A pretty dressing table makes getting ready a more luxurious experience. As these examples prove, a dedicated primping space doesn’t need to take up a ton of space: designers are clever enough to carve them out between vanities, under the eaves, in walk-in closets, and even showers. These indulgent ideas from Emily Griffin, Sarah Richardson and Brian Gluckstein are practical as well as pampering. Scroll down!
The makeup station in this renovated bedroom by designer Emily Griffin, makes it fun to get ready for a night out. Emily splurged on a three-way custom mirror with integrated lighting that follows the roofline. Photographer: Donna Griffith Designer: Griffin Houghton
Designer Sarah Richardson carved out a spot between the two bathroom vanities in her country home. Light lavender walls and a pretty painted chair that tucks under the counter enhances the fresh, garden-like vibe. Photographer: Stacey Brandford Designer: Sarah Richardson
In this dressing room, designer Rhiannon Hageman backed the niche in Sanderson floral, with a mirror that tilts to accommodate different heights. “Sanderson always does beautiful botanicals,” says Rhiannon. “The space needed some color; it was way too white for me.” Photographer: Will Reid Designer: Rhiannon Hageman/architecture by John Willmott Architect
Everyone knows natural light is the best for applying makeup, so this showhome’s petite primping station is set in front of a window for maximum clarity. The nook is a natural spot for a tropical plant, and extends the counter so there’s plenty of room for a couple to share the space. Photographer: Michael Graydon Designer: Brian Gluckstein
In Lynda Reeves former city home, a petite dressing table has a graceful oval shape that enhances flow. Lynda waited over 10 years to renovate her principal bathroom, and the effort was worth it. “Finally, I have a dressing table in my bathroom! Across from the shower, mirrored closet doors hide suitcase storage. I installed marble on the door surrounds to match the shower,” Lynda recalls. Photographer: Alex Lukey Designer: Lynda Reeves
In this Princess Margaret Showhome, Brian Gluckstein put the marble table inside the shower, so it can be used as a shaving station (the steam makes it easier for a close shave). He likes it so much, Brian now wants one in his own bathroom. Photographer: Angus Fergusson Designer: Brian Gluckstein
