What should be the height of the dressing table - standard sizes

When it comes to dressing tables, most are ladies' boudoir furniture. But in fact, this is a universal item that every home needs on the Internet. Indeed, in addition to cosmetics, useful things for personal use are stored on it. The main thing is that the chosen model matches the style of the interior and the dimensions of the room.

We will tell you what the standard height of the dressing table is and how to choose furniture for your home.

What is a dressing table for?

The main purpose of the furniture is to store toiletries, both for men and women. Usually the table is placed next to the mirror, which is fixed to the glass. An alternative can be a one-piece dressing table with drawers for cosmetic and hygiene items. This is furniture for bedrooms, but some people prefer to place a table in the bathroom (if the size of the room allows).

Design features

There are a lot of varieties of tables, ranging from the most compact models to massive, antique ones, with drawers.

Types of dressing table designs and their advantages:

• folding - takes up a minimum of space, consists of a hinged shelf and a folding bar, when folded it looks like an ordinary miniature wardrobe, suitable for studios, one-room apartments and small rooms;
• console - narrow and elegant, can be made in a modern, classic or one of the strange styles, looks elegant and does not take up useful space;
• classic on 4 legs - a miniature table looks light and airy, suitable for a bedroom interior;
• with drawers - convenient for storing hygiene items, suitable for bedrooms and bathrooms.

Standard models are mounted on 4 narrow legs or two side supports. Often, poufs or benches made in the same style are sold complete with a table.

Table sizes

The dimensions of the dressing table are selected individually. The most important thing is that it is comfortable to sit behind it, and your legs do not rest on the top bar, sidewalls or wall. The minimum width of the tabletop is 26 cm, the length is 45 cm, and the maximum height of the blizzard is 80 cm.

When choosing the optimal length and height, it is worth considering the presence of built-in drawers and their location. If they are on the side, it means that the length of the product will be greater, if under the tabletop - the height. The parameters of the person or people who will sit at the table are also important. In some cases, the best solution would be to order custom-made furniture.

The mirror should be slightly smaller than the tabletop or coincide with it in length if the backlight is mounted on the edges.

Product size standards

A standard size dressing table will be considered furniture with dimensions: 80x60x75.This will be the most convenient model with a tabletop width of 60 cm, since under it the legs will fit comfortably.

Varieties of dressing table models

The variety of models is amazing. Even the simplest tables can have almost any design:

• laconic, with 4 or 2 supports;
• dressing table with drawers and a mirror;
• rounded in the spirit of modernity;
• with a folding mirror built into the table top;
• elegant tables in the spirit of minimalism with metal legs;
• futuristic, in the spirit of high-tech, with built-in lights, glass elements and minimal decor;
• classic make-up rooms, equipped with bright lighting and spacious compartments for cosmetics;
• hinged with a folding bar;
• in Provence or Baroque style, with carved decor and beautiful fittings.

Ideally, the style of the table should match the decor of the room, but you can pick up neutral models without bright decor. Such furniture will suit any interior.

How to choose the right one

In addition to the stylistic solution, attention should be paid to the following aspects:

1. dimensions - for a small room, a console, a hinged table with a folding tabletop, or miniature in length with drawers is suitable;
2. parameters - it should be comfortable to sit at the table and perform cosmetic / hygienic procedures;
3. the height of the mirror - ideally, a person should see his reflection not only while sitting, but also standing;
4. location - most models are designed to be installed close to the wall, but dressing tables with a built-in mirror can have an island arrangement;
5. shape - if a narrow passage remains between the table and the bed or other furniture, it is better to choose a model with rounded corners;
6. the amount of cosmetics, accessories and hygiene items that will be stored on the table is optimal so that everything you need fits in one place, therefore the more cosmetic accessories, the more built-in drawers should be.

But the main thing to be guided by is your own preferences.

Advice. An original solution: a table with a folding mirror top, under which there is an organizer with sections for various accessories.

Features of the location of the dressing table

This furniture is intended for boudoirs, but in some designs, the table may be in the hallway or bathroom.

For the hallway and hall, console models are suitable, which take up a minimum of usable space.

A spacious table with built-in drawers will come in handy in the bedroom. This will save space and contribute to order in the room: hygiene items and cosmetics will not be lying around.

Usually tables are placed near the bed: opposite the side or diagonally. Those who arrange furniture according to the canons of Feng Shui do not want the sleeping place to be reflected in the mirror. In this case, it will be optimal to place the table against the same wall as the bed, parallel to it.

Island tables are convenient for their mobility. Usually they are not small, with a square or rounded table top, which is no longer than 50 cm. Such a table can be placed closer to the window or at some distance from one of the walls.

Advice. It is important that the table is well lit. Therefore, it is logical to put furniture closer to the window or choose a model with built-in lighting. In this case, the location and amount of natural light does not matter.
