front of a mirror. It is also suitable for a small room - a large mirror will make it visually larger and fill it with daylight.
Trellis - a mirror consists of three parts, one central and two narrower ones - side ones. This design is designed for two-way side viewing and is perfect for DIY hair styling. It is this feature that compensates for the lack of one central mirror, which forces the use of an additional mirror.
Table with rotating mirror – has a two-way mirror that can be turned to the normal or enlarged side. It is mounted on a movable platform, so it needs to be placed away from the wall so that it can be deployed. It is ideal for applying makeup or caring for your skin. Will fit into medium or large rooms due to the features of the turning mechanism.
Console - a dressing table with a hidden mirror that extends as needed. This option has both advantages - the mirror is less dirty, and disadvantages - its size is always limited by the area of the tabletop. You can use such a table not only for its intended purpose, but also as a table for a laptop or filling out papers.
A dressing table without a mirror is an excellent solution for small rooms; a mirror for it must be purchased separately, and the hostess places it independently. Installed on the top of a chest of drawers or hung on a nearby wall.
A chest of drawers with a mirror is an excellent alternative to a classic dressing table, unlike which it has expanded space for placing various items. This is a great option for women who have a huge amount of cosmetics.
Corner dressing table for the bedroom: varieties
For a small room, a compact dressing table will be just right. This could be an unusual dressing table in the form of a folding table. In this case, the mirror can be hung on the wall.
Another way to save space in the bedroom is to use a dressing table instead of a bedside table. Or another option is to install a miniature table with a narrow tabletop against the wall. In both cases, the mirror is placed on the wall.
Chairs are another necessary attribute for a woman’s table. Their sizes should be small so that they do not stand out from the overall concept of the design solution. Funny chairs made of transparent plastic, which slide under the table and look almost invisible, have an original look.
If you want to visually expand the room, you can hang a large mirror on the wall opposite the window.
Tables in such rooms do not have to be mini-sized; they are usually equipped with several convenient drawers; their design can be chosen as desired. The table arrangement options are also varied. Since they require good lighting, a place near a window will be most suitable for them. But in any case, the addition of artificial light will not be superfluous.
A corner dressing table with a mirror looks good in large bedrooms. It is equipped with an incredible number of drawers, the capacity of which is enough for even the most ardent fashionista and beauty. An elegant trellis will give the room more air and space.
Taking into account functionality and dimensions, tables are divided into types:
- classic option. This model of dressing table has a volumetric panel with a mirror, convenient to use. In addition, the table is equipped with small drawers in which you can place all the necessary supplies and accessories.
- The dressing table, as a rule, is equipped with a large, almost full-length mirror.
- trellis, equipped with three mirrors: central (large) and two side (smaller). The central part is fixed, and the side parts are movable. At the same time, when you look in the mirror, you see a three-dimensional reflection.
- with a folding mirror that is used when necessary and then hidden inside. This is a more modern version of the table.
Existing types of dressing tables can be seen in more detail in the photo.
Designers have long picked up the trend of placing a toilet stand in the bedroom, and made sure that the bedroom set was in the same style. Nowadays, you can easily find sets that include several models of dressing tables with varying degrees of functionality to choose from.
In order for the dressing table to fit stylishly into the bedroom interior, it is necessary to select it taking into account the design of the room
Types of dressing tables for bedrooms:
- Table with drawers and wall mirror. This is a traditional option that allows you to fit a lot of what you need.
- Dressing table complete with wardrobe. Some wardrobe designs may include space for toiletries and activities.
- Console with mirror. A lightweight version of the dressing table will be the console. This is suitable for those who do not need a large arsenal of jewelry and cosmetics.
- Tabletop mirror on the dressing table. In this case, any table, even a desk, can act as a dressing table. This is suitable if you need to do some written work or work on the computer in the bedroom.
- Table with folding mirror. Wonderful for small bedrooms where you need to combine different areas of activity in 1 space.
Corner models are often used in the interior to smooth out the corner, thereby creating more free space. Also, this type of dressing table is used when the room is small enough and there is not enough space to place furniture along the wall. There are several types of corner dressing tables for the bedroom:
- Floor. Such tables stand on at least four supports and can be easily installed anywhere.
- Suspension. There are no floor supports, because the tabletop itself is attached only to the wall. It is not possible to move such furniture yourself.
- Cantilevered. This is something in between the two previous types. This table has two or more supports, but it is still attached to the wall.
Touching on the topic of quality, I would like to note that the production of a dressing table can be established even at home, and craftsmen from the Moscow region will even more so make you a real masterpiece from popular inexpensive materials. However, you need to immediately decide whether such an inexpensive but not very high-quality product will suit you?

For some reason, it is customary to place all the furniture either against the wall or in the middle of the room. And they forget about the angle, using it irrationally. Unless they put a ficus or a floor lamp there. Meanwhile, a corner dressing table is an ideal way to solve the problem. Especially in a small room.
You just need to decide on the proportions:
- a large corner table in a small room will be too bulky and pretentious;
- a small table in a large room will simply get lost among the interior items.
A corner table is good because it softens the corners of the room and helps to rationally use the space of a small room. And also corner furniture visually expands the space. Tables are usually complemented with mirrors, which visually increases the space and provides an additional source of lighting.
All three mounting options are suitable for a corner table. They can be either in a classic version or a trellis is appropriate. You just have to be careful with the dressing table. His mirror is bulky. Visually, it can both expand the height of the ceiling and press down with its weight, making the room gloomy and uncomfortable.
You can choose any shape for such a table: L-shaped, corner, square, trapezoidal and even a small round table will fit perfectly into the corner of the room.
Dressing table sizes
Of the parameters, there are only two that are really worth paying attention to. This is the height of the tabletop and its minimum width
The height of the dressing table is determined in much the same way as the height of the desk. In theory, it should be matched to the height of the owner. After all, women spend a lot of time looking in the mirror. At the same time as the height of the table, you need to choose a chair, armchair or banquette - it depends on what you plan to place next to it.
Boudoir table - for a classic style bedroom
A certain standard is the tabletop height of 75 cm, but you need to focus on your height. Next, we determine from the height of the seat. When a woman sits, her legs should be bent at the knees at an angle of 90° or close to this value - this is the most comfortable position. So choosing the height of a chair or armchair is not so difficult.
You also need to know the minimum width of the tabletop. In stationary models (with legs) it is 40-45 cm, in wall-hung models it is 30-35 cm. A lot of cosmetics will fit on such a tabletop, and there will be enough space in the drawers. If you plan to use some of the drawers as a chest of drawers, the width can be increased to 50-55 cm. But keep in mind that even with a depth of 40 cm, organizers (space delimiters) are required for cosmetics. For even deeper ones, stationary dividers (made of plywood or fiberboard) will be needed, otherwise it will be completely inconvenient.
The dimensions of the dressing table are adjusted depending on the height of the owner and the available space
If the women's table is equipped with a hanging mirror, you also need to know at what height to hang the mirror. This parameter also depends on height. Sitting in front of a mirror, a lady should look approximately at the center of the mirror surface. If desired and the size is sufficient, you can lower the edge by 10-15 cm. The main thing is that the top of the head is visible.
How to choose a dressing table? Basic Tips
Every woman dreams of her own corner - a small dressing table in the bedroom. For girls, this is the place where the day begins and ends, where they style their hair, perform cosmetic procedures, and apply makeup. There are many options for vanities, so let's try to figure out what to look for.
Decide on the dimensions. For a small bedroom it is better to choose a narrow or corner table.
Decide for what purposes you need a dressing table. Will you apply and remove makeup, store jewelry, and cosmetics? If the table will be used for applying cosmetics, a mirror will be required. It can be built-in or installed separately, for example, on a wall. Make sure you have backlighting. The backlight can also be built into the mirror (spot light), or it is possible to additionally install a lamp. The light from the lamp should not fall vertically from behind or from above, otherwise facial features will be distorted or the strain on the eyes will increase. Don't forget about natural light - the dressing table is located on the side of the window.
If you plan to style your hair, it is advisable to have a couple of free sockets to connect a curling iron, hair dryer and additional available products. If you store cosmetics and jewelry, think about the size and number of shelves and storage drawers you will need. If you plan to sit with your laptop and have a cup of coffee, then a table without a mirror and many drawers will do.
What types of dressing tables are there? Dressing table - considered a classic type. A fixed mirror is installed in the center to view the items of clothing in full length.
In a trellis, unlike a dressing table, the mirror consists of three parts - central and side. This makes it convenient to create hairstyles, because by moving the mirrors you can see the styling on the back of your head.
A console is a table in which a mirror is placed in a folding tabletop and is no larger in size than the width of the tabletop. Under the lid there are often small drawers for storing accessories and cosmetics. When folded, it can be used as a desk or laptop table.
A table without a mirror is suitable if you need a table to leisurely relax with a laptop over a cup of coffee. If desired, the mirror can be purchased separately and mounted on the wall, or an empty space can be decorated with a painting. If you need a regular dressing table without a mirror, go to our website in a special section.
A table with a rotating mirror is ideal for applying makeup. Because the tilt is adjustable, you can see the smallest details, but there must be a distance between the table and the wall. Wall mounted dressing table - takes up little space and frees up space on the floor. It can be installed at any distance from the floor, so it can be easily adjusted to suit any height. If you are interested in a wall table, we recommend paying attention to dressing table No. 56 - due to the fact that it can be made in any color scheme, it will organically fit into any interior.
Chest of drawers with mirror - has many drawers where not only accessories are placed, but also personal items. The only negative is that there is no hole for your feet, so you won’t be able to sit at such a table for a long time. You can purchase this model on our website.
Be sure to consider a chair or soft ottoman. The latter would be a good option if you wear makeup.
It is better to choose a light tabletop - all the objects placed on it will be visible. The dressing table can be located in other rooms if there is not enough space in the bedroom. For example, in the living room, hallway, bath. When placing a dressing table in the bathroom, remember that this is not the optimal place to store cosmetics due to high humidity.
Dressing table sizes for women
Dimensions are one of the most important selection criteria. It depends on them how comfortable the future hostess will feel at such a table and whether it is convenient to store toiletries in it.
The table must be at least 75 cm
There are certain standards for the size of ladies' bedside tables. This parameter can vary depending on the woman’s height, as well as the length of the product: the shorter it is, the higher the table. As a rule, the maximum height is 80 cm.
The minimum width is 26 cm. This parameter determines how convenient it will be to place cosmetics on the countertop.
The length is determined by the size of the bedroom. It also depends on the design of the table itself: whether it has built-in light bulbs, drawers or a cabinet (their depth), how many there are and what size they are. The size of the adjacent mirror is also important: its width is no more than the length of the table. The minimum table length is 45 cm.
Select the size of the dressing table depending on the area of the room, keep in mind that the decor and unusual design will increase the space taken up
Varieties of size range
With all the variety offered by furniture manufacturers, we can distinguish the following varieties of the most popular sizes.
Tables measuring 40 cm wide and 80 cm long are a compact version of furniture without a cabinet. It is sometimes equipped with a drawer for storing accessories, located under the tabletop. These options are ideal for a small bedroom.
The best option for a small bedroom is a small dressing table without cabinets
The height of standard samples varies between 75-80 cm. Such tables combine compactness with comfort and spaciousness. Standard models with a cabinet are 100 cm long and 50 cm wide.
The table model, standard in size, is suitable for almost any bedroom due to its compactness.
For a large bedroom, the optimal choice is a table with two cabinets. The width of this model is from 50 cm or more. The height is standard, 75 cm, and the length is at least 120 cm. This is necessary so that the woman sitting behind it can sit comfortably between the tables. Such models are ideal for large bedrooms, as they do not seem too bulky in a spacious room.
A table with two cabinets requires a large space so as not to clutter up an already small room
Types of structures
Taking into account the design and additional elements, the following types are distinguished:
Classic dressing table - is a regular table with four legs, placed against the wall on which the mirror is located. May have a drawer.
The classic version is compact
A dressing table is an option with a high mirror, which is mounted into the tabletop from the inside.
The dressing table is usually equipped with drawers or a cabinet.
There are versions of dressing tables with a folding mirror, which are distinguished by their convenience and practicality. Another option for a dressing table is a corner one. It is spacious and compact.
The corner vanity saves space by being compactly located in the corner by the window.
A trellis is similar to a dressing table, but in this case there is not one, but three mirrors. The central one is fixed, the side mirrors can be rotated. This gives you the opportunity to examine yourself from different angles.
Trellis due to three mirrors, two of which are rotating, gives a better overview when doing makeup
Backlight options
The best lighting for a makeup table is natural daylight, so place the furniture near a window. This option is not always easy to implement, and therefore it is necessary to use additional lamps. Products must meet a number of requirements:
- Intensity. Lamps equipped with a dimmer will help you understand how makeup looks in different lighting conditions. The devices will be more expensive compared to traditional products.
- Directionality. The light must be directed to the center of the reflection, otherwise shadows will appear on the face.
- Degree of distraction. Preferably a soft glow that is pleasing to the eye. Lamps made of plastic or frosted glass are optimal. You should not use models decorated with patterns.
- Power. If there are a couple of lamps, the dressing table will be fully illuminated with 100 W lamps. If there are more than two sources, 3.5 W products are suitable.
- Colorful temperature. Cool shades reflect fine details, while warm shades are pleasing to the eye. The ideal solution would be neutral light (4100–5000K).
Tips for choosing a sewing table and making it yourself
The quality of your makeup or hair styling depends on the correct lighting of the mirror. The described tables are complemented by different types of lighting:
- Outdoor. Equipped with cartridges, located on the surface of the mirror. Pros: ease of use, ability to replace the light bulb. The downside is that if the device is selected incorrectly, the reflection will be distorted.
- Internal. The lamps are mounted around the perimeter of the mirror. One of the advantages is the attractive appearance, the disadvantage is low brightness.
- Special. Serves for decorating dressing rooms and provides an optimal level of lighting. The disadvantage of such illumination is its high cost.

Special
Typically, when arranging makeup tables, the following lamp options are used:
- With lampshades. It is worth giving preference to white light, then the reflection will be the clearest. Optimal glass and plastic products provide high quality lighting. Their disadvantage is that the color options distort the shades.
- Halogen spot devices. They are not used too often because they produce blurry light. They perform a decorative function; comfortable use is possible only if there is a large number of lamps.
- Sconce. They will appeal to people for whom the appearance of the makeup table is important. Pros: looks attractive, rotating models provide ease of use. The downside of sconces is that sometimes you have to use additional light sources.
- Halogen. The body of the product consists of quartz, which does not tolerate grease, so the light bulb will have to be changed by holding it with a napkin or piece of cloth. Pros: long service life, even soft light. Cons: heats up during operation, color distortion.
- Fluorescent and neon light bulbs. Placed on top of the mirror, they provide rich light. Their disadvantage is that the lamps distort colors, so they are not suitable for makeup tables.
- LEDs and LED strips. Used as a supplement to main light sources. Pros: attractive appearance, optimal intensity, power, long service life. Minus - they are not used independently.

The level of lighting for dressing tables is selected in accordance with personal preferences and recommendations of specialists. It is better not to use classic incandescent lamps when applying makeup. These products give yellowish tones to the shades of cosmetics.
You cannot place the table directly in front of the window, as the sun's rays will glare, creating unnecessary inconvenience.

Popular configurations
Multifunctional dressing tables are different from the usual ones. Nowadays transforming models are at the peak of popularity. When folded, they are simple desks or work tables. Often such models are equipped with many drawers and mirrors. Movable structures will allow you to view yourself from all angles.
In classic styles
When it comes to furniture, classic style is a very broad concept. It includes, in particular, Baroque, characterized by pretentious forms, beautiful curves, and a large number of decorations. A dressing table created in this style, by its appearance alone, indicates that it is a luxury item. Gothic models with elongated shapes and pointed corners and sweet country style, reminiscent of quiet life in the countryside, are in fashion.
Modern designers and constructors have managed to combine classic lines and functionality of designs. In the furniture departments you can find the following dressing tables:
- a small dressing table-box with a mirror that is attached to the wall;
- a design made of a mirror and a small console on legs (bent);
- dressing table with a beautifully designed mirror, two cabinets on both sides.

Modern style
Clear forms, a limited number of details and various materials are all signs of modern style, minimalism and constructivism. Its characteristic feature is the use of glass, metal, and plastic. They are also used for high-tech, futurism, and other styles.
The designers have tried to create many variants of models for a modern style, sometimes looking quite unexpected. This could be a small compact shelf with a drawer, which you won’t recognize as a dressing table until the mirror is laid out. Another interesting variety is a table (narrow or massive) with a reflective part separately attached to the wall. Dressers that resemble a cube with folded mirrors look original.
Mirror design options
The mirror can be mounted on the wall as an addition to the dressing table or be part of it. It all depends on what style is chosen and how much space there is in the interior to accommodate such furniture. For some dressing tables, you even have to purchase a mirror separately. It can be single, double, triple. Direct options look ideal in rooms of the correct shape; they are recommended to be installed between two windows in order to maximize daylight. The disadvantage of such models is the inability to examine yourself from all sides. Three-leaf dressing tables are usually angular. Their side parts make the interior more balanced and interesting. The undoubted advantage of the models is the ability to place furniture in the corner.
Features of special make-up mirrors
A mirror intended for applying makeup first appeared at the beginning of the twentieth century. The product was popular among movie and pop stars and creative personalities. Nowadays, special reflective surfaces are successfully used in city apartments and country houses. They serve as full-fledged decorative elements and allow women to take care of themselves in the most comfortable conditions. The advantages of such models include:
- Uniform light. The flow is dispersed over the entire mirror surface. The lamps are positioned so that the face can be clearly seen from all sides. As a result, you won’t have to focus on the window.
- Ease of use. The makeup table does not require additional lighting. As a result, a woman will be able to use the furniture in the morning, mid-day or evening without causing inconvenience to household members.
Advantages of using a window sill table in modern interiors
Dressing room mirrors fit harmoniously into any interior. Despite the fact that the products are associated with retro style, they will look attractive in classic design, hi-tech, minimalism, and Provence. The models have a bright appearance and bring a touch of luxury to the room.
Features of makeup tables
Dressing tables can be of different shapes and heights, and with or without a built-in mirror. Tables differ in shape, fastening method, materials of manufacture, etc.
Fastening method
According to the method of fastening the headsets it can be:
- Floor-standing;
- Console;
- Hanging.
Models of tables with floor mounting have four points of support and are easy to move around the room; they are characterized by large capacity and functionality.
Console tables can have 2-4 support legs and the back is attached to the wall. This headset is compact and stable, but causes some difficulties when moving.
Sets with hanging mounts are very popular in Art Nouveau style interiors. They take up a minimal amount of space, and in order to move them, they will have to be dismantled.
Form
All dressing tables are divided into corner and linear according to their shape. If everything is clear with linear ones, then corner tables require additional classification. They can be of different shapes:
- Triangular;
- L-shaped;
- Pentagonal, trapezoidal;
- Oval.
If a piece of furniture is intended for the corner of a room, it does not mean that it should be straight and exactly repeat the shape of the wall. Triangular-shaped makeup tables are compact and roomy; they can be installed in the corner of the room or anywhere else, since the angle of inclination is less than 90°.
L-shaped dressing tables are designed to be located in the corner of the room. They are comfortable, roomy and compact. On such tables you can find a place not only for cosmetic accessories, but also for a laptop, for example.
Dressing tables with trapezoidal and pentagonal shapes are popular in creating a classic interior. Women especially like such options, since the design of many models includes a large number of drawers and bedside tables. Often, pentagonal tables come with mirrors with three doors.
The peculiarity of trapezoidal tables is that it allows you to place the mirror as close as possible to the face, which simplifies the makeup process.
Round and oval makeup tables are distinguished by their special elegance. However, with their small capacity, they take up a lot of space.
Transformable dressing tables are gaining popularity
. They are disguised as ordinary desks or bedside tables. In their normal state, they look like ordinary work surfaces, but as soon as the tabletop is raised, a mirror and additional shelves for cosmetics appear in front of the hostess.
Material of manufacture
When choosing a makeup table, it is important to pay attention to the material from which the piece of furniture was made. This affects both the aesthetic appearance of the table and its durability.
The most popular materials for making makeup tables:
- Tree. This is a classic material for furniture production. This is a durable raw material that will allow you to create a piece of furniture in absolutely any style. Carvings on wooden tables perfectly decorate furniture made in the Baroque or Provence style.
- Metal. This durable material is most often used to make table frames. If the furniture frame is not made of steel or bronze, the products will become deformed and quickly lose their presentation. Metal makeup tables (or forged parts) are often used in interiors in Art Nouveau, neo-Baroque or high-tech styles.
- Glass. This material is perfect for people who love minimalism in the interior. Modern technologies make it possible to make furniture made from such material durable and reliable.
- Plastic. Dressing tables made of this material retain their original appearance for many years. More often used in high-tech style interiors.
Dimensions
The dimensions of dressing tables may vary, but the height in most cases remains the same. The standard height of a makeup table is 75 cm. There is a chair behind the table, so the tabletop should be high enough.
The minimum width of the table is 26 cm, and the length is 46 cm. Smaller values can only be obtained if a hanging shelf is used as a table, but this option has the least functionality. Such table models are usually minimalist, with 1-2 lower shelves.
Most often you can find makeup tables with the following dimensions:
- 80x60 cm;
- 100x50 cm;
- 120x60 cm.
The length of the table can, in rare cases, reach 140 cm. But such a set is only suitable in large rooms, as it takes up a lot of space and looks cumbersome.
Backlight Features
For ease of self-care, ladies prefer to have a dressing table with an illuminated mirror. A few years ago, only table lamps were used. For good lighting, there can be at least a dozen lamps, but they usually use 40 W and no more. The light turns out warm, bright enough when the sources are located around the perimeter, the lighting is uniform without shadows.
Mirror lighting for a dressing table is done on the sides or along the perimeter
Even, bright lighting for makeup is good. Due to rising prices for electricity, old incandescent lamps are being replaced everywhere with more economical LED lamps. Some LED lamps distort color perception. If you install such lamps to illuminate your dressing table, your makeup may be blurred. Therefore, when choosing lamps, pay attention to the glow temperature. Ideally, natural or warm and not too high brightness.
They also illuminate the mirror using an LED strip. Using the same principle, white LEDs with a natural warm glow are selected. When installing, the LED strip must be protected from overheating. For better heat dissipation, a strip of metal (radiator) is laid, and an LED strip is glued onto it.
Stores sell various illuminated mirrors, so you can purchase a separate table and a mirror with lighting for makeup. In many cases, you can limit yourself to a compact desktop option.
You can make a mirror to suit almost any taste and color in a glass workshop. See the example in the video.

Making a dressing table with your own hands
In furniture stores you can find a large catalog of dressing tables of various models. There are options from budget to exclusive, from simple to multifunctional. But situations are different, and not everyone can afford such a purchase. There is an alternative option - to make a dressing table yourself. Essentially, this is a standard-sized dressing table with a mirror and drawers. Decorating a piece of furniture for women is a creative work, the result of which depends entirely on imagination. A “female” table should reflect the style and character of the owner.
The main element of the makeup table is the mirror. It will serve not only as a decoration for the furniture, but also for the entire room. In this case, it is better not to skimp on quality. Makeup artists recommend using two mirrors - a large (stationary) and a small (portable) one. One should be hung on the wall and the other should be placed on the table.
Lamps will add charm and comfort to the women's corner. It is better to buy two identical or complementary lamps and install them on the sides of the mirror. To create Hollywood chic, be sure to install light bulbs around the perimeter of the mirror.
Creative people can choose a plain lampshade and decorate it themselves. But you should be careful with this: prints and large drawings will not work!
To store cosmetics and other accessories, it is better to buy ready-made containers and organizers. You need to select them in the same style and, most importantly, make sure that it matches the interior of the room.
Interesting! You can take jars, containers, and other containers available at home and cover them with fabric or decorate them to your taste.
You can store makeup brushes, mascaras, lipsticks, pencils and more in them. To add a little glamor, you can use rhinestones, sparkles and beautiful pieces of material during the decorating process.
Forged floor lamps, carved frames with black and white photographs, wooden furniture, combs and accessories will help give the corner an antique atmosphere.
There is no need to try hard with decorations and decorations, since cosmetics and perfume bottles themselves do an excellent job of this task. Place perfume, especially in beautiful bottles, in the most visible place, organize a separate perforated area

The dimensions of the dressing table are determined, first of all, by the size of the room in which it will be installed. Agree that a tiny console will look ridiculous in a 30-meter bedroom, just like a massive dressing table in a narrow corridor.
The dimensions of the product depend on its design, the presence of mirrors, shelves and drawers:
- The tabletop height standard is a constant value equal to 75 centimeters. It is defined as the level at which the body of a person sitting at the table will be located.
- The depth and width of the tabletop vary, as does the height of the mirror.
- The narrow version of the tabletop will be up to 26 centimeters. And the minimum length of the product is 45 centimeters.
- The standard dimensions of the product are quite difficult to name. Usually, it is believed that dimensions of 80x40 centimeters provide the necessary proportions for this type of furniture.
- A large dressing table usually includes many cabinets and shelves, which is why it looks quite massive. This type of furniture will look proportional at a height of no more than 80 centimeters. The width of such a product should be 50-60 centimeters, and the length – up to 140 centimeters.
- If the mirror, in addition to its main function, also plays a decorative role, then you should choose models where the width of the mirror will be at least half the length of the tabletop itself.
