Your Personal Space
A dressing table is where the day starts and ends - where you get ready for occasions and take a moment for yourself. When drawers stick and the mirror wobbles, that personal space becomes a daily frustration.
💡 The key to a good dressing table? Mirror secure, drawers smooth, surface level. I check all three before leaving.

🔧 DIY Tips
Building it yourself? Here's what matters:
🔧 Tools you'll need
- Phillips screwdriver
- Allen keys (usually supplied)
- Spirit level
- Rubber mallet
📐 Key steps
- Build main table frame first
- Check table is level before adding mirror
- Install drawers and align before tightening
- Fit mirror last - easier to work without it
- Assemble stool separately, check height
⚠️ Common mistakes
- Adding mirror before table is stable
- Drawer runners at different heights
- Over-tightening cam locks
- Not checking mirror angle from seated position
💡 Pro trick: Position the table before fitting the mirror - check the lighting is good from where you'll sit. Natural light from the side is best for makeup. Once you're happy with the position, then fit the mirror.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
💄 Think about your routine - Where's the best light? Where will you naturally want to sit? Position for how you'll actually use it.
Lighting tips:
- Natural light best for makeup
- Avoid overhead-only lighting (shadows)
- LED mirror lights help
- Warm vs cool light affects colour
Daily use:
- Keep frequently-used items in top drawers
- Don't overload drawers
- Clean mirror regularly
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you fit the mirror too?
Yes - most mirrors either attach to the back or need wall mounting. I'll fit whichever type yours is and ensure it's secure at the right angle.
My dressing table drawers stick - can you fix it?
Usually. Sticky drawers are normally misaligned runners or overtightened screws. A quick adjustment sorts most cases.
Do dressing tables need wall anchoring?
Not usually - they're low and stable. The exception is if young children might climb it, or the mirror makes it top-heavy.
Can you add lighting?
If your table has built-in lighting, I'll connect it. For adding lights to tables without them, LED strip lights are popular options.
