How to buy a dressing table

Read our top tips on how to buy the right dressing table

What dressing table design to choose?

* Think about what style will work in your bedroom. Classic dressing tables tend to be a pedestal shape, with either a single drawer or double on either side and space in between to sit. They provide plenty of storage but can be bulky pieces of furniture and are best suited to larger bedrooms. Classic styles vary from polished wood to painted antique.

* Contemporary dressing tables are more simple in style with plain lines and minimal detailing. They are generally smaller than pedestal dressing tables and are therefore an excellent space-saving solution. Console-style dressing tables usually have wide, shallow drawers, ideal for cosmetics but offer less storage space than pedestal dressing tables.
