Dressing Tables

Q: How tall is a standard dressing table?

Dressing tables range in size to suit every room. A standard dressing table in Australia is roughly 73-81 cm tall, but there are no strict rules as to how small or large a dressing table can be. Ideally, you should be able to sit comfortably, reach the items on the top with ease, and see yourself in the mirror.

Q: Where is the best place for a dressing table?

Where you place a dressing table is entirely up to the unique space of your bedroom. However, professionals generally recommend placing a dressing table near a window as it permits adequate light for makeup application. Placing a dressing table in a corner is another option that can maximise floor space.

Dressing tables are a game changer, serving a multipurpose function as a storage unit, a surface for displaying decor, and as a vanity to sit at and apply makeup or skincare.

How to choose a dressing table that’s right for you

Before buying a dressing table, you should account for how much storage you need. A larger dressing table is ideal if you have an abundance of items that need a home, but comes at the cost of occupying more floor space. Confined bedrooms will benefit from a small dressing table, such as wall mounted dressing tables. Vintage aesthetics look incredible in vintage-style homes where you can also add vintage room divider screens, whereas modern dressing tables match a more contemporary aesthetic.

If you need extra room and organizers, you can use a wardrobe or closet.

What should I place on my dressing table?

The amazing thing about dressing tables is that they’re entirely personalised. If you use them as a station to get ready in the morning, then items you’ll reach every day like hairbrushes, sunscreen or moisturiser make perfect sense. Otherwise, keeping the surface of a dressing table clear for a clean look is a perfectly reasonable alternative.
