Boudoir: where women's secrets are kept
An integral part of the female bedroom is a dressing table with a mirror. In the old days they were intended mainly for washing. Now, in many drawers of such a piece of furniture, small female tricks are stored - a means to improve the female image.
A modern dressing table is designed for applying makeup, styling hair and various face skin care procedures. In order for all these procedures to be carried out most efficiently, the table should have a number of characteristics.
Location, shape and content
A table in the boudoir should perform both an aesthetic function and a practical one. Among the selection criteria for such furniture, you should start with the form. Three main types can be distinguished here:
- classical;
- trellis;
- dressing table.
The first variety is a simple table on which a mirror is mounted. Additionally, these tables are equipped with drawers and cabinets for storing everything you need. Trellis differs from other species in the presence of three mirrors. One of them is securely fixed, the other two hang on hinges and remain mobile. By installing them at a suitable angle, you can examine yourself from all sides. The dressing table is equipped with a large full-length mirror. The table itself can be of any size. In addition, there are modifications with a folding mirror that will conveniently and compactly take their place in small rooms.
It is absolutely not necessary that this piece of furniture be from the same set with the rest of the furniture. If the set you like in the store does not contain a boudoir table, then you can pick it up separately. The main thing is that he fit the style and harmonize with the general atmosphere of the bedroom.
An important part of the dressing table are drawers. Such storage systems are great for laying out small things that are inconvenient to keep on the table. By distributing cosmetics among the drawers, you can save space on the table for a vase with flowers, photos, beautiful perfume bottles and other decorative items.
Materials for the manufacture of dressing tables can be:
- wood;
- glass;
- plastic;
- metal and others.

- fittings.
In addition, white porcelain figurines will add to the female corner of tenderness and airiness. A complement may be chairs made of transparent plastic, decorated with silk fabric or ostrich feather boas. An ordinary chair can also be adapted by stitching for it an elegant cover in a suitable color. It is good if such a cover is made of the same fabric as the curtains, bedspreads or bedside banquets.
The dressing table does not have to repeat the color and shape of the rest of the furniture. If he has any special qualities, then he even needs to be highlighted. In the white bedroom, the dark element will attract attention. Highlighting this piece of furniture, you can zoning space.
Usually a bedroom is chosen as the location. But you can experiment using a hall or dressing room for this, where there is enough lighting. It is convenient to place personal items in the bathroom. But to install a dressing table here, you will need a lot of space that standard bathrooms do not have.
Zoning space, marking a place for personal care, can be using two types of wallpaper. The path one of them will be monophonic, and the other with a large pattern. One of them can be glued over the entire room, leaving the second for the boudoir table area. In addition, it is convenient to use different floor coverings. It is enough to cover a place under the table with a fluffy rug and the beauty zone will be isolated. The ideal delimiter will be a screen. It will help to hide the mysteries of creating the perfect image away from prying eyes.
Boudoir table lighting
The most important factor in the functionality of a dressing table is its lighting. The best place to place such a piece of furniture is a space closer to the window. Natural lighting will allow you to best see the imperfections of the image and mask them.
If there is no place near the window, then special attention should be paid to lighting devices located in close proximity. Light sources should evenly illuminate the face, not allowing surrounding objects cast a shadow on it. The best option would be to place small yellow halogen bulbs around the mirror. White lighting is not recommended, as it makes the skin color unnatural and will entail the creation of unsuccessful images.
You can also use two sconces on the sides of the mirror or one large lamp on top. It is important that the light does not hit the eyes. Avoid this will help spotlights, which can be adjusted as needed.
Mirror Selection
For a dressing table, it is important to choose the right mirror. Many factors depend on its properties. For example, the absence of a full-length mirror in the house will require the purchase of a trellis - a boudoir table equipped with a large mirror. You can create this design yourself by combining a bedside table with a wall mirror.
It is believed that a dream in front of a mirror has negative consequences in terms of energy. You can avoid this situation using a folding mirror. Usually, it is removed to the table, thereby forming a flat surface that can be used for a variety of purposes.
The mirror on the stand will also help solve many problems. With it, any convenient bedside table can turn into an exquisite boudoir table. It is easier to choose a mirror for the interior than to choose a solid boudoir table. Therefore, the use of one of the bedside tables from the sleeping set and the mirror in a beautiful frame will be a suitable design solution.
The main thing when choosing such furniture in the interior is the maximum preservation of its functionality with the overall balance of the visual effect.
