For a stress-free getting ready routine

On our endless quest to ensure that our spaces are as organised as possible, there are a few key areas that need extra attention. One of those spaces is our make-up stash – with so many bottles, palettes and jars to keep handy, keeping this zone orderly can pose a challenge. But there are ways to make life easier for yourself: investing in a dedicated dressing table can help.

With a dressing table, you can say 'goodbye' to rifling fruitlessly through your make-up bag for your eyeliner and scrambling through drawers to find your deodorant. Instead, everything you need – from bobbles to hairspray – will have its own rightful place on a vanity table. Moreover, a dressing table gives you the chance to live out your Hollywood fantasy of creating a dedicated space for you to get ready in the morning (very Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn vibes). And with over 250,000 Instagram #dressingtable posts, owning a dressing table is now as much of an interiors trend to jump on as it is a morning routine essential.

The most important consideration is to ensure that your new dressing table will fit perfectly in your bedroom. Our top tip? Avoid investing in a large dressing table if your bedroom is on the smaller side; a dressing area is meant to be a place of luxury and glamour. On the flip side, a spacious bedroom might need a chunky, wide dressing table to ensure the space doesn't feel cavernous and empty. Make sure to measure the area you want your new dressing table to go in carefully – we've outlined dimensions on all our picks below.

Aside from the practical considerations when it comes to buying a dressing table, think about how you're going to use the furniture. Do you want make-up products to be tidied away in drawers or do you prefer to have them laid out in front of you? Do you need a dressing table with a built-in mirror, or do you prefer using a compact?

Whether you need a bijou corner unit for your tiny one-bed flat or a large vanity table that can double up as a desk, while we're all working from home, we've rounded up our favourite dressing tables for 2022 below.

We're calling it: Grecian-inspired interiors are going to be everywhere in 2023, so get ahead of the trend before everyone else does. This chunky desk-cum-dressing table, with its wide pillar style legs, will add an air of gravitas to your room, whether you're using it to put your face on before heading into the office or as your desk space on WFH days. The oh-so-subtle pink hue adds a dash of femininity, too.

Dimensions: D40 x 130 x 76.5cm

This is made from rattan, but it feels a little more elegant than the typical bohemian pieces we tend to see. Choose from black or oak colouring.

Dimensions: H133.5 x W105 x D46cm

This one is bijou but still has space for your collection with a tabletop and additional roomy drawer for less aesthetic purchases. The drawer front is a subtle terrazzo effect, which ups the fun factor. It's also a steal at just under £80 in the sale.

Dimensions: H79 x W57 x D40cm

It's gold! You can't get more glam than that. For a Kardashian-worthy experience while sitting down to do your face every day, this is a worthy investment.

Dimensions: H110 x W100 x D41cm

This is a pricier dressing table, but it does come with a stool. The combination of mango wood, circular parquetry, slim brass legs and that mink grey stool top is the definition of chicness.

Dimensions: W110 x D40 x H74cm

If you have a large bedroom, this is a good option. Bigger furniture pieces will help you avoid having a cavernous feeling in your space – as well as giving you plenty of room to show off your perfume collection and all your pretty bottles.

Dimensions: H130 x W130 x D48cm

This one is pretty Scandi and minimalistic but the gold legs give it a glamorous twist. We also love the round mirror.

Dimensions: W70 x D40 x H137.5cm

Statement stripes give this dressing table a beautiful retro feel. The mirror is on the larger side, which is a bonus, and the thin brassy legs keep things classy and spacious.

Dimensions: H122 x W90 x D40cm

Here's a similar mother of pearl option from G&G, which is a little more understated, but no less elegant. It comes with a matching stool, too.

Dimensions: H79 x W100 x D46cm

Marble is effortless and elegant, so we love this option from Swoon. While this dressing table doesn't boast drawers, it does have a small marble shelf, where you can show off your prettiest make-up and perfume bottles, as well as a round mirror.

Dimensions: W100 x D48 x H125cm

Monochrome is always a winner in our book and this striking design, with its smooth curves, is no exception.

Dimensions: W85 x D40 x H120cm

If you're brave enough, a mirrored dressing table can bring light and texture to a bedroom. It will require plenty of cleaning to avoid sticky fingerprints building up, however.

Dimensions: H78 x W108 x D40 cm

If you like industrial style furniture and interiors, this is a good option, and it's very reasonably priced at just over £150.00.

Dimensions: H150 x W84 x D40cm

Create a romantic feel in your room with this vintage-looking dressing table. If you have a big jewellery and cosmetics collection, this is a good choice as it's got seven drawers in total. Gone will be the days of rifling through your make-up bag to find your mascara, trust us. The three-panel mirror is a lovely touch, too.

Dimensions: H148cm x W90cm x D40cm

This simple Mad Men-esque vanity table is given a jazzy update with one pink drawer and one rattan. We're into it.

Dimensions: H82x W100 x D40cm

This one would look lovely in pared back bedrooms with crisp white bedding and minimal artwork on the walls.

Dimensions: H80 x W110 x D40cm

If you're looking for an investment piece you can cherish for years, you don't get much more classic than this silvery-toned oak number.

Dimensions: H80 x W120 x D38cm

Yes, this is a serious investment piece. And, yes, you will need to spend a lot of time cleaning the mirrors to keep it looking fresh. So, no, this isn't an especially practical piece of furniture, we have to admit. But that doesn't mean that it isn't beautiful; or that we aren't dreaming of sitting down here to do our makeup every morning.

Dimensions: H79 x W152 x D66cm

This is a really slim option, so if you're working with an awkwardly narrow bedroom, this will make life easier for you. Alternatively, it'll make a lovely minimal console table for your hallway – use the mirror for a quick hair and teeth check before you dash off for the day.

Dimensions: W114 x W38 x H139cm

With a small footprint and understated – but oh so chic – monochrome design, this inexpensive little dressing table will add some class and functionality to bijou bedrooms.

Dimensions: H80 x W80 x D40cm

It's rattan, but that deep blue shade elevates the look into something truly sophisticated. Very classy.

Dimensions: H75 x W100 x D45cm

Solid oak furniture: classic, elegant, understated and won't date. We love this refined set from Oak Furniture Land; it'd make a good WFH desk, too.

Dimensions: W120 x H79 x D48cm
