Simple Dressing Table Designs For Bedroom

A dressing table is an essential piece of bedroom furniture and an added fashion accessory that’s found in modern Indian homes today. It is more like a hotspot for the family where each member spends considerable time making themselves visually presentable before going out.

Contrary to popular belief, a dressing table goes way beyond just a mirror on the wall and now also incorporates drawers, shelves and a special seating space so that you can have a satisfying experience while you’re on the job. Since it is a place where you can often experiment with your fashion/style and also give yourself a confidence-boosting pep talk, it needs to look beautiful and decluttered as well.

A dressing table can be customised according to the user’s needs and preferences as you can choose from a wide variety of dressing tables based on the shape, size, storage space required, structure material and budget. A dressing table can also be used to maximise any unused niches in your bedroom as they’re pretty great space savers.

To spare you the hassle, we’ve compiled a few important factors that you need to keep in mind while purchasing the right dressing table for your bedroom. Trust us, it will save you a lot of time, money and energy later on. Here they are:

• The measurements of the bedroom and the dressing table: Make sure that you keep the layout/measurements of your bedroom along with the width and height of the dressing table in mind so that you can shortlist your choices wisely during the purchase process. It is one of the most important factors since a small dressing table might not match the overall look of your room and a big one will hinder easy movement. It needs to be just ‘right’
• The mirror: What’s a dressing table without a mirror? It is the second most important thing to consider as it helps you view yourself on the spot without having to go to the bathroom specifically, thereby saving time. Mirrors for the dressing table also come in a wide variety of styles, sizes and material so you’ll be spoilt for choice.  Ideally, a dressing table with a large mirror is suitable for those who want to see their full reflection whereas a dressing table with a medium-size mirror is perfect for those who are makeup fanatics 
• The amount of storage space needed: Women need to incorporate way more items in a dressing table as compared to men since they have cosmetics, jewellery, perfumes and other related accessories as well. Hence, the dressing table must be designed with the maximum storage capacity in terms of drawers, cabinets or shelves. Isn’t it better having extra space in your drawers than having to clutter the dressing table?
• The security mechanism (locks and fixtures): Since one often stores valuable items like expensive jewellery and statement accessories in the dressing table, investing in a good locking fixture or mechanism won’t do you any harm. Also, double-check the lock to ensure that it works properly before you finally purchase the dressing table. It’s better to be safe than sorry! 
• The material: Wood is the most trusted material for designing dressing tables as it is highly durable, has an excellent finish and looks timeless no matter what kind of bedroom you live in. You can opt for either mango wood or Sheesham wood for this purpose. Are you looking for some great simple wooden dressing table designs for the bedroom? Then, you’re at the right place 
• The lighting built in and above the dressing table: Make sure that the lighting around the dressing table is adequate so that you can dress up and clearly see yourself in the mirror or even easily see how your make-up is looking once you’re done. Placing your dressing table at a safe distance from the window also lets you take advantage of the natural light while you can also choose the perfect artificial lights from a wide number of styles — accent lighting or task lighting options are ones you can go for
• The seating area in front of the dressing table: Some dressing tables come without an attached seating option while others do include them. Choose a chair that has some colour and texture so that it matches the overall design aesthetics of your room and also brings in a warm and cosy vibe into the bedroom space
• Some more questions that you need to reflect upon: 
  1. Should the dressing table serve as a multifunctional piece of furniture in your bedroom such as a work desk? 
  2. What are the other decor items that you can experiment with to beautify your dressing table? 
  3. Do you need to design a dressing table or go in for an exclusive dressing room based on your storage needs? In case you go in for the latter, then check out the latest dressing room design ideas
