Wooden dressing table
One of the most popular options for Indian home décor is a wooden dressing table. The carved teak wood style brings grace and grandeur to your room. No wonder it is one of the expensive options. As this is made in real wood, it asks for standard maintenance such as re-polish every 3 to 4 years.

Wood dressing tables are an excellent gifting item. They bring the delightful experience of opulence and luxury right into your everyday life at home.
Dressing table with mirror
Most of the dressing tables come with an attached mirror. A dressing table without a mirror will only make you go for another shopping spree to purchase a mirror that fits on your table. I recommend you buy the complete dressing table set. With a table, a mirror, and if space allows, then a seat too.
Now, there is another furniture style from recent times that you must see. It is also a dressing table with a mirror and no wood at all. Yes, you heard it right. I am talking about the dressing table finished with Venetian Mirrorwork. This style is made from MDF or fibreboard as a base. The fibreboard is then beautifully decorated with handcrafted mirrors of delicate designs. Sounds amazing right? Take a look yourself
The significant part about this style is the bold chic look with the most exceptional craftsmanship. The not so substantial part is the MDF board; it cannot withstand heavyweight or moisture.

Let’s face the truth, dressing tables are big furniture pieces, and their presence is vast. The full-size dressing furniture can’t fit in a compact size bedroom; it requires a proper room for itself. No worries, we can adjust the entire dressing into a cupboard. This way, you decorate your room as you like and convert it into a dressing room just by opening the cupboard shutters. There you go, we saved your room space, your dressing area and your décor too.
Dressing table with lights
As always, be a fashionista – even when selecting your dressing table design. Get a Dressing table with lights that are bright and shiny. It is a great help to perfect your make up and take care of the little nuances and details when you get ready. For this style, I cannot think of any negative point, except one. The yellow dressing lights can throw a lot of heat towards your face, so make sure to take an LED bulb in warm white shade.
Kids dressing table
Does your little angel like to dress up – get a mini dressing table for them or expand your dressing table to serve them too. A full-height mirror with storage on the side is a great way to make your dressing table design child-friendly.
Dressing table Price
Price of dressing table depends upon a couple of things like the material of the dressing table, the size of the mirror and features such as a stool seat and storage area like shelves or hanging hooks.
A good quality dressing table ranges between ₹3000 to ₹60000 – and that is an extensive line of furniture styles. So yes, when looking to buy a dressing table, it is essential to decide on a budget first. Here is a quick summary of the dressing table price as per material and features. Now it is rather challenging to put an exact number to the furniture piece due to the quality of work and size variations, but this will give you a fair idea.

How to Select
How to choose a dressing table for your home?
- Choose a spot
Decide the location of the dressing table in your room or dresser area. Make sure there is enough floor area left after the furniture is placed. For comfortable use, the area should be at least 4 to 5 feet wide, 2 feet for the dresser unit and remaining for you to sit.
- Measure the length
Using a tape, measure the wall length on which the dressing table will rest. This length should be clear of any openings or fittings such as doors, windows, switches, television.
- Find maximum size
With the measured length and width, think about the maximum size of the furniture that can fit in the space. Make sure the maximum size is two inches smaller than the measured area.
- Think about your needs
Now that you have the maximum space available for your dressing table unit, think about how much of it do you need to cover. Make a list of the items you want to store in the group, and if you need desk area or not.

Consider using the available dressing units designs of wall-mounted, classical style with face mirror and seat, the full height mirror with vertical shelves, half-height mirror with low table and chair, or inside the cupboard type. Choose one of the designs you most prefer.
