The dream of many girls is to get a beautiful dressing table in the bedroom. Thanks to a large number of modern stylistic solutions, it will be possible to place it in a room of any size and design.
Features
Dressing tables are a piece of furniture, consisting of a table with a mirror and a seat. Their main functions include:
- storage of cosmetics and accessories;
- opportunity for women to carry out cosmetic procedures and care for themselves.
An important component of the design space of the dressing table becomes the organization of lighting, which, in principle, it is logical, because in the dark it will not work at all.
Conveniently, if a small low-emission chandelier located directly above the beauty zone will be chosen as a lamp. No less comfortable a pair of sconces on either side of the mirror. For frequent use it is better to initially choose a mirror with light. Having the lamps, it is important to ensure that they are not reflected in the mirror, and the light itself is soft and diffused. If the shape of the room allows, it is better to place a dressing table next to the window and thus ensure the availability of daylight.
Varieties
Such a component of furniture as a dressing table, can be sold in various variations. For example, Some models are integral with a mirror design, while others imply a separate mounting of the mirror on the wall. The second option is more convenient because the table, seat and mirror can be purchased separately, forming a more interesting set and saving on purchase. The console is sometimes sold and generally without a mirror. The latter is purchased small, desktop. This option is cheaper and more convenient for someone.
Corner dressing table allows you to fill unused space, besides helping out in a situation of small room footage. The corner model is made suspended, floor or console. The hanging table has no legs, and it is fixed on the wall. Floor table has four pillars and is, in general, the usual design. Console dressing table is considered something intermediate between the previous two. It simultaneously has supports and fixtures on the wall.
Materials and sizes
Of course, it is important that the dressing table looks good with the other furniture chosen for the room. However, this does not mean that the material should be absolutely the same. The same applies to the color scheme. Sometimes a contrast solution, on the contrary, will even look more advantageous. Most often for this piece of interior is selected wood, fiberboard or MDF, plastic.
These materials are universal, but glass or stone will not fit into every interior.
The tree is used practically any, and glossy gloss is given to it by a covering by a varnish, paint or wood stain. The metal is either used to make a complete structure, or only forged legs are made from it. Natural stone is used either for the countertop, or for a separate decor. Glass is used not only transparent, but also dark, and again it is chosen not for the whole structure, but only for the table top.If we are talking about fashionable modern materials, then you should choose furniture from eco-leather, especially if the room is decorated in the style of minimalism or ecostyle.
Colors
It looks very stylish contrast solution, as mentioned above. For example, if the furniture in the bedroom is white, then it makes sense to buy a table of black color. This option will allow you to further zone the space without using any additional tools. The reverse solution also works - in a room decorated in gray and even black shades, a snow-white table will look interesting.
In general, there are no rules for choosing a dressing table.
The furniture element will look original, the color corresponds to the bright coverlet on the bed or curtains. Universally looks glass transparent table, colors which are easy to add, using accessories. Of course, the table made in the same shade as a bed or bedside tables will always be universal.
Style decisions
Modern styles allow you to choose a dressing table that fits perfectly into any existing bedroom interior. Minimalism implies a solid and folding design, often white, with flat drawers without handles and, possibly, folding details. It will look good and wood, and glass, and even plastic. Provence style requires wooden furniture, an unusual mirror frame and decorative fabric elements echoing the pouf. For high-tech style, elongated and narrow consoles with metal legs are selected. The interior in retro style will perfectly complement the wooden construction, refined "antique".
Making a bedroom in the Baroque style, you will have to find a rather large structure made of solid wood and decorated with carvings. The mirror should be picked up with a heavy solid frame. For the style of futurism, a hanging console of a catchy shade and a bright backlight will do. For a room decorated in the Scandinavian style or loft, simple tables made of natural timber with a minimum number of decorative elements are suitable.
Recommendations for selection
When choosing a set with a mirror for the bedroom, you should consider the material used, and the design of the furniture, and its functionality. For example, if the hostess has a large number of cosmetics and accessories, then it makes sense to purchase a model equipped with a sufficient number of shelves and other storage spaces. Preferring closed boxes, it will be possible to create a more accurate picture. For a small bedroom should consider the possibility to build a dressing table directly in the closet.
It is more convenient to take the considered furniture product immediately complete with a seat: a pouf, an armchair or a chair.
The height of the seat should be chosen so that the person who is going to use it on a regular basis, was comfortable. Comfort - the main condition and with regards to the selection of the mirror. Each woman should decide for herself whether it will be convenient for her to observe herself to the waist, whether a small table mirror will be enough or even several copies will be required due to the width of the table. In the case when a very large mirror is taken, it is recommended to supplement it with a narrow console.
By design, the dressing table should match the rest of the items in the room. This concerns the material, color palette, and general stylistics. The size of the product should provide free access to it.
In addition, it is important that it looks organically in the room - if you purchase a miniature design in a huge hall, it will look ridiculous.
Placement tips
The location of the dressing table in the interior is largely determined by the shape of the table itself, as well as the configuration of the room.It is better to try to place near the window in order to have constant access to the source of natural light. For example, are considered optimal places near the head of the bed or by the window. This is where the corner table is ideally located. If this possibility is absent, you will have to use an additional light source. In the case when the room has a free niche, the furniture should be placed in it.
The advantage of any chosen place is the presence near the outlet.
If the room is small, and you still want a table, you can go for a trick. A small console is fixed on the cabinet door, and the folding chair is easily hidden behind the door during non-use. In addition, as mentioned above, it is worth thinking about hiding the furniture inside the cabinet. In the absence of space, one of the bedside tables should be abandoned, and the necessary space should be put in the empty seat and added with a hanging mirror. Finally, a great solution would be the transformation of the window sill.

A round mirror does not connect with the structure, but is individually suspended from the wall. Wooden table fixers echo the wooden legs of the stool, covered with a pink seat mat. A table lamp is used as a light source. A similar model of the toilet table can be added with hooks under the console, which will create additional possibilities for storing bags. A more glamorous bedroom style will allow you to choose a square mirror with bright backlighting.
Additional shelf under the mirror solves the issue of storing varnish. Folding chair is located on the hook, fixed on the next wall. If there is no place for a beauty zone at all, then the dressing table will turn out to be built even from a small suitcase.
