Dressing tables originated in 18th century in France. They are referred to as "toilette" or "toilet tables" as most women use to wrap their cosmetic in a small, square linen coth (the toilette) before they put them in a chest. It is handy addition and offers extra storage. There are many different types of dressing table to choose like large, draped, kidney shaped tables which are luxurious and look good in a larger room. Some antique Victorian and French tables are suitable also for large bedrooms. They have elaborate mirrors and beautiful carvings.
For small rooms, art-deco style dressing-tables are used. Plain wooden vanities and white painted styles can work wonders in a small room. Women prefer to put make up on in the sanctuary of the bedroom that is the mirror. Some have full length mirrors, nearby or attached to the dressing table. Antique-style mirrors are very decorative and some dressing tables have flip-flop lids with mirrors which are very practical.
A dressing table add a touch of romance and glamour to any woman's bedroom. As quoted by Akiko Busch, it is a place to indulge one's fancies and compose one's soul. It is essential furniture that gives self adornment and stylish look to the bedroom. If a dressing table is not well designed and not properly decorated and used, things will be cluttered in the room and may not be helpful to give the bedroom an "at home" atmosphere. How can you make them stylish and create a comfy ambiance? Decorate?
Some useful tips to decorate your dressing table:
- Cover the top with muslin or lace and ladies put heir silver comb and brushes on them.
- Antique, wooden, oriental or modern jewellery boxes look very attractive on top of dressing tables.
- You may put some attractive vintage dolls or figurines to make it look lovely.
- A kerosene lamp or candle holder will add up a Victorian touch finish.
- Place family photos, valentines, vintage postcards n top of the table and cover with a glass to create a collage.
- Mix antique accessories to different decades to keep the look fresh.
- Collections of antiques can be groups for a personal touch.
- Always is a person of new ideas and ventures so you can make creative applications on antique objects.
- Choose the dressing table carefully that will match the style of the bedroom and may serve as a great centrepiece for your room. Here are some points to consider for selecting your ideal dressing table:
* Remember that the table is meant to be fun, luxury piece to pamper you so it must be the most feasible in the bedroom. Its location is determined where you spend most time getting ready to go out.
* This piece can be an exciting new accessory and temptation to buy new ones so consider a place for future purchases. Check the styles that contain drawers or small cabinets.
* Think about space constraints especially personal comfort. If you'd be more relaxed in a nice upholstered chair, indulge with that. You can go with the basics with mirror and table as long as the set will be used fairly as your special area for dressing and making yourself feel good.
* From antique to retro, from light bulbs to lamps, from glass to mahogany, for sure you will have a good pick for the style and shape you have in mind. Visit some local retail warehouses and online shops so you can make comparisons and come up with the dressing table you prefer.
