I'm after inspiration for my dressing tad and make up organising. I'm currently trying on an old kitchen table in the spare bedroom, small mirror, back lit by spotlights and make up stored in a toiletries bag! Would love to see your dressing tables for inspiration please!

Why don’t you take a photograph yourself?

Lookingformymarbles · 07/10/2022 11:15

What do you mean by your comment @Cam22? Op is asking for inspiration

I don't have a dressing table-(just a tall chest of drawers with a mirror so stand there) otherwise I'd gladly post a pic!

Oh Lord mine is a mess!

Not sure if I should laugh or cry - mine is currently invisible under a pile of clothes, some clean, some not so much.

Of your current setup.

Threads asking for photos of other people’s homes, without providing one yourself, irritate me.

Mine looks exactly like it did when we bought it apart from having a slate with my hair straighteners on. All my hair product are in the drawers. I don't entertain clutter in my bedroom. My makeup and face/body products all live tidied away in the bathroom. @PeloFondo's set up is my idea of a nightmare but I think that says more about me than it does about her!

ErrolTheDragon · 07/10/2022 12:45

I don't have one. I've got a small basket plus a makeup bag, and a largish shaving mirror on the top shelf of my bedroom bookcase in front of a row of books. A hairbrush and comb on a lower shelf, ditto a few perfume bottles, small jewellery box etc with other necklaces hung from a tie rack on the side of the bookcase.

There's another hairbrush and comb and things like makeup remover in one of the baskets on a shelf in the bathroom.

Grin I'm a a total makeup addict. Weirdly clutter elsewhere bugs me, and the rest of the bedroom is peaceful but makeup..

I've been toying with putting a similar post, asking what I should do with all this space in the new house, so here goes some empty space!!!

Looking at Pelo's picture, it's going to stay empty, as I just don't have that sort of stuff.

Suggestions to home-ify this corner?

Got mine for 25 quid from a charity shop and painted it and bought new handles, i've attached before and after pics. Plus the one i had before that i had off ebay for 1p and also painted that but the mirror was too small so i splashed out on the new (old) one 😂

@EmptyDressingTable you could do
Posh hardback book, candle, plant, any ornaments you have, photos, tealight holders,, perfume...

Wagsandclaws · 07/10/2022 17:41

It's a bit of a mess but I keep my makeup on top and in some little drawers in my dressing room.

My actual dressing table is full of perfume and jewellery. (And a bit of a cluttered mess )

I love that! Just dress it up with pretty things! We have the same wallpaper 😁

EmptyDressingTable · 07/10/2022 17:58

Yea, I'm not very good at pretty!
And as for Pelo's list:
Posh hardback book - in the bookcase
candle - don't have
plant - I'm doing this. Shopping trip coming on.
any ornaments you have - every ornament I own is already on those shelves 😁
photos - hmm, maybe.
tealight holders - none
perfume - none

My makeup gets used maybe once a year, so is tucked away.
Jewelry fits in one envelope sized case.

I don't do "stuff" - and I didn't choose the wallpaper! I'm just not very good at this stuff!!!!

PeloFondo · 07/10/2022 18:06

@EmptyDressingTable I would raid homesense then! Dunelm often has nice stuff in too

This is my side table in my living room which is all from TK maxx/homesense
