Dressing tables for the bedroom

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 can be placed in a room of any size and design.

Dressing tables are a piece of furniture that consists of a table with a mirror and a seat. Their main functions include:

• storage of cosmetics and accessories;
• an opportunity for a woman to carry out cosmetic procedures and take care of herself.

It is convenient if a small low-hanging chandelier located directly above the beauty zone is chosen as a lamp. A pair of sconces on either side of the mirror is no less convenient. For frequent use, it is best to initially choose an illuminated mirror. When positioning the lamps, it is important to ensure that they do not reflect in the mirror, and that the light itself is soft and diffused. If the shape of the room allows, then it is better to place the dressing table next to the window and thus ensure the presence of daylight.

A piece of furniture such as a dressing table can be sold in different variations. For example, some models are a one-piece design with a mirror, 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 without a mirror at all.The latter is purchased small, desktop. This option is cheaper, but for some it is more convenient.

A corner dressing table allows you to fill unused space, and also helps out in a situation of a small footage of the room. The corner model is made suspended, floor or console. The suspended table has no legs, but it is fixed on the wall. The floor table has four legs and is, in general, a conventional design. A console dressing table is considered to be something in between the previous two. It has both supports and wall mounts.

It is, of course, important that the dressing table looks good with the other furniture chosen for the room. However, this does not mean at all that the material should be exactly the same. The same applies to the color scheme. Sometimes a contrasting solution, on the contrary, will even look more advantageous. Most often, wood, fiberboard or MDF, plastic is chosen for this piece of furniture.

Almost any wood is used, and a glossy shine is given to it by coating with varnish, paint or stain. The metal is either used to make a full-fledged structure, or only forged legs are made from it. Natural stone is used either for countertops or for a separate decor. Glass is used not only transparent, but also dark, and again, it is not chosen for the whole structure, but only for the table top. If we are talking about fashionable modern materials, then it is worth choosing eco-leather furniture, especially if the room is decorated in a minimalist or eco-style style.

The contrast solution looks very stylish, as mentioned above. For example, if the furniture in the bedroom is white, then it makes sense to purchase a black table. This option will allow you to additionally zone the space without using any additional tools. The opposite solution also works - in a room decorated in gray and even black shades, a snow-white table will look interesting.

An element of furniture will look original, corresponding in color to a bright bedspread on the bed or curtains. The glass transparent table looks universally; it is easy to add colors to it by using accessories. Of course, a table made in the same shade as the bed or bedside tables will always become universal.

Contemporary styles allow you to choose a dressing table that fits perfectly into any existing bedroom decor. Minimalism means a solid color and folding design, often white, with flat drawers without handles and possibly folding parts. Wood, glass, and even plastic will look good. The Provence style requires wood furniture, an unusual mirror frame and decorative fabric elements that echo the pouf. For the high-tech style, elongated and narrow consoles with metal legs are chosen. The retro-style interior will be perfectly complemented by a wooden structure, refined "antique".

When decorating a bedroom in the Baroque style, you will have to find a fairly large structure made of solid wood and decorated with carvings. A mirror should be selected with a heavy, solid frame. For a futuristic style, a hanging console of a catchy shade and bright lighting are suitable. For a room decorated in a Scandinavian style or a loft, simple tables made of natural timber with a minimum amount of decorative elements are suitable.

When choosing a set with a mirror for a bedroom, one should take into account the material used, the design of the furniture, and its functionality.For example, if the hostess has a lot of cosmetics and accessories, then it makes sense to purchase a model equipped with a sufficient number of shelves and other storage spaces. By giving preference to closed drawers, it will turn out to create a neater picture. For a small bedroom, consider integrating the dressing table directly into the closet.

The height of the seat should be selected so that the person who is going to use it on an ongoing basis is comfortable. Comfort is the main condition with regards to the selection of a mirror. Each woman must 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 are 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.

The design of the dressing table should match the rest of the items presented in the room. This concerns both the material and the color palette, and the general style. The size of the product should provide free access to it.

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 it near the window in order to have constant access to the source of natural light. For example, the optimal places are considered to be near the head of the bed or by the window... This is where the corner table will ideally fit. If this is not possible, then you will have to use an additional light source. In the event that there is a free niche in the room, the furniture should be placed in it.

If the room is small, but you still want a table, you can go for a trick. A small console is fixed to the cabinet door, and a folding chair can be easily hidden behind the door when not in 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 piece of furniture should be placed in the vacant space and supplemented with a hinged mirror. Finally, the transformation of the window sill will be an excellent solution.

Beautiful ideas for decorating a dressing table are most often found on foreign sites, since in our country this piece of furniture has relatively recently begun to win the hearts of women. The design of the dressing table looks gorgeous with a glossy panel and several unconnected rectangular mirrors. The design is complemented by 3 drawers with comfortable handles. A glass vase with flowers, candles and beautiful perfume bottles are used as decor. Scandinavian-style space design allows the use of a hanging console with two laconic drawers.

The round mirror is not connected to the structure, but is separately hung on the wall. Wooden table clamps echo the wooden legs of the stool covered with a pink seat. A desk lamp is used as a light source. A similar model of dressing table can be complemented with hooks under the console for additional storage options for bags. For a more glamorous bedroom style, choose a square mirror with bright lighting.

An additional shelf under the mirror solves the problem with the storage of varnish. The folding chair sits on a hook fixed to the adjacent wall. If there is no place for a beauty zone at all, then a dressing table can be built even from a small suitcase.An illuminated mirror is placed on the inside of the lid, and the container itself is used to store the necessary cosmetics.
