Dressing Table Designs That are Perfect for Small Rooms

Even after squeezing in a bed and wardrobe, you can still fit a dresser in a small bedroom.

We have here 11 great examples that give boudoir a whole new meaning.

1. Opting for a minimalist approach, this dressing table is all about stylish necessities – a chic round mirror set against a warm wooden backdrop. It’s aesthetically simple and tucked neatly into an alcove without taking up the bedroom's valuable space.

2. The best location for a vanity table is where you spend your time getting ready – the walk-in wardrobe. With soft bulb lights on the mirror and natural lighting streaming in from the window, this dressing table is perfect for makeup application.

6. One way to keep things off your dressing table? Make use of a recessed cubbyhole to stash the less-frequently used products. Add on the bulb lights for Hollywood glamour.

7. There are no rules that state your dressing table has to be in a corner of your room somewhere. Bend the rules a little and have it right in the middle so that it also doubles up as a divider between bed and wardrobe. You can easily get your carpenter to make something similar or find the perfect one online or in interior boutiques.

9. Here's a great example on how to work that awkward corner where the bedroom window is - borrow a space within your wardrobe and build in the dressing table for a streamlined effect. It fits in perfectly with the design flow so everything looks neat.

10. Nevermind that the vanity dresser is in the living room (this house belongs to a makeup-artiste) - the design allows you to conceal the dresser when not in use, great if you need to hide messes!
