Most of our bedrooms also make space for a wardrobe, leaving little to no space for a separate dressing table. If you have a similar situation and would like to have a dressing space in your room, how about incorporating it into your wardrobe itself? This works both for master bedrooms and dedicated closet spaces too. We put together top ten wardrobe designs with dressing table ideas to get you started.
Top 10 Wardrobe Designs With Dressing Table Ideas For Your Bedroom
Mirrored Sliding Wardrobe Design with Dressing Table
A mirrored wardrobe should be on your radar especially if you have a space that's more compact than usual. Mirrored wardrobes create the illusion of a bigger space while simultaneously bouncing off light. This works even better if you have a window right opposite the wardrobe. You could have a corner dedicated to your dressing space, since there's no need for additional mirrors. Sliding doors would be the best design choice for these wardrobes.
Dressing Space By The Door
Having a dressing table by is a great idea since that space is usually not utilised, plus this gives you quicker access to your dressing space if you're entering the room. You can install a mirror on the wall with a small floating cabinet for your essentials. This leaves enough space for the rest of your wardrobe and you get to walk around freely.
Built-In Dressing Table
Most contractors will give you full freedom when it comes to designing your wardrobes. If you're in the planning stage of your interiors, how about installing a built-in cove to fit in your dressing table? It would go perfectly with the rest of your wardrobe while blending in and not taking up extra space. Get additional seating and place it under your vanity to complete the look.
Concealed Modern Wardrobe With Dressing Table
This works well if you have a ton of items on your vanity that you'd like to put away after you're done getting dressed. Consider getting a combination of a built-in wardrobe with a sliding wardrobe door. This way, you'll have a dedicated space to get ready while deftly concealing it when you're using your room otherwise. This is great if you share your bedroom as well, just get ample lighting around your dressing mirror to complete the design.
Corner Dressing Table
If your wardrobe is bursting at the seams and will continue to, make a space in the corner of your wardrobe to place your dressing space. Ensure you have ample natural light or install lamps for when you get dressed. This space could also double up as a study, all you have to do is store all your essentials in a little caddy, ready to go.
Focal Dressing Table
Most of us love taking one last look at ourselves before heading out. Make your dressing space the focal point of your walk-in closet with a floor to ceiling mirror, or a larger one with floating cabinets to go with it. This would give you an overall picture of what your outfit would look like as well.

All-White Dressing Space
An all-white wardrobe space keeps you calm, especially if you find loud colours and patterns over stimulating. You can add vintage-esque elements like an intricate wooden card seating chair and fresh blooms to add a dash of colour to your space. If you have a penchant for collecting pretty perfume bottles, they'd look quite stunning displayed in your all-white space too.
Space Saving Wardrobe with Dressing Table
Utilise every corner of your wardrobe especially if you have shared space within your bedroom. To make the most of your space, you could get angled doors at the corner of your wardrobe and install a mirror on the door as well.. Store your essentials in a shelf next to this space and you have yourself a nifty little corner to get dressed.
Portable Dressing Space
If the time when you dress up is therapeutic and peaceful for you, how about creating a dressing situation that reflects the same? Get a portable mirror that you can install anywhere in your house, especially by your wardrobe. Add in a rug or a floor pillow if you like taking your time to get dressed. This option works well for a rental, so you don't have to install a mirror on the wall or get a built-in wardrobe dressing table either.
Dual Mirror Dressing Space
If you share your closet with a partner or a sibling, how about getting a dual set up that two people can use at the same time? This works supremely well on busy mornings when you're rushing to get out of the house. To bring the two mirrors together, you could use a broad table that can be used as a common vanity.
