But, in addition to functionality, such a product also has a decorative purpose. After all, if you choose the right style of the table, then it can harmoniously fit into the overall interior and create a competent, in terms of ergonomics and appearance, space for comfortable living.

How to choose the right design of the table in the bedroom, how to correctly organize the lighting - we will consider in detail in the article.

Varieties

Fortunately, modern design solutions allow you to choose a makeup table with a mirror and lighting in the bedroom of any shape, style, color scheme. The design can be quite bulky and accommodate an abundance of various drawers.

For those who prefer a minimalistic direction, you can pick up a product that looks more like a small writing or coffee table. But, regardless of this, the required design elements are:

• The table itself and at least a few drawers located in it for convenient storage of toiletries.
• The mirror is large enough to look comfortably in.

Additional organized lighting that is directed correctly from the point of view of the mirror and the observer.

If you take into account all these 3 main factors, then it will be easier to choose a makeup table in the bedroom. But it should be borne in mind that from the point of view of design, such tables can be:

• Standard or classic. Here, all dimensions fit into the established norms. The parameters of the mirror most often fit into the range of 50x50 cm. Due to the large number of shelves and drawers, everything you need can be placed here. Due to the versatility of the appearance, it can be fit into most interiors, with the exception of specific ones, for example, such as high-tech or classic English. In order for it not to lose its relevance over time, it is recommended to choose a neutral color base for it. Natural colors of natural wood, milk or cream colors are suitable.
• Flip-down mirror designs save space. This version of the makeup table is suitable for small bedrooms, where there is already not enough space. But, for such a product, you need to carefully consider how convenient and safe it will be to use lighting. Therefore, they choose not standard bulbs, but LED backlighting. You need to understand that the lighting level in this case will be much higher than with standard lamp lighting.
• Trellis - this design has been known for a long time. Its essence boils down to the fact that the table is equipped with a mirror with two folds that unfold. It is best to place such a product in the middle of the wall or, conversely, in the corner of the room. Despite the fact that the word "trellis" itself is associated with the majority of Soviet products that have nothing to do with elegance, in fact it is not. Today you can buy designs that fit both classic interiors and ultra-fashionable environments.
• A variant of a makeup table in the form of a dressing table. A distinctive feature in this case is a mirror with a height of about 1 m. At the same time, in order to ensure the safety of using such an element of the interior, it is necessary to mount the mirror on the wall. And this imposes certain restrictions in terms of further movement. The structure will be fixed motionless and it will no longer be possible to displace it. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully consider the location in advance.

Accommodation options

To make it convenient to apply makeup, and the table itself has become an element of the interior that will be in harmony with all other products, the following location recommendations must be taken into account:

• Choose a place that will not be obstructed on both sides by other furniture elements. It is necessary that there should be at least 0.5 m of free wall on both sides. This is the only way to create a feeling of comfort in the one who will be at such a table.
• It is advisable that the daytime natural light falls from the left side at the moment when the girl is applying makeup. Naturally, this rule applies to right-handers, while for left-handers, on the contrary, the right incidence of light should be chosen. If it is not possible to place the structure in this way, then you will have to use the backlight in the daytime.
• From the point of view of harmony with other elements of the interior, it is advisable to place the table either in the center of the wall, or to bring it into the corner.
• Consider that the presence of a mirror makes such an element of furniture a kind of point of attraction for eyes. Therefore, it is worth focusing on the table.
• It is very important to correctly select the overall dimensions of the mirror, both in width and height. It is important that you can see yourself completely and do not have to bend down while applying makeup.

Taking into account these features of the location will allow you to conveniently use the table and at the same time create a harmonious space in the bedroom.

How to choose the perfect dressing table

So that the design does not irritate over time and does not show any disadvantages during operation, the following subtleties must be taken into account when choosing:

• Select a table structure in which you can arrange everything you need. This is an important point - after all, drawers and shelves should allow you to arrange all the jars, bubbles and other feminine accessories. Otherwise, they will have to be hidden somewhere else.
• The mirror should be comfortable, otherwise you will have to strain the muscles of the neck, shoulders and arms all the time. After all, you will need to reach for the mirror to examine yourself. Therefore, when choosing a design, take into account that the depth, or rather the width of the table itself, should not be too large. After all, if you want to take a closer look at yourself, you will have to stretch forward all the time.
• But, at the same time, the tabletop should not be too narrow. Since this is the reverse side of the coin, you will have to lean back all the time, which also causes discomfort. Therefore, the optimal size will be the width of the countertop within the range of 0.5-0.7 m.
• Be sure to choose a shade of construction that will be in harmony with all other elements of the interior. It is best if the makeup table, bed and other cabinets in the room are made in the same style and represent a whole set. But, if this did not work out, then you should then simply combine the colors, textures and textures of the products.

Features of table models

Only if all the design, functional and stylistic features of the makeup table are taken into account can you get a product in the bedroom that will fulfill its main functional duties. And at the same time it will create a whole harmonious image.

Among the main features:

• Product dimensions.
• Mirror dimensions.
• The presence of reclining sections of the mirror.
• Organization of lighting.
• The ability to move the table if necessary.

Choice of sizes

When choosing sizes, take into account:

• The width and height of the mirror so that the owner of the table is comfortable looking at herself.
• The width of the countertop so you don't have to lean forward or lean back.
• The length of the table itself, so that you can freely place it, avoiding the proximity of other furniture elements.
• In this case, you also need to take into account a convenient seat and the area that will be needed for it.
• It is always necessary to be aware that the overall dimensions of the furniture must correspond to the parameters of the human body. This is the only way to use the product with all the convenience.

Lighting features

Lighting should be bright and directed from all directions at the same time. This is important so that you don't have to turn your head and expose your face to the light.

It is for this reason that they most often organize:

• Frame strip lighting, which can be U-shaped or frame the mirror from all sides, including the bottom edge. In this case, you can achieve the desired effect using LED strip lighting.
• Arrangement of 2 attractively designed light bulbs on both sides of the mirror at a height above the seated person's head.

You always need to think about how to connect the light to electricity. There must be an outlet in the immediate vicinity - otherwise you will have to pull the wires a considerable distance. And this is always inconvenient and not aesthetically pleasing, since you will have to think over how to remove the wires in the box so that they do not stretch along the wall or floor.

Selection of a chair for a table

To sit comfortably at the makeup table, you need to think about a comfortable seating position. To do this, choose:

• Small rectangular upholstered bench. But, its length should completely allow forcing it under the table.
• A small round bench, which is organized like a musical chair. In this case, they have a rotating round top. This is convenient when you need to turn around and take something from the bed or from nearby pieces of furniture.
• Less often, the table is complemented by an upholstered armchair.But it must be remembered that the planting depth must correspond to the level of the table top height.

How to make your own makeup table

If it is not possible to purchase a ready-made makeup table or all the products on sale do not meet the needs, then you can make the design yourself. To do this, you need to purchase:

• Suitable building materials.
• Tools that will be needed in order to saw and assemble the elements of the product together.
• Paints and varnishes, with the help of which the structure will be brought to an attractive appearance.
• Mirror, lights, wires and sockets to make the structure work.

Moreover, the preparation of all these elements is only a preparatory stage. It is important to take into account that in order to get an ideal design, which will be convenient to use in the future, you need to find drawings of such a table that fits the interior, style and free space.

It is important to take into account all ergonomic and anthropometric features. That is, the dimensions of the table should correspond to the dimensions of the human body - it should be comfortable to sit behind it, it should be easy to get up, a chair should be easy to clean under the table. And all this can be achieved only if you first develop your own drawings, taking into account the norms and standards, or, which is much easier, select suitable drawings on the Internet.

In order to exclude trauma, in a home-made design, it is better to fix the mirror directly to the wall, and organize electricity in the form of 2 separate sconces with shades of suitable size.

Considering all the above recommendations, as well as the parameters, it is easy to purchase a makeup table that will delight its owner.
