Ok, listen up dressing table wanna-haves. There are a few things you need to know before you buy to get yourself the best quality and the best deal. And, although you might think dressing tables a luxury, a good one can help reduce bedroom clutter - so they're actually practical, too! Take a look at my buying tips, then go shopping...
Personally, I'm a big fan of dressing rooms (just think, a whole space dedicated to grooming and dressing up!) and a functional and fabulous dressing table is a luxury no lady can do without.
Mirrored dressing tables are everywhere at the moment (we spotted one in Next at the bargain price of £199) but they are a sexy alternative to some more traditional wooden units. If you do prefer wood, try something like walnut, which will look more retro than rustic.

Not everyone's a fan of the boudoir look, but dressing tables needn't be prissy. A well-designed bureau or console - anything that you can tuck your legs underneath and that won't look too officey - can work just as well, if accessorised properly. A good mirror, comfy chair and tabletop light are an absolute must.
