Not Your Grandma's Dressing Table

Dressing tables, or vanity tables, were once a necessity in a woman’s bedroom. Somewhere along the way, Americans fell away from this trend and began keeping their cosmetics and perfumes in the bath or powder rooms. But over the years, the dressing table has made a few comebacks. Today, you can find some beautiful and modern-as-they-come dressing tables to beautify your space! They’re practical, can be used to display your favorite pieces, and add a touch of sophistication that is truly timeless. Here are some of our favorite modern-day dressing tables!

"Innovation is often the ability to reach into the past and bring back what is good, what is beautiful, what is useful, what is lasting." - Sister Parish

Styling Essentials for a Modern Dressing Table

 
 

It’s important to dress your dressing table just as you would any other surface. A tray is the perfect place to keep your makeup brushes, lotions, and other catch-alls. Having a small box or dish to store loose jewelry and trinkets is a smart option. Don’t forget to add some color with a vase full of luscious flowers! Here are some beautiful and functional accessories we’re crushing on right now.
