Make the most of yourself withthese lovely dressing table ideas.

- Lauren Delargy And Candice Botha

1. Bring the outdoors in

This patio chair makes a contrast to the sleek, modern dressing table. The look is not too feminine, with foliage instead of flowers and minimal clutter on the tabletop. There’s lots of storage space in the drawers, which is perfect for keeping cosmetics organised. Decor by Lindley & Co.

2. Go girly and glam

A French-style table, velvet-buttoned ottoman and classic mirror all make for a gorgeous make-up space, like this one by Bronwen Barnes Interiors. Keep the tabletop clutter to a minimum and add a vase of fresh flowers to complete the look.

3. Mix and match textures

A natural wood dressing table gets a modern update with a transparent ghost chair. Bring in some shine with a silver-framed mirror, just as homeowner Sally Ives of the Silk and Cotton Co. did here.
