Men have their dark leather and wood man caves complete with gargantuan flat screen TVs, so it only makes sense that those of the fairer sex get their own space too! Enter the dressing room.
When I think of a dressing room, I have visions of Daisy Buchanan laying languorously on a chaise, enjoying a dressing drink while deciding what beautiful dress to wear as her dinner guests wait impatiently downstairs.
Luckily, dressing rooms aren't reserved for Hemingway's heroines. It only takes a few pieces to create a beautifyl dressing room of your own.
If you don't have a whole room to dedicate to a dream room like this, you can incorporate some of the elements into your bedroom, like a small vanity and a stylish chair with some feminine flair, or a luxurious bench at the end of the bed.
A great place to start designing your dressing room is by choosing a stylish chaise, like the Patterson Chaise Lounge in taupe. Not only is it a great place to relax and take stock of your day, it also is the perfect spot to lay out your outfit for the next day.
Add some texture or pattern to the design with a luxe decorative pillow. This Gold Velvet Pillow is perfect for this soothing, neutral design scheme.
Add a chic side table like the Spike Antique Brass Accent Table near the chaise as a place to rest the aforementioned dressing drink, or to display some flowers. If fresh flowers aren't in your budget, beautiful faux florals are a good option.
Next up? A vanity table. You can use a desk or stylish console table as a vanity, just make sure the depth of the console isn't too shallow. The Daenillia Console Table has three drawers, perfect for holding your makeup when not in use.
You need a place to perch while you primp and a fabulous dining chair or stool is perfect for the job. I love the playful nature of the Zelda Stool.
Let's not forget to include fab decorative wall mirrors! The Devoll Classical Gold Wall Mirror is perfect for over a vanity. Add in a tall mirror so you can see yourself in all your sartorial glory.
Light up the space with a glamorous crystal table lamp like the Spindle Mercury Glass Table Lamp from the Crestview Collection. Make sure the lamp is tall enough to properly light your face from the side while grooming.
And last, but certainly not least, add an eye-catching crystal chandelier to bring in even more sparkle to the space. The design of this Chrome and Crystal Chandelier is delicate and elegant, perfect for a ladylike dressing room.
Style the space with some home accessories to add more personal flair to the space so you can truly call it your own.
