FAQs for Colourful Dressing Table Designs
1. How do I choose the right colour for my dressing table?
When choosing a coloured dressing table, the first thing you need to decided is whether you want the dressing table to be an accent or blend into the surrounding palette. Neutral colours like soft whites, pale greys, taupe and beige can seamlessly blend into a variety of colour palettes and décor styles. You can create a stronger visual with colours like black, pink, deep blue, emerald green and metallics. These will turn your dressing table into the focal point of the room.
2. Can I paint my old dressing table?
That really depends on the material and finish of your old dressing table but for the most part - yes. Natural and engineered wood can be painted with the appropriate primers and wood paints. However, the surface prep will differ considerably depending on the material and the condition of the old dressing table. A DIY option here might be to use high-quality and easy-to-clean wallpaper to cover the dressing table and give it new life.

Chalk paint can be used on a variety of surfaces so I can be the perfect DIY makeover for your dressing table. It dries into a soft matte finish and can even be used to create a rustic, distressed finish.
- First remove all the hardware and clean the surfaces to be painted well.
- Chalk paint adheres well to furniture (especially wood furniture) without the use of primer and sanding. However, the surface prep depends on the condition of your old dressing table.
- If it has deep scratches or a very uneven or flaky finish, it will need some sanding and/or filling.
- Apply one coat to the cleaned surface and let it dry completely. Usually, a second coat of paint is needed.
- Once it is completely dry, apply a coat of chalk paint wax, following the application instructions. Wait for it to dry and your coloured dressing table is ready.
