How do you combine a desk with a dressing table? practical solutions for small spaces

A desk is a space created for work and a dressing table for daily beauty rituals. It is good to have both of these pieces of furniture, but the square footage of our flat does not always allow us to do so. What to do in such a situation? It's simple! Let's create a dressing table on the desk and enjoy the functionality of both pieces of furniture.

How do I combine a desk with a dressing table? This is a question asked by many people who happen to work from home but need a place to apply their make-up or take care of their beauty. Fortunately, to create a comfortable space even in a small room, all we need is the right equipment. When deciding to buy a desk, make sure it has built-in drawers or shelves. Also remember to hang a mirror and install additional lighting. That's all it takes for the recipe for a desk dressing table to be fully complete.

A desk dressing table? With the right furniture it is possible!

In small spaces, every centimetre is worth its weight in gold, so when creating an arrangement, it is worth betting on multifunctional furniture. Consider buying a desk with built-in drawers, shelves or organisers. This will make it easier to store make-up brushes, cosmetics and office accessories that you want to keep close at hand.

Also pay attention to the size of the furniture. Make sure that the dressing table with desk is large enough to accommodate all the essentials, but compact enough not to overwhelm the space. Lovers of personalised touches can design a piece of furniture for themselves. All they have to do is opt for the Creative dressing table and choose the right interior, legs, handles or body colour.

An accessory to think about at the desk purchase stage is a comfortable chair. This has to work especially well when our spine is in a forced position. An upholstered chair with a swivel seat from the Onest collection will give us relief from prolonged sitting . The wooden frame will ensure stability, while the wide seat and low, full backrest will make it easier to adopt a comfortable position.

How do you combine a desk with a dressing table?

It only takes a few steps to transform your desk into a practical dressing table. Where to start? The best way is to plan the space. Consider what items are important to you and how you want to arrange them.

The essential accessory is, of course, the mirror. Even the best-designed dressing table won't serve its purpose if we can't look at ourselves while applying our make-up. When placing a piece of furniture, let's think about hanging a mirror on the free wall, which will match the shape and size of the desk. The Simple mirror with integrated LED lighting (also available in a round, theatrical version) or the OMM mirror with swivelling sides will work great.

Alternatively, we can go for off-the-shelf solutions and choose the Nature dressing table with built-in mirror and liftable top for your room. You can freely use the mirror while you are grooming, and when you are working, you can fold down the top and enjoy a wide working space. The Reli dressing table is also a solution for the comfortable. The collection includes an extension with a tiltable mirror and additional shelves for easy storage.

When you want to create a desk dressing table, good lighting is also key - essential for both working and applying make-up. If you don't want to buy a mirror with backlighting, choose a desk lamp with adjustable light intensity or install wall lamps on both sides of the mirror. This will give you even illumination, which will prove invaluable especially in the evening or on a cloudy day.

How to make a dressing table out of a small desk?

The key to everyday convenience is good organisation. Even the smallest bit of chaos can disrupt the aesthetics of the entire room, so when making a dressing table out of a small desk, consider buying practical bins and pedestals to act as handy cupboards. Additional items can be organised on hanging shelves - placed on the wall, they will not take up valuable space on a small tabletop.

At the same time, a small space does not have to exclude a personal touch. Plants, photos or scented candles will make the dressing table desk not only functional, but also aesthetically pleasing in relation to the rest of the room and our tastes.
