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 an interior item consisting 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.
An important component of the design of the space of the dressing table is the organization of lighting, which, in principle, is logical, because in the dark it will not work at all.
It is convenient if a small low-hanging chandelier located directly above the beauty zone is selected as a luminaire. No less convenient are a pair of sconces on either side of the mirror. For frequent use, it is better to initially choose a backlit mirror. When positioning 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 best to place a dressing table next to the window and thereby guarantee the presence of daylight.
Varieties
Such a component of furniture, like a dressing table, can be sold in various variations. For instance, some models are solid with a mirror design, while others imply a separate wall mount mirror. The second option is more convenient in that 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 acquired small, desktop. This option is cheaper, but for someone more convenient.
An angular dressing table allows you to fill in unused space, and also helps in a situation of small footage of the room. The angular model is made suspended, floor or console. There are no legs at the hanging table, and it is fixed on the wall. The floor table has four supports and is, in general, a normal design. A console dressing table is considered to be something in between between the previous two. It simultaneously has supports and wall mounts.
Materials and sizes
Of course, it is important that the dressing table look good with other furniture selected for the room. However, this does not mean that the material should be exactly 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 interior item is selected wood, fiberboard or MDF, plastic.
These materials are universal, but glass or stone will not fit into every interior.
Almost any tree is used, and glossy gloss is given to it by coating with varnish, paint or stain. Metal is either used to make a full-fledged construction, or only forged legs are made of 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 chosen not for the whole structure, but only for the countertop. If we are talking about fashionable modern materials, then it is worth choosing eco-leather furniture, especially if the room is decorated in the style of minimalism or eco-style.
Colors
The contrasting solution looks very stylish, as mentioned above. For example, if the furniture in the bedroom is white, then it makes sense to purchase a table in black. Such an option will allow additional zoning of the space, without involving 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 element of furniture will look original, the color corresponding to the bright bedspread on the bed or curtains. The glass transparent little table looks universal, the colors of which are easy to add using accessories. Of course, a table made in the same shade as a bed or bedside tables will always be universal.
Style solutions
Modern styles allow you to choose a dressing table that fits perfectly into any existing bedroom interior. Minimalism implies a plain and folding design, often white, with flat drawers without handles and possibly folding parts. Wood, glass, and even plastic will look good. Provence style requires wooden furniture, an unusual mirror frame and decorative fabric elements that resonate with an ottoman. For high-tech style, elongated and narrow consoles with metal legs are selected. The interior in retro style is perfectly complemented by a wooden structure, ennobled "antique".
Making a bedroom in the Baroque style, you will have to find a fairly large structure made of solid wood and decorated with carvings. The mirror is worth picking up with a heavy solid frame. For the futurism style, a hanging console of a catchy shade and bright illumination are suitable. For a room decorated in a Scandinavian style or a loft, simple tables made of natural timber with a minimum number of decorative elements are suitable.
Selection recommendations
When choosing a suite with a mirror for the bedroom, you should consider the material used, the design of the furniture, and its functionality.For example, if the hostess has a large number of cosmetics and accessories, it makes sense to purchase a model equipped with a sufficient number of shelves and other places for storage. Preferring closed drawers, you can create a more accurate picture. For a small bedroom, consider adding a dressing table directly to your closet.
It is more convenient to take the furniture in question immediately complete with a seat: pouf, armchair or chair.
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 and with regards to the selection of the mirror. Each woman must decide for herself whether it will be convenient for her to observe herself waist-high, whether a small table mirror will be enough, or even several copies will be required because of the breadth 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 applies to the material, and the color palette, and the overall style. 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 it near the window in order to have constant access to the source of natural light. For example, optimal are places near the head of the bed or at the window. This is where the corner table will fit perfectly. If this is not possible, then you will have to use an additional light source. In the event that the room has a free niche, furniture should be placed in it.
The advantage of any chosen place is the presence near the outlet.
If the room is small, but you still want a table, you can go for a trick. A small console is fixed on the cabinet door, and a folding chair hides behind the door for a period of non-use. In addition, as mentioned above, it is worth considering how to hide the furniture inside the cabinet. For lack of space, one of the nightstands should be abandoned, and the necessary interior item should be put in the vacated space and supplemented with a hinged mirror. Finally, a great solution would be the transformation of the windowsill.
Interesting examples
Beautiful ideas for decorating a dressing table are most often found on foreign sites, since in our country this piece of furniture has recently begun to win the hearts of women. The dressing table design with a glossy panel and several unconnected rectangular mirrors looks gorgeous. The design is complemented by 3 drawers with comfortable handles. As a decor, a glass vase with flowers, candles and beautiful perfume bottles are used. The design of the space in the Scandinavian style allows the use of a hanging console with two laconic drawers.
A round mirror is not connected to the structure, but is separately suspended on the wall. Wooden table fixers have something in common with the wooden legs of a stool covered with a pink seat. A table lamp is used as a light source. A similar model of the dressing table can be supplemented with hooks under the console, which will create additional opportunities for storing bags. A more glamorous style of the bedroom will allow you to choose a square mirror with bright lighting.
An additional shelf under the mirror solves the problem of storing varnish. A folding chair is located on a hook fixed to an adjacent wall. If the place for the beauty zone is completely absent, then the dressing table can be built even from a small suitcase.A backlit mirror is located on the inside of the lid, and the container itself serves to store the necessary cosmetics.
