Organising your dressing table

While we have seen dressing tables in all shapes and sizes, what is important in each design is a fair amount of storage to keep all the accessories within reach. Here’s how you can organise your dressing table.

• Invest in good lighting: Getting ready becomes easier with good lighting. A good amount of lighting in or around your dressing table, depending on the design of the dressing table, is a good idea.
• Ample plug points: Styling can require a number of accessories, some of which may be powered by electricity. To ease the use of these accessories, ensure that there are enough plug points available near your dressing table.
• Make partitions: Independent shelf space for each category of items like cosmetics, accessories, jewellery, and hair brushes make access easy and convenient. Make a separate space for items of everyday use.
• Keep your dressing table surface clean: Make-up stains, loose pins, and scattered bottle caps can spoil the top of the dressing table. Always keep a mat ready, and don’t forget to cap the perfumes and lotions. Alternatively, you can mount a glass slab on the surface of the dressing table that can be wiped clean in case of spills.
