4. The Lighting Great lighting is an integral part of a successful dressing space. Honest but flattering illumination is the ideal. Before even considering which type of lighting to go for, make sure you take advantage of the natural light in your space by placing your dressing table near a window or French doors, if possible. Avoid harsh light from above and below as this causes shadows that can affect makeup application. Wall sconces will cast desirable, evenly spread light – an effect which can also be achieved by placing table lamps at either end of your vanity unit.
5. The Finishing Touches An exquisite selection of accessories is the best way to give your dressing table an upgrade. Jewellery boxes, ring catchers, cosmetics jars and perfume bottles make charming and functional additions, enabling you to have all your trinkets and products to hand. Candles, photo frames and a stunning vase filled with your favourite flowers add a personal touch. Don’t forget it’s not just the choice of accessories that’s important but how you present them. Use objects of varying heights and textures to create an aesthetically satisfying display and look to gorgeous trays to keep smaller accents in a tidy arrangement.
