Which dressing table chair to choose? practical guide

Today, everyone can afford a little luxury and create a comfortable corner in their own home with a dressing table for make-up and beauty rituals. However, daily self-care requires the right solutions. A well-fitted seat will make a quick morning make-up a moment of pleasure.

Even in a small room, you can create a corner with a dressing table and a comfortable seat. The best place will be a space close to a window, where natural light will make daily make-up and grooming easier. In larger interiors, a dressing table with a chair or armchair will also work well in the corner of the room, creating a cosy corner for relaxation. Ultimately, however, it is all up to us - we decide where we feel most comfortable and how we want to arrange our space.

FITTING A DRESSING TABLE CHAIR - WHAT TO LOOK FOR?

Which dressing table chair to choose? Before settling on a particular model, let's consider what role it should play. Should it be a lightweight, mobile piece of furniture that can be easily tucked under a tabletop, or should it be a comfortable seat conducive to longer moments to yourself? Here are the most important features to look out for:

• Seat height - matching the height of the seat to the tabletop is one of the most important factors for comfort. It is important to leave enough legroom under the dressing table - ideally 20-25 cm, which allows for comfortable use even during longer grooming rituals.

• Backrest - a well-chosen one provides comfort and supports the correct posture of the body. When choosing it, it is worth taking into account its height - ideally it should reach at least halfway up the back, which allows you to comfortably rest your torso while sitting. In the case of taller armchairs or upholstered chairs, the backrest can be full, slightly profiled, which further increases comfort and gives a feeling of cosiness.

• Material of construction - wooden chairs are sturdy and timeless, plus they are easy to keep clean. Upholstered models provide greater comfort, but require regular maintenance. Metal models work well in modern arrangements and are lightweight, making them easy to move around.

• Colour and style - the furniture should harmonise with the interior design and the character of the dressing table itself. Light colours are a great choice, as they optically enlarge the space and bring in more light. Darker colours, on the other hand, add elegance and clarity. Minimalist models suit modern interiors, upholstered poufs bring cosiness and a feminine touch, and classic wooden chairs emphasise the timeless character of the arrangement.

• Mobility - if you plan to move the seat frequently or use it in different parts of the room, it is worth opting for a model that is lightweight and easy to move. Wheeled chairs, compact poufs or swivel seats are perfect.

WHICH SEAT FOR THE DRESSING TABLE - A CHAIR, A POUFFE OR MAYBE AN ARMCHAIR?

There are different types of seating you can rely on at your dressing table - from a lightweight pouffe to a classic chair to a comfortable armchair. Each offers something different. It's worth exploring all the options to find the perfect seat to suit your needs and interior style.

UPHOLSTERED DRESSING TABLE CHAIR - ELEGANT COMFORT

Upholstered chairs are a combination of comfort and style. The soft upholstery provides comfort even when sitting for long periods, and the wide range of fabrics allows you to match the furniture to the character of your interior. Many chairs, such as Archi, are upholstered in easy-clean fabric, making them easy to keep clean. The Tean model, without armrests, can be easily slipped under a dressing table to save space.

DRESSING TABLE ARMCHAIRS - IDEAL FOR RELAXATION AND DAILY GROOMING

A dressing tablearmchair is a solution that focuses on comfort. Thanks to the wide seat and stable backrest, we can spend even longer periods of time comfortably at the tabletop. If you choose an armchair with a slightly lower backrest, such as Alma or Zouk, you will have additional freedom of movement, so that you can easily reach all the cosmetics you need. However, it is important to remember that it takes up more space than a chair or pouffe, which is why it works best in larger bedrooms or dressing rooms.

DRESSING TABLE POUFS - COMPACT AND COMFORTABLE!

The poufs are the perfect solution for small rooms - they take up little space and can be slid completely under the dressing table top. The Doppio pouffe has a double-sided lid, so it can function as both a table and a pouf for sitting down. And if you don't care for soft filling, a simple stool such as the Simple stool will work well in a similar role.
