A DRESSING TABLE IS A DREAM FOR YOUR BEDROOMS INTERIOR DESIGN

With many of us admittedly spending more time getting ready each day, the need for a space to sit calmly at each morning while we prepare ourselves for the day ahead has never been greater. Cue the humble dressing table. Here at Home & Contract Design, we’ve noticed a rise in the number of clients wishing to carve out an area for themselves in their bedrooms interior design. So if you’re wondering whether a dressing table would make the perfect addition to your bedroom, these reasons might just convince you.

The perfect morning routine

Mornings for many of us can be a bit chaotic, so it’s good to be able to carve out a few minutes of calm, just for ourselves. Having somewhere to sit, while we put on our make-up and gather our thoughts is perfect. This quiet time as you prepare for the day ahead can definitely set you up for success.

A place to call your own

If you share a room with your partner, the dressing room table is distinctly yours and therefore for you to design as you wish. Whether you prefer to keep it general neutral or add a feminine edge, just make sure you put your own personality on it.

Contain your belongings

You probably own quite a few beauty essentials. Make-up, products and brushes all need somewhere to live and that is exactly what a dressing table was designed for. Plus, with everything organised in one place, you won’t spend the morning wondering where you left something.

Style it up

Dressing tables can be ultra chic. While their purpose is distinctly practical, there’s no denying that they can look beautiful too. Display your prettiest perfume bottles, use trays to store items and use pots as holders for brushes. Add some flowers, candles or anything else that makes you happy to the space.

Get the most out of your dressing table

As mentioned, a dressing table is the perfect balance between practicality and style. Obviously you’ll want it to look fabulous, but it should be functional too.

Here are our top tips for getting the most from using a dressing table in your interior design:

• Choose your location wisely! You’ll want to place it in an area that’s well lit naturally so that it’s great for applying your make-up.
  
• Opt for a table with plenty of storage. Find one with deep drawers so that you can add trays to contain your worldly goods.
  
• Ensure there is a socket nearby for your hairdryer, straighteners etc
  
• Choose a pretty seat! Whether you go for a stool or chair, make sure the height is correct to allow you to see into the mirror without having to crouch down or stand up.
  
• Keep it tidy. While its purpose is to hold items, having them messily laid out will distract from the rest of your room.
