Shop Dressing Tables by Style, Size & Features
Finding the right dressing table is easier when you know how much space you have, how much storage you need and whether a mirror or LED lighting matters for your daily routine. This guide will help you choose a practical setup for your bedroom, makeup corner or getting-ready area.
Styles: Modern, Classic, Scandi and Glam
-
Modern dressing tables: Choose straight lines, neat handles and simple finishes if you want a clean bedroom look. Modern designs work well with other bedroom furniture, especially if your room already has a simple bed frame, bedside table and storage pieces.
-
Classic dressing tables: Framed fronts, soft curves and warm timber-look finishes suit bedrooms with a more traditional feel. These pair nicely with matching bedside tables or a coordinated chest of drawers.
-
Scandi dressing tables: Light timber-look finishes, tapered legs and matte surfaces suit smaller dressing areas. This style is a good option if you want your bedroom to feel calm, light and uncluttered.
-
Glam dressing tables: High-gloss finishes, white surfaces, mirror details and crystal-style knobs work well if you want a makeup vanity with a more polished look.
Widths: Under 80 cm, 80–110 cm and 120 cm+
-
Under 80 cm: A slim dressing table is best for apartments, small bedrooms or tight corners. Choose this size if you only need space for daily skincare, a few makeup products and a small mirror.
-
80–110 cm: This is the most practical size for many bedrooms. It gives enough room for a mirror, everyday essentials and a few organisers without making the room feel crowded.
-
120 cm+: A wider dressing table suits larger bedrooms, shared setups or anyone with a full makeup and haircare routine. It also gives more surface area for styling trays, lamps and organisers.
Storage: 2–3 Drawers, 4–6 Drawers or 7+ Drawers
-
2–3 drawers: Best for simple daily items such as skincare, hairbrushes, small palettes and jewellery.
-
4–6 drawers: A good middle option for makeup, brushes, heat tools and hair accessories.
-
7+ drawers: Better for larger collections. If you need deeper sections for hair tools or bulkier items, compare dressing tables with drawers carefully before choosing.
- If bedroom storage is your main problem, pair your dressing table with a chest of drawers so makeup, clothing and accessories each have their own place.
Mirrors & Lighting: Fixed, Tri-Fold, Detachable or LED
-
Fixed mirror: A simple option for everyday use. It keeps the setup tidy and easy to style.
-
Tri-fold mirror: Useful for makeup application and hair checks because the side panels give extra viewing angles.
-
Detachable mirror: A flexible choice if you may want to wall-mount the mirror later or use the table as a small desk.
-
LED mirror: A dressing table with mirror and LED lighting is useful in rooms with poor natural light. It helps create more even lighting for makeup, skincare and getting ready at night.
If you already have a table and only need a separate mirror, browse dressing mirrors to complete your setup.
Finishes: Matte, High-Gloss, Timber-Look and Glass Top
-
Matte: Low glare and easy on the eyes.
-
High-gloss / glass top: Quick to clean and stylish for a makeup table.
-
Timber-look: Adds warmth and hides minor marks.
How to Choose the Right Dressing Table
Measure Your Space First
Measure your wall span and allow 60–80 cm in front for a stool. Check for a power point and position your dressing table to avoid direct glare from windows.
Match Storage to Your Routine
-
Make-up focused: Shallow trays and a dressing table with storage for palettes.
-
Hair tools: One deep drawer with a heat-safe caddy.
-
Skincare heavy: Easy-wipe top and a mid-width vanity table for bottles.
Choose the Right Light and Mirror
Low-light rooms benefit from an LED dressing table with mirror. Bright rooms suit tri-fold mirrors angled away from direct sunlight.
Keep the Room Cohesive
Match handles and finishes with your bed frame, dresser, and bedside tables. A white dressing table softens small rooms, while darker finishes ground larger spaces.
Small-Space Dressing Table Setups
Narrow Designs & Tuck-Away Seating
Choose a slim dressing table (≤80 cm) with a low-back stool that tucks in neatly. Wall-mount the mirror and keep the top clear for a light, open feel.
Smart Add-ons for Small Rooms
- Use a floating shelf for perfume, décor or greenery.
- Add a cable tidy for hair tools and lamps.
- Use stackable organisers inside shallow drawers.
- Choose a compact vanity table for alcoves or unused corners.

Materials, Build & Care
What to Look For
- Quality board with sealed edges.
- Full-extension runners for easy reach.
- Stable legs with level adjusters.

Care Tips

FAQs
Where should I place a dressing table in the bedroom?
Place your dressing table near natural light where possible, but avoid harsh direct glare. Leave around 60–80 cm in front for a stool and keep a power point nearby if you use hair tools, lighting or a lamp.
Which dressing table is best to buy?
The best dressing table depends on your space and routine. Choose under 80 cm for small rooms, 80–110 cm for most bedrooms and 120 cm+ for larger setups. If you use makeup daily, look for drawers, a clear mirror and good lighting.
Where can I buy a dressing table with a mirror?
You can shop dressing tables with fixed mirrors, detachable mirrors and LED mirror sets at Levede. Check each product card to confirm whether the mirror, stool and lighting are included.
Is delivery available Australia-wide?
Levede delivers to many metro and regional areas across Australia. Final delivery options, costs and timeframes are shown at checkout based on your location and selected item.
How do I style a makeup vanity?
Keep the surface clear with trays, add a lamp or LED mirror for better lighting and use shallow organisers inside drawers. Store everyday items close by and keep occasional-use products in deeper drawers.
How do I assemble a dressing table?
Lay all parts on a soft surface, follow the manual step by step, tighten screws evenly and level the feet if needed. For larger dressing tables or mirror sets, two people can make assembly easier and safer.
Which size suits a small room or apartment?
A dressing table under 80 cm wide is usually best for small rooms or apartments. Choose 2–4 drawers and a stool that tucks fully underneath to save floor space.
Is a dressing table different from a dresser or desk?
Yes. A dressing table usually has knee space and a mirror for getting ready. A dresser is mainly used for clothing storage, while a desk is designed for working or studying.
Can I get a dressing table with a stool and storage?
Yes. Many Levede dressing table sets include a stool and drawer storage. Check each product’s “set includes” details before buying.
What’s the best colour for small or dark rooms?
White or light timber-look finishes usually work best in small or darker rooms because they help the space feel brighter. LED lighting or a mirror can also improve visibility.
