A dressing table is two things – an iconic and flattering piece of decor, and a functional piece of equipment that helps you look your best as you step out of your room into the world. So, a dressing table, vanity tables or makeup desk whichever term you prefer should make both you and your home look good.

But how much do you know about these amazing personal styling stations?

Diverse Styles and Options

Today, there are many types of dressing tables. And not only that, they also feature a diverse selection of design styles. Some come accessorized with a variety of features so that you have a place your jewellery and make up (hence why some people call these "makeup desks"). But its not all about how much a dressing table can help you dress up. It should also help make your room a little more luxurious and sophisticated.

Style options at Homes Direct 365 range from classic to modern. So, if you like vintage designs, then you will not be disappointed. The same case applies to lovers of modern contemporary designs. Collections of vanity tables make the process of choosing the right dressing table for your house and your needs a lot easier.

For instance, you might be in favor of white dressing tables, or even Baroque style alternatives. All these are available in a variety of personal styles to ensure that your personal design options are met.

Some of these tables are quite innovative too. Today, there are dressing tables & vanity desks that are designed to have mirrors that rotate 360 degrees for a more convenient use experience. Gorgeous carvings, splendid decorations, and other features make such vanity tables a delight to have in your room.

How well-featured the table is also something you get to choose as well. For instance, while tales will have a single drawer, others can have as many as 5 drawers. Similarly, some might not come with a stool. That is not a given as some people think. However, the best dressing tables have a stool as well, and that should make their use more convenient.

Why Get a Dressing Table, Vanity Desk, Makeup Desk?

A great dressing table should be an excellent start to the day. Few things can be as uplifting as sitting at an adorable dressing table, making yourself look your best and contemplating the beautiful day that awaits you. Just look at the fine example below, its almost a piece of art as opposed to a functional dressing table but what makeup desk to have to start your day.

How to Pick a Dressing Table

When choosing a dressing table, there are a couple of things to consider. The first and the most obvious step is to settle on the design preference you have in mind. Not all tables are designed the same; and people’s tastes differ considerably. That is why you have to ask yourself – what is my design preference?

Once you have figured that out, you have to consider what you need the table for. Typically, it should help you dress up properly. But there is more to a dressing table than that. For instance, a dressing table could have some drawers where you can put your brushes, combs, make up and other stuff so that the things you need to dress up are within easy reach.

Also, although the mirror is the centerpiece of any makeup desk, you also need to figure out just how large of a mirror you need. Some people would like the mirror to be as large as possible, while others don’t mind a dressing table with a medium sized mirror.

For a little more cash, you can enjoy a few more conveniences as well. These include a cushioned stool, soft close drawers, and sturdier and more durable construction material. An adjustable mirror is also a premium feature, and its worth pursuing as it allows you to bend the mirror downwards and in any direction suitable for you as you use the dressing table.

Some premium dressing tables even have a glass table top that is very easy to clean up. And if you want a dressing table with plenty of space to place and display your make up accessories, or even place a flower vase or a c, then this is an option you have as well.

In the interior design industry, words such as ‘in trend’ or ‘fashion movement’ are thrown around relentlessly. When looking to summarise an interior design style or a products appearance, the aforementioned words no doubt will be used. So, what do we actually mean by ‘trend’ and ‘fashion movement’? And why is mirrored furniture a trend?

The Trendy Trends Are Unstoppable

With furniture or interiors, a design trend simply comes down to adoption. A person or group of people who define a particular product or style as ‘cool’ integrate this within their lifestyle, if it really is a cool trend, this will then get adopted.

Trends in the furniture and interior design industry aren’t going to stop. The 70`s brought us the floral pink trend, the 80`s was, well, everything fur, the late 90`s was the huge minimalistic approach up until present day where mirrored furniture is the most recent beautiful innovation.

If you like the in-trend design or are like me and prefer to have and or to innovate the latest ‘in trend’ interior decor then embrace it! Some trends evolve and change and if it really is cool, then there’s no hiding as mass adoption will occur.

Trend or Movement

Unlike trends, movements don't come and go. Movement’s will stay until they are no longer needed. Generally, movements are replaced by something superior as it is no longer of practical or of fashionable use.

The Venetian Mirrored Furniture Trend

Named after the beautiful city of Venice where mirrors originated and heavily inspired by the Venetian period of time, mirrored furniture is certainly the current trend at the forefront of innovative design styles.

Initially, mirrored furniture was crafted with clear glass panels and designed with a practical and simplistic approach. However, like all trends, craftsmen and innovative designers have been elaborating on the classic mirrored furniture piece to create a trend of wonderful decorative and sometimes elaborate trendy mirrored furniture pieces. A full beautiful collection of classic or elaborate mirrored furniture pieces can be found online from Homesdirect365.

Aaron from Essential Home & Garden has noticed a trend of sensory gardens. These are areas designated to creativity and none typical garden features to arouse sensations of touch, taste, smell, hearing and sight with the latter often utilising various types of mirrors, mirrored objects and mirrored furniture. A very interesting topic that we had not come across before with many great examples and descriptions online also covered by The Guardian.

The Classic Mirrored

Created using clear cut glass and often wood, the simplistic mirrored furniture is what initially started the trend. With a classic design, these pieces will fit in practically any setting.

Elaborate Mirrored Pieces

With the classic mirrored furniture gaining much popularity and settings trends, designers began experimenting with different takes on mirrored furniture. This led to the experimentation of using gold frames with mirrors, crystal handles, patterned mirrored surfaces, and even a curved mirrored front or crushed glass design on pieces.

The Future of Mirrored Furniture

With mirrored furniture being the new ‘in trend’ it’s impossible to determine when, or if, this trend will end. It may have the same timeless appeal to future generations as the always in trend shabby chic or antique French furniture, from the 12^th century up until present shabby chic and French furniture has always been a popular timeless choice.

Whilst it’s impossible to predict the future of mirrored furniture and furniture trends, what we do know is that mirrored furniture is evolving and growing and is at the forefront of interior design.

Mirrored Furniture – A Trend Not a Fashion Movement was first published to Homes Direct 365 French Furniture

Considering furnishing your bedroom? Not really sure if you want to mirrored furniture or rustic collections? There are so many choices it can be overwhelming. We looked at hundreds and hundreds of wardrobes and chests of drawers when deciding which to design and sell to fit any style of master bedroom. Finding the design that ticked all the boxes was difficult. We like mirrors and we like squarish shapes, finding furniture that had that and looked a certain way has been challenging.

We consider the bedroom to be the centerpiece of my room with my chest of drawers and wardrobe the support pieces. We want the room to display a particular look and feel and want the furniture to reflect that in appearance. We use a lot of mirrors in our bedroom shots and like mirrored furniture to be scattered throughout the room.

Classic mirrored furniture is becoming more and more popular precisely due to its beauty and function, it's luxurious yet surprisingly reasonably priced as you can see on Homes Direct 365. Instead of simply hoisting a mirror onto a plank of wood these furniture pieces have styling and class. We have noticed more and more of our friends and customers taking time to look into furniture comprised of the following materials MDF, treated wood, recycled wood and reflective exteriors. This popular shift in trends towards a more natural and green furniture makeup is not surprising.

Shopping for a particular item for the bedroom, you can fast track a lot of the qualifying questions by knowing your minimum requirements before you even start browsing.

Some of the key points that you should know upfront

Light emitting diodes or more commonly referred to as LED’s are pieces of electrical equipment or components that will emit light when connected to or within a direct current.

The first to investigate and theorise LED lighting was a Russian named Oleg Vladimirovich Losev in 1927 and first published work highlighting the effects and the theory behind LED lighting. Despite Oleg laying the fundamentals of the first light emitting diode lighting, it wasn’t until the early 1970’s until the first LED was used in a use case scenario. The use of the first LED was fibre optics in telecommunications.

From the onset light emitting diodes were very expensive, costing almost £200 per piece. The high price of light-emitting diodes meant that it could only be used in professional environments and wasn’t actively available to the public. As the technological world advanced, however, creating and finding cheaper ways to manufacture electrical equipment and to produce in mass gave LED’s a much cheaper market price and the ability to use in consumer products.

Why LED?

So why is it that wherever we look, we are greeted with the words LED? Be it a LED television, remote control, dining table or accessories? The most common advantages it has over its counterparts are;

The Homes Direct 365 shabby chic style is not very common, but it is something a lot of people have opted to take up in modern-day interior decor. The shabby chic is torn between classy and edgy - and everything in between. This style gives a room the feeling of having been around for a while. This means the shabby chic room will have a look that stands the test of time. Below are some of the elements you could consider if you are a shabby chic kind of person.

1. Colour

Your choice of colour will obviously make your work stand out. It is easy to be drawn into the bright colours and shades, but the shabby chic style calls for a more mild choice of colour. Greys, blues and antique rose are among the avenues you ought to focus on. The subtle feel of this style is what cuts it from the rest.

However, this does not mean you are forbidden from having a little fun and playing around with colour. The trick lies in not being carried away. A ribbon or bow in your favourite colour may be accommodated in a few elements in your decor. An off-white hue serves to bring out the timeline in this decor and a few rustic accessories can make a huge contribution to the feel of the room.

2. Arrangement

Have you heard of the phrase less is more? Well, it rings true in this particular area. A simple couch in the corner, a throw or a cushion will make your fashion statement. Some people have argued that the shabby chic style borrows a lot from the past. Although this is true, the arrangement of furniture or wall hangings may determine whether the style will be a hit or a miss.

Apart from the physical attributes of the furniture, the looks also play a vital role. Shabby chic style does not usually include a new and shiny feel but an old worn feel. The truth is, the old and rugged has a more inviting feel to it, a more homely setting than a crisp new show home. The look that people strive for is not always a minimal less is more kind of look either, in fact you will see a lot of shabby chic room shots that seem to a clutter of trinkets and materials spread out in an almost claustrophobic way. A secret decor element most people will use is the mirror. Apart from brightening up the room, it gives an illusion of space to reduce the feeling of cramped clutter.

3. Flowers

There can never be decor without flowers. One can only improve their home appearance through a choice of flowers by complimenting the chosen accent colour of the room with matching coloured flowers. Again, the shabby chic style dwells a lot on your hues. However, flowers may be expensive and require a lot of care. Not to worry. Flowers do not always have to be real. You can go around this requirement by, for example, getting a flower painting or having floral images in your ordinary decor items.

4. Environment

The shabby chic style may not be advisable for a formal setting, especially because of the colour choice. Whilst a formal setting may require bold colours, the shabby chic is anything but that. It may be more applicable in a wedding, baby shower, birthday party, graduation, or prom. A gender reveal party may be the best since you get to play around with minimal colours - we know how colours can speak volumes at a gender reveal party.
