If you are considering decorating your bedroom, or you recently have decorated your bedroom, then you will probably be looking out for new furniture to go with it. You’ve probably considered all the obvious choices; a new bed, a wardrobe a chest of drawers, but have you taken the time to look out for a nice dressing table set? No?
Well I’m not overly surprised by that, dressing tables are often overlooked in this manner, with people considering them to be more a luxury than a necessity – some even think they are old fashioned. However when you step back and consider all that a good dressing table can offer you, you may have to rethink.
The modern dressing table has come a long way since the 17th Century when they were favoured by the French and were nothing more than a wash-basin hung between 2 pieces of wood. In the 21st century you can find dressing tables in all sorts of styles and finishes, including popular traditionally styled pine dressing tables (or Oak, or Ash) or the classic white dressing table (which can also be be made from Solid Wood before being painted to suit).
You can choose from double pedestal dressing tables, single pedestal or the more simplistic console table (which is often more like a desk). The double pedestal is a large, striking design and will take up more space in your room than the smaller single pedestal alternative. It will likely be more expensive, but if you have the space and the money then it should be considered a worthwhile investment (yes investment, a decent solidly built dressing table will be a great heirloom to pass onto your children when you are gone).
If you have less space available then the single pedestal dressing table is an ideal compromise, offering you enough space and with an equally impressive design as the double pedestal and will easily accomodate all your day to day needs when it comes to applying your makeup and preparing yourself for the day ahead.
Overall once you have owned a dressing table you will wonder how you ever managed without one.
