19 Dressing Tables To Make Your Bedroom Feel A Little More Luxe

On our endless quest to ensure that our spaces are as organised as possible, there are a few key areas that need extra attention. One of those spaces is our make-up stash – with so many bottles, palettes and jars to keep handy, keeping this zone orderly can pose a challenge. But there are ways to make life easier for yourself: investing in a dedicated dressing table can help.

With a dressing table, you can say goodbye to rifling fruitlessly through your make-up bag for your lipstick and scrambling through drawers to find your deodorant. Instead, everything you need – from bobbles to hairspray – will have its own rightful place on a vanity table.

Moreover, a dressing table gives you the chance to live out your Hollywood fantasy of creating a dedicated space for you to get ready in the morning (very Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn vibes). And with over 350,000 Instagram #dressingtable posts, owning a dressing table is now as much of an interiors trend to jump on as it is a morning routine essential.

How to choose the best dressing table

The most important consideration is to ensure that your new dressing table will fit in its intended spot in your bedroom. Avoid investing in a large dressing table if your bedroom is on the smaller side; a dressing area is meant to be a place of luxury and glamour. On the flip side, a spacious bedroom might need a chunky, wide dressing table to ensure the space doesn’t feel cavernous and empty. Make sure to measure the area you want your new dressing table to go in carefully – we’ve outlined dimensions on all our picks below.

Aside from the practical considerations, think about how you’re going to use the furniture. Do you want make-up products to be tidied away in drawers or do you prefer to have them laid out in front of you? Do you need a dressing table with a built-in mirror, or do you prefer using a compact?

Whether you need a bijou corner unit for your tiny one-bed flat or a large vanity table that can double up as a desk, we’ve rounded up our favourite dressing tables for 2023 below.
