Drawers Included Dressing Tables

Choosing the right dressing table with drawers for your bedroom

A dressing table with drawers lets you keep your daily skincare, makeup, and accessories organised in one place rather than scattered across surfaces, which makes your morning routine more efficient. When you are selecting your vanity desk with drawers, think about how many items you need to store: a three-drawer design suits a minimal collection, while a five to seven-drawer option suits someone with a larger makeup and jewellery setup.

Getting dressing table with drawers sizing right

Most freestanding dressing tables sit between 120cm and 140cm wide and 40cm to 50cm deep, which fits comfortably against a standard bedroom wall without projecting too far into the room. Your seated eye level should align roughly with the centre of the mirror, so if you are between 160cm and 175cm tall, look for a table height between 70cm and 76cm combined with a mirror that starts at least 20cm above the surface.

How to style a makeup vanity with drawers in a small bedroom

In a smaller bedroom, positioning your makeup vanity with drawers in an alcove or recessed wall section keeps it from blocking natural light or traffic flow through the room. You can also use the top surface as a secondary display area by adding a small tray to corral perfumes and frequently used items, which keeps the rest of the surface clear and makes the space feel more considered.

Layer with a rattan bedside table for a warm, textured pairing that works well with both timber and painted dressing table finishes.

Frequently asked questions

What drawer configuration works best for a makeup vanity?

For a dedicated makeup vanity, a combination of shallow drawers (around 5cm to 8cm deep) for palettes and lip products and deeper drawers (12cm to 15cm) for brushes and bulkier items works well. At least one shallow drawer with dividers is useful for keeping small items from sliding around.

Do dressing tables with drawers come with a mirror included?

Some dressing tables in our range include a matching mirror, while others are sold as a table only. Always check the product listing to confirm whether a mirror is included, and if not, a wall-mounted mirror between 60cm and 80cm wide is a proportionate fit for most standard dressing tables.

What is a good width for a dressing table with drawers?

A dressing table between 90cm and 120cm wide gives you enough surface area to lay out products while getting ready without taking up excessive wall space. If your bedroom wall is shorter than 3m, a 90cm table is a more practical choice to leave room for other furniture.

Can a dressing table with drawers double as a desk?

Yes, many dressing tables are structurally similar to writing desks and can serve dual purposes. Look for a model with a flat top surface at 72cm to 76cm height and a knee clearance of at least 65cm underneath to ensure comfortable seated working posture.

What materials are most common for dressing tables with drawers?

MDF with a painted or lacquered finish is the most common material in this category because it provides a smooth, consistent surface and is less likely to expand or contract with humidity changes than solid timber. Solid pine and rubberwood options are also available and offer a warmer, more natural look.
