There are a lot of cosmetics, all sorts of small trinkets, necessarily a large mirror - this is the "female kingdom" in the full sense of the word. A large or small dressing table in the interior of various rooms looks different, but in modern furniture stores it is selected for any interior style.

What to consider when choosing

Before buying consider the following points:

• location - where, in which room he will stand;

Table top shape classification:

When a room combines the characteristics of two or three styles at the same time, the “women's corner” should coincide in the style with the prevailing direction.

Color and material

The colors of this piece of furniture should correspond to the design of the rest of the furniture in the room, most often light colors, natural wood shades are chosen.
Manufacturing materials select suitable for the style of the overall interior design, the most popular:

• metal;
• solid wood;

The metal is present in the form of a solid structure or only legs are made from it - forged or in the form of hollow pipes. A natural or artificial stone is used to make a tabletop or separate decorative parts. MDF and fiberboard is veneered with valuable wood species. A tabletop is created from dark or clear glass, and the entire plastic structure is installed in the bathroom.

For the country house, if necessary, construct a toilet table from scrap materials with his own hands. Use euro pallets, the remnants of old furniture, mirror, also cut their own hands.

Illumination

The highlight above the “ladies corner” is of great importance. If it is possible to equip it within the reach of daylight, then it is better to do so. Otherwise, use electric lighting. This is the main upper light, the sconce directly above the mirror on the wall, several spotlights on rotating brackets.

Modern designers offer special make-up mirrors - on the frame, around its perimeter or two or three sides, spotlights or LED strip are mounted. This allows you to apply make-up as accurately as possible, accurately, carefully, to fully appreciate its quality. Such an item in a simple square frame fits perfectly into the interior hi-tech, loft, minimalism, industrial. Sometimes a ribbon with light bulbs is “allowed” around the perimeter of the table top or along the bottom drawers, which allows you to visually impart lightness to the structure.

The abundance of light lifts the mood, and when it comes from all sides, you can feel like a real star on the podium.

Mirror location

Mirror stir:

• on the wall - usually it is a large mirror cloth “full-length wall”, less often - round or square, 50 to 50 size;
• fixed to the tabletop - there is a “back”, from the same material as the table, a mirror plane is mounted on it;
• folding - when folded, it looks like a custom tabletop, when it is understood against a wall, it becomes a mirror, revealing sections of jewelry and cosmetics under it;
• portable on a stand - usually small, can have "legs".

With the help of a mirror, they create interesting accents in the room - a large one can visually expand the space, filling it with light, the small round one creates a feeling of home comfort.

Comfortable seat

The seat is hard if it was intended, but it is much more comfortable to sit on the soft. A stool, ottoman, high chair, armchair, bench are decorated with a cover, a fabric matched in color with other textile interior decoration, and a soft, flat pad. This item can be a bright accent in a monochrome room.

The addition will be a small soft, suitable in color, style, a rug under the table, especially if you plan to rest here for a long time with bare feet.

Table arrangement

They put a table in almost any room, but more often in such places:

• near the window - the location allows you to save on lighting in the daytime, which is convenient for applying daytime makeup;
• in the dressing area - acceptable, if there is enough space;
• at the head or foot of a bed, couch;
• in a spacious hallway or bathroom.

When there is only one room in a dwelling or it is a studio apartment, the dressing table is located in one of its corners behind the screen.

In the bedroom

Most often, this item "ladies" interior is placed in the bedroom, because this is the most secluded room, where no one puts himself in order. If there are many women in the family, then these tables are located in the bedrooms of each of them - for mother, grandmother, daughter, etc. A narrow console is installed at the head of the bed, with a small round or rectangular mirror fixed on it, it is also possible to install it "in the legs". When the design is placed against the wall, this area is decorated with curtains, textile valzh on the table and chair.

If the dressing table is decided to be placed in the living room, since there is not enough space in the bedroom, it becomes an independent art object for which it is allocated its own special area.

In the dressing room

A dressing table in the dressing room is installed in case the bedroom space has to be shared with a man or there is simply not enough space. Here they also assemble a large pierum in order to immediately assess the conformity of the hairstyle, make-up, clothes and shoes. Well, if there is a window there - makeup, applied in daylight, looks on the street more naturally. The design is preferable to light shades to visually slightly expand the room, because not many houses can boast a spacious wardrobe.

In the hallway or hall

In the presence of free space in the hallway, set the table with a mirror in the wall. It is convenient to place this construction in a niche - it will take it completely or will lean back to the side, opening a large mirror. When there is very little space, a semi-circular wall table is mounted, sometimes it is placed in a corner - in the form of a sector of 90 degrees. If there are several mirrors in the lobby, they are decorated in a similar manner - carved wooden frames, LED lighting, engraved on the edge.

In the bathroom

When placing the structure in the bathroom, you should carefully consider the ventilation - otherwise the mirror will constantly sweat, you will have to wipe it continuously. The best option is a plastic cabinet with a mirror. If there is a window, then the countertop is combined with a window sill, and under the bottom are mounted drawers for everything needed. When there is very little space in the combined bathroom, a table is placed between the bathroom and the toilet, but such an arrangement is “unbelievable.”

If the “ladies corner” is mounted in a combined bathroom, and there are a lot of people in the family, then you should have a “spare” dressing table in another room of the apartment, otherwise the time for applying morning makeup can be very limited.

In the nursery

For a girl over ten years old, the “ladies' corner” will also be useful. It is made in a little childish style, gentle colors. The table is equipped with drawers, shelves, where the future woman will keep her children's cosmetics, perfumery, and bijoux. Materials manufacturing are selected environmentally friendly. The dressing table and chair for the "little princess" should match the height, ideally have an adjustable height, that is, "grow with the child." Sitting behind such a construction is convenient not only to care for the face, hair, but also to read, to do needlework. If necessary, use a low footrest. Illumination is made with the help of a desk lamp, contour illumination with LEDs.

A simple dressing table for a girl is made from an old written one, slightly changing its shape, covering it with beautiful paints, complementing it with a mirror canvas.
