The angular oh-so-chic lines of this one makes it better for the, shall we say, less cluttered bedroom. Crafted with real walnut veneers and a protective low sheen lacquer for added durability. Autograph Mercer console table, £449, Marks & Spencer, H73xW120xD40cm

For those that don't have a lot of extra space to fit a dressing table into their bedrooms, this compact little black number could be the answer. Also available in a light oak finish. Loop leg dressing table, £145, Dwell, H77xW92xD45cm (H156 including mirror).

The dark wenge style finish is just delectable and can be teamed with lighter-coloured accessories, such as a sumptuous white leather chair, if you want to lighten the overall look. Sara dressing table, £299, MFI, H74.8xD54cm.

Harking to 1930s elegance, this one will make you feel like a debutante even if you're just off to the neighbours' for a glass or three of red. The top and double drawers are mirrored with bevelled detailing on the edges. Jamie Lady table, £695, Graham & Green, H73xW95xD44.5cm

We love the minimal, modern styling of this American black walnut dressing table. There is some great detailing, including dovetailing at the front and back of the solid walnut drawers, and you can buy a mirror to match, too. Best of all, this dressing table would make an equally good desk. Miri dressing table, from £595, New Heights, H75xW118xD55cm

Simple yet characterful, this dainty one is styled after typical country Scandinavian pine furniture. The grain is emphasised with a water-based stain. Providence dressing table, £195, John Lewis, H152xW95xD65cm

This is a little bit special. Made completely by hand, using solid rosewood veneers and hand-antiqued leather, it has oodles of storage for beauty essentials, as well as a couple of secret compartments. It folds sway when not in use. Pouf separate. Brocante dressing table, from £1,695, (mirror, with hiddlen storage compartments, H54xW87xD6cm)

This chunky yet elegant one doesn't come with a mirror, but that gives you a good chance to personalise it. The beautiful Chinese white oak finish is complemented by the bold and practical detailing around the handles. Monterey dressing table, £425, John Lewis, H80xW112xD50cm

There's a subtle walnut accent in the solid cherry of the Peninsula range - walnut spindles and marquetry provide a little extra for the eye. Part of a range that includes everything from the bed to a floor-standing mirror. Peninsula dressing table, from £499, New Heights, H76xW103xD50cm (mirror, with hiddlen storage compartments, H54xW87xD6cm)

Add a touch of Hollywood glamour to your bedroom with this gorgeous unit. There’s a good-sized mirror for preening, a lovely mirrored shelf on which to display your poshest perfumes, and drawers for hiding away your best smalls and other precious items. You’ll need a reasonably tall chair, or stool, to accompany it, but this just makes it more unique. Best feature? Possibly the lacquered doors – very handy for the occasional morning when you can’t stand the sight of yourself and want to cover up the mirror. Vinstra two-door cabinet with mirror. £290; Andrea Rund rug, £175, both Ikea (H185xW98xD39cm)
