Every woman needs a place where she cando your makeup or do your hair. It is more convenient to do this at the dressing table. What it should be like, where it is best to put it and what subtleties you need to know to make it cozy, we will tell you. A dressing table is a woman's personal space. This is a place where she can easily tidy herself up, emphasize her natural beauty and relax. And the design and shape of such a piece of furniture can significantly improve the appearance of the room. Before you go to the store In order for it to become a decoration of your interior, you should first think about the stylistic solution. It can be mysterious, romantic, or modern, minimalistic. The main thing is that it should fit into the room harmoniously, not flashy. It is also important to think about convenience. How to arrange a dressing table? First, take measurements of the place where you plan to put it. Provide free space for a chair so that you can freely sit at the table. If there are pull-out cabinets, think about whether it will be convenient to use them. Our opinion: - The dressing table is a very personal area. It is desirable that this is not a passable place. Otherwise, someone may accidentally touch you or your cosmetics, other ladies' things. No one should bother you.
Where to place Usually a dressing tablePlaced in the bedroom, sometimes in a spacious hallway, in a dressing room or in a bathroom. But to apply perfect makeup, it is important to provide the place with the right daylight. Therefore, place the dressing table closer to the window. If you are looking for space-saving options, buy a corner model. If you do not have extra square meters, the dressing table can even be placed in a niche or pantry. Our opinion: - It is undesirable to place the dressing table opposite the window if it is behind it. This is considered the worst option. With this arrangement, the mirror will glare, shine sharply into the eyes. And the face will constantly be in the shadow. Galina Yuryeva, interior designer: - In my opinion, a large mirror, good lighting and drawers in which you can conveniently distribute everything you need for applying makeup are absolutely necessary. Ideally, the lighting should be natural. If there is no space to place the table, you can organize a makeup area on the windowsill, placing the mirror in the window opening. This creates a lighting effect similar to a mirror with built-in lighting, but the light will be natural.
Spotlights Proper lighting of the areaThe vanity table is the key to the success of your beauty. Thus, you will avoid minor incidents when applying daytime makeup if you provide access to sunlight. If you have to put on beauty in the evening, try to equip the vanity table with additional light sources. Remember the dressing rooms of celebrities, they have quite a lot of artificial lighting. If you want to feel like a celebrity, hang lamps, sconces or lamps on both sides. Among other things, such lighting helps to increase the illumination due to reflection and does not hit the eyes. Arrange the light sources in such a way that they themselves are not reflected in the mirror. Our opinion: - It is not recommended to use lamps with lampshades made of colored glass. Such glass can distort the natural complexion. It is better to buy a sconce made of white or frosted glass. It is important that the light does not make you squint, is not too bright. Moderate, soft lighting is good for comfort. Mila Kolpakova, interior designer: - In addition to natural light (from the window), the table should have additional lighting. The main idea is that the face should be illuminated as evenly as possible and from both sides. Professionals recommend using LED lighting. It is LEDs that are used in the products of the popular among professional makeup artists manufacturer Glamcor light.
Mirrors and other ladies' things ToiletThe table requires all sorts of shelves, drawers, jars, and mirrors. It is worth remembering about a sense of proportion. This place should evoke a feeling of lightness, beauty, and comfort. Only the most necessary items should be on the work surface. Hide everything else. If there are not enough cabinets, use different devices for small items, and a hair dryer can be attached to a special structure on the side of the table. You definitely can’t do without a mirror. It can be a small mirror on a leg or a large one that covers the entire wall. It all depends on your capabilities and preferences. Mila Kolpakova, interior designer: - Traditional solutions that have stood the test of time are a triple mirror (trellis) or a dressing mirror (with perimeter lighting). If you choose another option, pay attention to the size of the mirror. It should be large enough and at the same time match the style and proportions of the table. Additionally, you need to provide for another mirror - a magnifying one with lighting.
Make yourself comfortable An essential attributeThe vanity table is a place to sit. Comfort is paramount. Choose compact poufs, chairs, armchairs, benches so that they slide under the table. This option will save space if the area of the room is small. Pay attention to the frame chair or transparent chairs. They are almost invisible and create a light atmosphere. If you spend a lot of time at the vanity table, then armchairs or chairs with a back will suit you better. They will provide more comfortable conditions.
