Console Table as Dressing Table

Console Table as Dressing Table: A Dual-Purpose Design Trend

One of the most versatile interior styling moves of the decade? Repurposing a console table as a dressing table. This smart solution blends function and elegance, ideal for those with limited space or a love for minimal, multipurpose furniture. Whether you're styling a classic bedroom or a modern hallway, this setup adds instant polish and practicality.

Why Choose a Console Table?

Traditionally slim and sophisticated, console tables lend themselves beautifully to dressing table functionality. Their compact size suits small bedrooms, apartments, or luxurious small living rooms where space is at a premium. Plus, with the right styling and accessories, they transform into a statement piece.

How to Style Your Console Table as a Dressing Table

1. Add a Large Mirror
   Opt for a luxury wall mirror, such as a Uttermost round mirror or a tall black framed mirror to create height and drama. A mirror instantly defines the area as a vanity station.

2. Layer in Lighting
   Use a blue floral table lamp, pearl chandelier, or Hudson Valley lighting pendants for soft, flattering light that suits makeup application or morning prep routines.

3. Incorporate Storage Trays and Boxes
   Keep things tidy with elegant storage trunks, shagreen boxes, or designer trays that hold your beauty essentials and jewellery while complementing the decor.

4. Seating Matters
   Pair your table with a luxury boucle chair, leopard print chair, or velvet stool for both comfort and glamour. Consider something upholstered in burnt orange or beige for a warm, rich look.

Best Console Tables for the Look

When selecting a console table, go for something with clean lines and upscale finishes. Consider:

• A brass console table for Art Deco appeal

• A shagreen console table for texture and elegance

• A black metal console table for a bold monochrome interior

• A coastal style console table to suit relaxed, Scandi-inspired schemes

Where to Place It

• Bedroom Corners: Turn an underused nook into a glamorous vanity zone.

• Hallway Dressing Spots: Ideal for last-minute touch-ups and a dash of scent before heading out.

• Walk-In Wardrobes: A low-profile console works beautifully in compact dressing spaces.

Elevate the Space with Accessories

Don’t forget to finish the look with art for house walls, monochrome lamps, japandi vases, or a big gold vase for sculptural beauty. For added luxury, place a jute ottoman or quilted bedspread nearby for cohesion.
