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 12th 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





Room measurements


Existing furniture materials


Current or planned color scheme


Time frame and deadlines


Your budget






Taking these key points into consideration will save you hours and give you a list to pre qualify furniture before you look too deeply into it before finding out that it won’t ship to your location or is 3 metres tall. We find if were organised when we offer mirrored furniture online we don’t have to make you overspend and we don’t take forever to ship, this for us is a must to have under control.





The first consideration to remember when one is shopping for mirror furniture is to know your budget plain and simply do not look at furniture that you can not afford rule number one. Plan your budget and plan what costs you consider the minimum and what you consider the maximum that you would pay. This gives you a nice boundary to work within. Mirrors can be expensive and so can wardrobes, but not when you plan your budget.









Open plan living and clever mirror positioning.





Mirrored bedroom furniture adds a hint of glamour and elegance to your bedroom. For example, if you were buying bedroom furniture with mirrors you would want to gauge the area before you're prepared to shop as mentioned above. If you've got an apartment like the one shown above you have less space to work with than someone shopping for a house sized bedroom..





If you've got metal-embossed furniture within the room, consider searching for a framed mirror with metal- embossed frames also much like this Beck Field Decorative Mirror. Having mirrored furniture in your house can bring a feeling of elegance and beauty to a room which other furniture can't. It is an important piece of furniture in the modern home and I take every opportunity to walk past a mirror and then walk back past it again to have another glance at my reflection, everyone does it.





It is an excellent choice for anyone who is interested in light designs and wants to bring out some of the other features and furniture within their room.











Reflective furniture is popular right now.

For anybody who is seeking to brighten up an ordinarily dark room, we think French mirrored furniture could possibly be what you're looking for with its elegant feel. Or you might decide to position one where it can brighten a dark room or maybe to make a little room seem bigger. Take note there are no limitations about how you use the big French mirrored furniture pieces to decorate your room. Classic, timeless furniture and several fantastic trimmings like wall art and light fittings are easily available. This all fits nicely with the French mirrored furniture collection.





Plan where you're likely to set the mirror first. There are several kinds to select from but a cheval mirror is possibly one of the most popular and useful. Some folks even find their preferred mirror on the road, waiting to be thrown out with the remainder of somebody else's junk.





Mirrors should be placed in positions that allow for the room to appear bigger than it actually is, this is a smart trick used by interior designers for making rooms look bigger. You can position mirrors on furniture in corners or parts of the room that are central to add some depth with the reflective window back into the room. You can have some fun with the positioning of the mirrors in your bedroom.

We believe that sticking to similar color blends is what works for us in our room shots but a you or your partner may only want contrasting colors in your furniture collection because it stands out. You need to select the color theme that works for what you have or what you plan to have in 3 months. We think a good idea is to have the furniture a warm wooden color or with a trim and light blue pastels on the walls and curtains, to us that’s very homely and welcoming.

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;





Brighter and emit more light per watt that than classic bulbs


Extremely quick on/off time


Smaller


Longer lifespan


Incredibly hard to damage compared to other lights




There’s no denying it has taken the 21st century by storm and there’s no denying LED’s are here to grow, evolve and certainly last for generations.





LED Furniture



Among the most popular use cases of LED’s such as large RBG display sets (televisions) and display lights, manufacturers are now experimenting with placing LED’s in furniture pieces for in and around your home.

Pieces with lovely silver leaf detailing and beautifully shaped feet are ideal for transforming any relaxation space. Equally Venetian pieces with smoked glass finishes make a great alternative to typical French chests and still retain a distinctive character.

Your home is your proud possession as you may have spent your lifelong savings on it. So, enhancing its beauty with the right furniture and accessories is significant to make it more stunning. But, many homeowners spend their time, money, and effort to decorate the interior of the house. What they forget is that the exterior holds more appeal to the guests and other people. Therefore at Homes Direct 365 we say you need to augment the beauty of the exterior of your home to make the overall visual appeal enticing. Focusing on the exterior design of the areas like the gardens, garage, and the outhouse is important to make your home look elegant and stunning. So, what can you do about it? The best method is to decorate your exterior space with the exquisite range of antique French style furniture and decorating accessories to create a unique yet stylish look. The antique French style furniture has a romantic appeal as it reminds you of the golden sunlight, mesmerizing fields, and rustic charm.











Outhouse



Decorating your outhouse may seem like an extravagant cost, but the stylish design can achieve a seamless harmony to your home. The relaxed vibe coming from the French design will make our home look warm and inviting. Get creative with the following factors to make our outhouse exude the rustic, old world charm.







Colors: Using the mustard gold, lemony yellow, gentle greens, soft purples, red to rust with the black and grey can offer the wall simplicity. It creates a cheery environment that compliments the appeal of your home.







Furniture: Ditch the ordinary furniture and opt for the French style furniture that is also known as the peasant furniture. The simple yet intricate design can improve the look of the outhouse as the highly ornate style can make a powerful visual impact. The cane panel inserts and rustic carvings along with the lightly stained wood tones of the furniture. The outdoor furniture and table bases using distressed metal or wrought iron also adds a mystical beauty to your outhouse.







Lighting Accessories: Imbibing the charm of the French countryside with the metal chandeliers of unpolished metal or bronze adorned with crystal droplets, wall sconces, and lanterns, using accents of damask in the shades of the outhouse, etc. can create a romantic ambiance. You will feel happy and loved by the beautiful accessories.

Garage



For many people, the garage is just a space to park the car, but it has more functions than you can imagine. It can function as an automotive shop, storage center, a tool shed, or your entertainment area to invite friends and family members. You can enhance the style of the garage according to your needs, if the antique style does not feel like the right style for a garage or you fear the dirt, dust and grime might ruin the furniture then perhaps opt for a more modern durable type of garage decor. You can find everything from units, shelves, flooring and cabinets at places like Garage Solutions . You can add style and character to your garage by revamping it with the antique French style designs but there is no reason why you cant have a modern garage and a French style exterior. A stunning garage can change the appeal of the exterior design by making it more beautiful and elegant. The French style garage doors can become a great addition to your exterior appeal. The rustic garage features can enhance the overall external appeal of your home and make it stand apart from the others. Though it has an old world look, it makes your home look more welcoming and warm to your guest and family members who will feel comfortable in the space and if you opt for the modern garage interior then you get the best of both worlds.

The French are known for their elegance and style especially when it comes to fashion. And it isn’t only in fashion that the French excel. They have the natural gift for making beautiful homes. Most of us desire such homes but we cannot all move to France. However, there are ways that you can use to bring France into your home.



Have you ever asked yourself how the French make such beautiful homes?





The French Furniture Secrets



Homes Direct 365 have some tips from the French that you can adopt when styling your home.









History




French homes are steeped in history. The French achieve this through such ways as hanging antiques on the walls. Furthermore, you should try to blend history with more contemporary designs. This will contribute greatly to the style.

https://www.homesdirect365.co.uk/studley-shabby-chic-heart-2-wall-hooks-p43503











“Effortlessness”




Simply put, do not try too hard. Try to keep things as simple as you can. You should try not to stick to a particular style. Be imaginative instead of sticking with one theme and you will be impressed.















Colors




Colors are the best way to liven up your design and also the best way to mix historical designs with more contemporary ones. Neutral colors can also achieve the French theme but you cannot really have fun with them.

https://www.homesdirect365.co.uk/estelle-four-poster-antique-french-style-bed-p40334







Reuse and Recycle




There are a lot of ways in which you can add some style to your French home by reusing and recycling. The benefit of this is that you can add a unique touch to your home while benefiting the environment.













French Design in Different Rooms



Here are some of the ways you can incorporate French design in the different rooms of your home.







Kitchen




The kitchen is one place where you can easily combine historical design and more modern designs. For instance, you can have the cabinet doors and the furniture given an old rustic feel. Reusable wood can serve this purpose very well. Then, to add a bit of color, you can give the walls a coat of yellow paint. This will add the modern feel to the kitchen you can browse our full range on Homes Direct 365.



You can experiment with the curtains but anything with a floral pattern will work. When it comes to the accessories, you can let your imagination run wild. A visit to the thrift shop will get you stuff like old tin cans for utensils or some display items to put on the shelves. Overhead lighting will give your kitchen some extra style and you can even go big with a chandelier.

https://www.homesdirect365.co.uk/colorado-shabby-chic-dresser-base-p42950







Dining Room




The table and chairs can be the of dark colored or white-painted wood. You can also have mismatched vintage chairs for a cheap and unique setting. You can also spruce up the walls with some antiques for a more traditional feel. For a more modern feel, you can have a color like yellow or green on the walls. In the dining room, you can experiment with the lighting but you have to make sure that it keeps on with the decor. You can have a chandelier or for more style, you can go for standing lamps.

Living room




The living room is where most people at home relax and gather. It is, therefore, important that it gets a special touch. The furniture can be made from recycled wood and you can even create replicas of French furniture. You can even get authentic French furniture even though that might be a bit expensive.



For the walls, you can be adventurous you can combine blue or beige paint and wallpaper to create color patterns that will give the room a unique feel. Furthermore, you can add some paintings to the walls for an extra personal touch. You can drape the windows with heavy curtains if you wish to capture an ancient French theme. You can go big with the lighting and get a crystal chandelier or you can keep it simple and have some lampstands.

Bedroom




Paris is sometimes referred to as the city of love and romance and there is no reason why should add that to your bedroom. You can do something unique like getting a metal bed if you wish to capture classic French culture. The bed can also be made off carved out wood for a more stylish design.



Your bedroom walls can match your personality and you can give them the color of your choice. In addition, experiment with the lighting for a unique feel.

Red paved bricks


There is nothing quite like the vintage looks of red paved bricks. image source


The classic looks can easily fit and compliment any exterior. If you want to bring in the sense of gravel and nature, you could place paves slightly away from each other and fill up the grout with soil, rubble, or any other type of filling that matches your palette.


If you’re after the classic contemporary look - red paved bricks are well-known and recognised feature that can be incorporate into any backyard or patio.

Textured bricks


Texture brings a natural and aesthetic touch to any design.


Contrary to red bricks, textured ones come in a wide range of colours which means you can experiment or blend in with a wide range of palettes. You could match texture with concrete, gravel, tiles, masonry and even use them for decoration.

Grass lined paving


If you want to bring the extra dash of nature to your home, how about filling the gaps between block paving with grass?


It will not only save you the cost on gravel but it with please you all the way from Spring to Fall. Use grass as if it is grout and you won’t have to do much maintenance at all. Contrary to cement, gravel or pebbles, there is far less care, effort and expenses required in the long term.


And of course, having natural grass merging with your block paving is absolutely beautiful.

Paving pathways throughout the garden


To build a pathway requires careful planning but the result is well worth it.


You could furnish it with seating, tables, french garden ornaments, garden figures, such as antique columns, stone fountains, bird feeders, planters, stands, garden containers, tins and more, as long block paving is properly leveled and acts as a sturdy foundation.


One way of achieving solid grounds is by laying a cement base. On its turn, cement will save you the effort of tackling grass and weeds over time.



Build a dedicated dining and seating area


Although England isn’t famous for its great summer weather, a cosy and well-furnished seating area is an invaluable asset for any backyard or patio. You can both have friends over or simply sit back and take your mind away from chores and responsibilities.

If you are a passionate landscaper fond of decorating, you can fill the area with well-chosen plant life that could energise, repel bugs or even herbs to use at home.


But of course, if you do not want to invest too much effort nor funds into hefty landscaping and gardening, you could stick to scattered benches throughout the area, alongside a sturdy fireplace or BBQ.

A popular solution for electric appliances that are difficult to power is the use of external units such as the predator generator, which can be easily relocated to serve as backup power for your house, too.

The following blog post 9 garden ideas to inspire. Brickwork, paving, landscaping and more! was originally published to Homes Direct 365 Limited

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.

The shabby chic style dwells much on simplicity. A simple vase may go a long way into making a statement in your home improvement tweaks. To accessorise your home is the new redecorate your home tactic, fast easy and none permanent.
