Chic dressing table designs for small bedrooms

1. Designs for Dressing Tables that Blend into a Small Bedroom’s Interiors

The first thing to think about when styling a small bedroom design (or any small space for that matter) is using clever tips and tricks to visually make the room look bigger. A fail-proof idea is always creating a sense of uniformity with the materials and colour that are chosen for the décor. When they blend or pair well together, the resulting seamlessness will make the room look neater and more open. Similarly, a modern dressing table design follows a similar pattern or aesthetic as the rest of the room’s design palette. In this small bedroom idea, we see the same wood used across the bed, the wardrobe, the doors and ceiling beams, and even on the dressing table and chair.

4. Build a Dressing Table as an Extension of Your In-built Wardrobe

If you have in-built cupboards in the bedroom, chances are they are built within a niche in a wall. For uniformity, you can create space for a dresser or vanity at one end of your closet so that it’s neatly tucked away in the wall while also maintaining the room’s aesthetic. This is also a clever idea for anyone who has a niche or nook in a wall. Instead of letting this space go to waste, fit in a simple table with drawers and a small stool to create a modern dressing table design for the bedroom.

5. Add a Pop of Colour to the Bedroom with Your Dressing Table’s Chair

Whether it’s a simple stool or an elaborate and plush armchair, your dressing table’s chair lends its style to your small bedroom’s interior. While the rest of your décor can be muted or pared down, you could experiment with a bit of maximalism on this piece of furniture. Since it’s moveable (and can be placed in other rooms when needed or if you ever tire of it) you could upholster it in fabrics with vibrant prints or a single bright jewel-toned colour to liven the décor.

 We’re partial to Asian Paints’ latest range of quality furnishings, where you can even get prints from one of India’s most beloved fashion designers Sabyasachi Mukherjee.

6. A Nook in the Bathroom can Double as a Space for a Vanity

Most urban homes in India struggle with space in the bathroom. However, even if you find a nook or corner that’s not in use, you could create a dressing table in a pinch. By placing a mirror on the wall with a ledge below it, you can have your own vanity in a small-space bathroom design.

Style Tip:

 To jazz it up a bit, add some design details to the corners of the mirror. If you want to create a beach-inspired look, stick shells around the mirror’s edges; or paint the entire frame in your favourite colour.

7. What to do with a Vantiy’s Mirror When Not in Use?

For those who follow the traditional Indian science of architecture called Vastu Shastra, placing a mirror in a bedroom can be slightly tricky. As a rule of thumb, you don’t want the mirror to be facing the bed in such a way where you can see your reflection while resting on it. This can serve as a challenge when designing a small bedroom interior. While a mirror is the most essential piece on a dressing table, how do you conceal it when not in use? A clever solution is a folding mirror that can be closed after use. Available in a range of different styles, this particular one with a marble base and metallic detailing pairs perfectly with the cane-front dresser it’s on.

8. A Chest of Drawers can Double as a Modern Dressing Table Design

While the countertop of a chest of drawers serves as the perfect spot for placing a mirror, the drawers below create ample storage. This multitasking piece of furniture could also work as a bedside table in a small-space bedroom.

Style Tip:

 As tempting as it is to place all your beauty products on the dressing table’s countertop, it’s more stylish to store them away. Use the outside surface of your vanity to display décor objects, plants or art for a chicer look.

9. Match the Frame of Your Vanity’s Mirror to it’s Chair

To create even more uniformity, you can work in some intricate style detailing into your dressing table’s design. Since this set up isn’t very large in size, it’s décor won’t overpower the aesthetic of the room. We love how the tufted upholstery on this dressing table’s chair is used to frame the mirror. This dressing table mirror idea not only creates a unique spin on an often overlooked area but also adds a subtle maximalist aesthetic to the entire bedroom.

10. The Art of Styling a Chic Dressing Table

Since the dressing table is a part of the bedroom, its designs and details lend its aesthetic to the space. So how does one choose the right vanity and style it so that it is an extension of their personality? As a starting point, look at the rest of the décor around you. If it’s for a small bedroom, choose elements that are minimal and airy. And don’t forget the wall around this dresser. To add a personal touch, use this space around and on the dressing table to hang frames or sentimental souvenirs.
