I decided to do some research on Pinterest to find examples of dressing tables that demonstrated how highly personal this item of furniture is. I also wanted to see how they have changed over the years and how they look today. I used three categories; vintage dressing tables, shabby chic dressing tables and modern dressing tables and this is what I found.
In the vintage category, I chose this mirrored dressing table, not only because it looks so unusual but also because of all the photos displayed on it. Photos of our loved ones comfort us, make us feel loved and remind us of the good times in our lives. Having them close to hand as we get ready to face the day, or when we glamour ourselves up for a night out, can do wonders for our confidence.
In the shabby chic category, this blue one stood out as an example of the potential of the dressing table for reflecting its owner's personality. It provides a space that we can call our own, where we can be bold and adventurous and indulge our own tastes, especially if we share the rest of our living space with other people. This table is accessorised with a vintage telephone and retro pictures, dainty white metal stands and floral wall hangings which give us visual clues about the personality of the owner.
In the modern category, this example demonstrates the direction that dressing tables could be heading in. The style is clean and non-fussy and the clever under cover storage with an integrated mirror turns this dressing table into a multipurpose piece of furniture. With the cover closed the dressing table turns into a work space, making it ideal for people living in flats or shared housing where space is limited. Despite it's multipurpose style, this one still has dressing table accessories, the face mask, cologne bottle and vase of flowers.
