The Dutch company IKEA specializes in the production of all kinds of household goods, not least of which is furniture, including dressing tables. When purchasing furniture products from this brand, you should keep in mind that you will need to assemble such interior items yourself. All products are supplied with detailed instructions, as well as the necessary fasteners.
Among the large assortment of furniture products presented in the company’s catalogs, tables for the bedroom stand out, the choice and features of which we will talk about in this article.
Dressing table for the bedroom: if the bedroom is small
In this case, you should not take models with a mirror. Just a table, buy a mirror separately and hang it above the table itself. And on this table you need to leave only everything you need. Put everything else in the closet, chest of drawers, etc.
To decorate this area, a mini-boudoir, choose an original table lamp, and lay fluffy fabric or even real fur on the chair. Throw a string of mother-of-pearl beads across the mirror, paying tribute to vintage traditions.
Instead of bulky chairs, you can take poufs and stools. Transparent fashionable chairs made of plastic are also a good option for visually saving space. Poufs are convenient because they can be hidden under a table.
How to make the right purchase?
IKEA's concept is to offer the mass consumer comfortable furniture that can be assembled independently using the included instructions. In this regard, the assembly of any of the listed dressing tables is subject to even gentle female hands.
So, dressing tables from IKEA are:
- Safe: sharp edges are carefully processed, and the protective film on the glass will prevent injury from fragments;
- Functional: all designs have drawers under the tabletop, and some also have two small drawers on the table;
- The ability to choose the design and size of the table to suit the interior of any style and the dimensions of even a small room;
- Combinatorial: the ability to combine this piece of furniture in color and design with furniture of a different style and shades of wood;
- Easy care: just wipe the surface of the table with a soft cloth using detergent or cleaning agent, and then wipe it with a dry cloth.
The main differences between Swedish furniture
Be it the classic shape of MALM (we reviewed it here), the elegant and light BRIMNES, the romantic HEMNES and the elegant RANSBY - each design is made of safe materials, coated with varnishes with a dirt-repellent effect, which makes caring for it VERY simple.
The designers managed to achieve the ideal dimensions of each model, and the designers managed to achieve those external parameters that can easily fit into both a modern interior and an antique-style room.
But the most important advantage of furniture is convenience.
When everything is at hand, and the space under the countertops allows you to sit on an elegant chair or pouf in the most comfortable position, applying morning and evening makeup is so pleasant and comfortable.
All models are designed for different interiors and will satisfy the tastes of customers of different temperaments, be it a romantic young lady, a business woman or a housewife.
When purchasing a dressing table for the bedroom or a dressing table for the hallway, you have the opportunity to purchase related products: a chest of drawers, a bedside table with legs or on wheels, a chest of drawers in one piece of furniture.
Taking a look at the IKEA catalog, you will find that not all collections include a mirror. For example, the MALM dressing table is a lightweight design with side walls. Its advantage is in the spacious drawer under the tabletop, in which, in addition to jewelry and cosmetics, you can put a hair dryer, curling iron, massage brushes, manicure accessories, and handicrafts.
Your personal belongings will no longer be scattered in the bathroom or put away in the closet, but in one place, like in a travel bag.
Some even use it as a desk, the drawers of which are convenient for putting stationery.
As for the lack of a mirror, this is not a “minus”, but a “plus”. After all, you can choose any mirror: to suit your own taste and the interior of the room, table or wall, with or without lighting, a trellis with moving side elements.
You are your own designer and do not depend on the “opinion” of professionals, which is also important! And, by the way, such a table can be placed in a cozy hall and even in a spacious bathroom. And the tempered glass on the tabletop will “withstand” any contamination, even an accidental drop of nail polish or traces from a felt-tip pen with which a child decides to mark his presence in your room
In the sense that even “difficult” stains can easily be washed off from the acrylic paint covering the surface of the table.
Other IKEA models provide options for the dressing table to be equipped with a drawer with a mirror that pulls out from the top of the table. This design is very convenient, as it allows you to use the table both as a flat surface and as a dressing table.

Customer Reviews
Here are the reviews left by buyers of dressing tables at IKEA:
- Tatyana, 26 years old, Krasnodar: “We bought Hemnes. My husband assembled it himself, there’s nothing complicated about it. Large mirror, large third drawer. The table itself seems light. It is easy to clean, which turned out to be very appropriate: my daughter drew the legs with a felt-tip pen, and on white it looked simply terrible. You can wash it, but not in one go.”
- Marina, 34 years old, Voronezh: “I have a Brimans, white. The bedroom is small, there is no room for a chest of drawers and a table. So the table with the chest of drawers was just right for me. And there’s a place to put your laundry, and a place to store your cosmetics.”
- Olga, 28 years old, Yaroslavl: “It’s inconvenient without a dressing table: you can’t store all your cosmetics in the bathroom - it’s harmful, or in the refrigerator. And scattering it on the nightstands is absolutely disgraceful. So after moving, I immediately decided that there would be a table. We took Brimans without a chest of drawers, with secret drawers: it’s very compact and looks good.”
- Valentina, 34 years old, Makhachkala: “I immediately chose a table with a chest of drawers from the Brimans series. I have a huge amount of all kinds of jewelry and hiding it in boxes is simply inconvenient. And so everything is in one place.”

Expert advice
To correctly select and install a dressing table in the bedroom, many experts recommend not to forget about the following points:
- It is best to choose a product at an official point of sale, so that you have the opportunity to inspect and select the desired product in person;
- Despite not the largest selection of products of this type, sometimes buyers have difficulty selecting them. It is in this case that it makes sense to seek help from designers, decorators or brand consultants;
- Vanities are fairly easy to install, especially those designs that are not attached to the walls. However, it is best to use the services of specialists who will certainly install the furniture correctly and with high quality so that it will serve you for many years;
- When choosing a dressing table, do not forget that it should be an ideal complement to your interior, and not a complete contradiction to it. Ideal if you decide to purchase all the furniture for your bedroom from one collection;
- If the dimensions of the room are very modest and do not allow you to place full-fledged furniture, then wall-mounted dressing tables will suit you just right, because they are a great space saver.
Peculiarities
The Scandinavian brand offers furniture for a wide range of customers. The products are known for their functionality, beautiful and modern designs. You can purchase products in many major cities of Russia and the world. In our country, delivery can also be made to many localities.
Among all types of tables, you can easily identify the model from Ikea thanks to a number of features:
- laconic design. It is characteristic of the Scandinavian style. Swedes do not like complex lines, bulkiness and heaviness;
- For all its simplicity, the dressing table from Ikea can fit into any style. The choice of colors is small, but basic colors are the easiest to adapt to complex room decor;
- the tables are part of the collection. That is, all the furniture in your bedroom can be combined with each other if desired, and without running around the store, choosing options that suit each other;
- You can assemble the table yourself without any problems. Clear instructions and high-quality accessories will help you with this;
- The Swedish brand takes a very responsible approach to the safety of its products. All products undergo strict certification, are made of high-quality materials and their most harmless use is thought out (the surfaces are smooth without nicks or sharp corners, and the mirrors have a protective film so as not to crumble if they break);
- ease of cleaning is also an undoubted advantage of the dressing table. Cosmetics and perfumes can greatly stain the surface of the countertop. But the tables of the Swedish manufacturer are covered with a special acrylic composition, which protects the base from dirt, dust and minor damage. A sponge or cloth with a non-abrasive product will easily clean all surfaces;
- If you have children or large, restless animals in your home, the manufacturer provides for fixing the tables to the wall, although they are already perfectly balanced. All necessary fittings and fasteners are included in the kit;
- the tables do not have bulky shelves or crossbars underneath. You will be able to sit comfortably even on a swivel chair in any direction;
- Even with a minimalist design, the manufacturer thinks about the convenience of storing accessories in the table. Each model has drawers.
Color solutions
Basically, dressing tables from the brand are presented in classic light shades or contrasting dark ones. The most popular are white and milky shades, which can be universal for many interiors.
Some buyers consider this choice of shades to be rather meager, however, primary colors are considered the most versatile and in demand, especially for modern interiors in the minimalist or high-tech style.
Among the small selection of colors, you can diversify the table with an additional colored mirror, if it is not included, and beautiful lighting. It is also not uncommon for designers to complement a monochromatic and boring table with contrasting hanging and floor drawers.
Color spectrum
Currently, there is a huge range of colors and shades.
White
It is the most popular solution. Even the smallest white table can visually expand the boundaries of the room and add light to it.
Beige
Provides freedom for self-expression and inspiration and, when used correctly, helps create a light and delicate interior.
The photo shows a bedroom with a narrow dressing table in a beige shade.
Black
It adds completeness to the setting, makes its design truly beautiful and ideal and creates an aesthetic ambience.
Grey
Despite its restraint and laconicism, it has a unique charm, due to which the interior becomes more refined and elegant.
Pink
It will add space and some creativity to the overall color scheme and turn the product into a charming and slightly glamorous compositional center.
Marble
It is distinguished by its unshakable style and impeccable beauty, visually enriching the environment and giving it a certain mystery.
Brown
It is the most aesthetic option, which always looks as natural as possible and at the same time very presentable.
Product models and their distinctive features
Ikea offers several table options, both with and without a mirror, designed specifically for the bedroom. The compactness and stylistic neutrality of most models allows them to be placed in the hallway and living room if necessary.
The sizes and designs of the tables are different. Ikea specialists do not offer lighting, rightly believing that lighting is a too individual issue.
Great combination of white furniture with purple walls
Malm
The Malm dressing table from IKEA is the simplest classic model with side walls, equipped with one drawer. The width of the product is 120 cm, depth – 41. The table is compact and can be placed not only in the bedroom, but also anywhere else in the apartment.
The table is made of chipboard and fiberboard of low-emission class. Painting is done with safe and durable acrylic paint.
The series only offers white furniture.
The IKEA dressing table does not include a mirror: you can use a tabletop mirror or a wall mirror with lighting. The table top is made of tempered glass.

Brimans
The Brimans series offers two models that differ in configuration and size.
A compact small table 70*42 cm, very light and elegant, made of chipboard painted with white polymer paint. The storage compartments in the table are not made in the form of a drawer, but are hidden under the tabletop.
There are two such compartments. A rather large mirror is attached to the hinged lid of one of them. The table can be used as a desk or a decorative piece, but remains fully functional.
The second option has larger dimensions – 120*42 cm, and includes a cabinet with 2 drawers. They are intended for large care products – curling irons, hair dryers. And for cosmetics, you can use a drawer hidden under the tabletop with a folding mirror.
The design leaves free space in front of the compartment with the mirror, which allows you to sit comfortably behind it. Acrylic paint and varnish protect furniture from scratches and colored dyes. The table retains its virgin whiteness for a long time. Well, if the white color does not satisfy you in some way, you can choose a dark brown model.
Table from the Brimnes series
Hemnes
This table is the most decorative. It is made from chipboard, solid birch and beech. It has a slightly greater depth - 50 cm, and a stationary, built-in mirror in an elegant fantasy frame.
The drawers here resemble boxes in shape and are located on the surface of the countertop. This design is typical for Baroque style models, and the Hemnes table, without a doubt, perfectly conveys the spirit of that era. The model is equipped with a large sectional drawer for care products.
However, it is the attractiveness and grace of the model that impose stylistic restrictions on it.
In a high-tech or techno interior, the table would be out of place. The model will fit perfectly into classical and romantic styles - Provence, Italian neo-baroque.
The table top is covered with tempered glass. The mirror is also made of impact-resistant material.

Ransby
The table has a simple, elegant design and looks great in both classic and modern interiors. Compliance with the classics is ensured by a noble dark brown color and exquisite wood grain - ash veneer treated with dark stain. The modern concept welcomes its strict forms and symmetry.
The series offers a lighter shade - oak veneer, which creates a wonderful golden color.
The table is equipped with hanging drawers, symmetrically arranged, as well as a secret drawer with a hinged lid. There is a mirror attached to the lid.

Constructions
Despite the strength of each structure, experts from the brand recommend additionally securing dressing tables and consoles to the wall. This will give greater reliability and a guarantee of safety that the table will not suddenly fall, especially if you plan to place a lot of things and accessories on it.
Each design of a particular table is thought out to the smallest detail to satisfy the needs of each customer. The most important thing is that each product, after its assembly, will be functional and convenient to use, as well as to store various things.
Almost every table of this type has a mirror; it can be of various sizes, it all depends on the model and collection. But, if you want to purchase a product without a mirror, then you can easily buy it later, since it will not be difficult to choose it according to the desired color and shape among the brand’s collections.
Features of IKEA dressing tables
The company's models are always recognizable. A distinctive feature of any series is such a combination of color palette, shape and design, which allows you to fit the furniture into almost any interior and easily cope with the installation of products.
- Safety - Ikea uses only safe materials that are properly certified. All parts have carefully processed, non-sharp edges. The glass and mirror are sealed in a special protective film to prevent fragments from scattering in the event of possible damage. In most cases, tempered, non-hazardous glass is used for the mirror.
- Ikea models are distinguished by a perfectly calculated balance. The dressing table, despite its elegant design, is actually quite difficult to tip over. However, the company’s experts advise you to play it safe and mount the product on the wall if there are children living in the house.
- Easy to maintain - the acrylic varnishes used in the work have an excellent dirt-repellent effect. Products made from chipboard, MDF or wood are equally easy to care for: just a damp sponge for heavy stains and a piece of clean cloth.
- All dressing tables from Ikea require free space under the countertop. It's comfortable to sit at the table.
- The models are equipped with at least one drawer: it is much more convenient to store cosmetics and jewelry in the appropriate compartments than to place them on the countertop.
- All Ikea products are presented in the form of collections, including both furniture and a variety of related products. This approach greatly simplifies the procedure for selecting furniture by color and style.

Distinctive features of IKEA tables
The main distinguishing features of these furnishings from similar products from other manufacturers are:
- Safety due to the manufacturer's use of only certified materials. In addition, all products have carefully cleaned edges, and all their glass components are covered with a special film that prevents the glass from breaking into small fragments in the event of mechanical damage;
- Balanced design, achieved through careful calculations;
- Unpretentiousness in operation, which becomes possible thanks to the application of a special varnish to the chipboard panels. To clean the surface of an IKEA table, just walk over it with a damp sponge;
- The entire range of products of this kind is presented in the form of collections (a photo catalog of furniture is presented below), which greatly simplifies the selection of furnishings by design and color scheme,
- Laconic design - Swedes do not like elaborate designs; everything should be simple and functional.
Below we will look at the various options for IKEA tables, as well as the functional features of each of them. We will accompany everything with photo examples, which will allow you to choose exactly the products that will ideally complement the interior of your bedroom.
Kinds
Such a seemingly simple piece of furniture as a dressing table can be classified according to different criteria. Based on the presence of a mirror, tables are divided into:
- dressing table This is the most common and ancient version of the dressing table. A large mirror rises above the tabletop. In the interiors of past eras, such tables were decorated with carvings, stucco moldings, and twisted patterns. In modern design, the dressing table also has strict, intelligent forms, but does not lose its popularity;
- without a mirror. This is a compact option for any room. It can be built into the design of the countertop. Or you yourself will choose a convenient mirror of various colors, shapes and styles;
- trellis An unusual table with three rotating mirrors - for those who like to do makeup and hairstyles, there is an opportunity to see any angle.
By location relative to the wall:
- classic dressing table with four legs. It can be placed against a wall or window. It stands securely on the floor and does not require additional fastenings. This option came to us from ancient times;
- The wall table is attached to a vertical surface. There may be a different number of legs. They can be used as additional supports for reliability and for decorative purposes. These types of tables often have little depth. A good option for a small apartment;
- console - a suspended tabletop with additional elements in the form of shelves and drawers, but without supports. Its undeniable advantage is its apparent compactness and miniature size.
Depending on the availability of lighting, there are two types: with and without backlight. The approach to lighting is, as a rule, purely individual. Therefore, the backlight offered by the manufacturer is not always comfortable. You can use spotlights, LED strips, paired or single sconces and other types of lighting.
How to choose?
The choice of dressing table should depend on the style of the room in which it will be installed, the size of the space and its functional purpose. You can arrange a personal women's corner or combine this piece of furniture with another purpose.
The Hemnes table is worth purchasing if your bedroom or living room allows enough space for a separate self-care area
The appearance of the table immediately attracts attention. In combination with a mirror in a twisted frame, it will fit perfectly into Baroque, Empire and Rococo styles with stucco, gilding and majestic crystal chandeliers. Thanks to its soft lines it will also decorate a classic interior
Delicate floral patterns and vintage Provence and shabby chic lace will also easily coexist with such a dressing table
Thanks to its soft lines, it will also decorate a classic interior. Delicate floral designs and vintage lace from Provence and shabby chic will also easily coexist with such a dressing table.
For more modern styles, it is better to opt for other tables. Their strict outlines will take root in high-tech style and Mediterranean interiors. The simple shape and white color of the Malm and Brimnes tables will appeal to fans of minimalism. These tables can be used in the living room and hallway, even in the bathroom. A narrow tabletop and a hidden mirror are convenient for the bedroom when you have a small room area at your disposal. The table can be placed in the hallway and used for makeup and hairstyles, but hide all accessories in secret drawers.
Shapes and sizes of makeup tables
Main varieties of shapes and sizes.
Narrow
This small model is perfect for decorating even the smallest space. These consoles, located along the wall, will fit perfectly into a narrow room.
Angular
A wall-mounted or wall-mounted corner design is a particularly relevant furniture solution for an elongated room. This design smoothes out the corner space and gives the room proportionality.
Short
Due to its low height, it looks very compact and does not weigh down the interior space.

Long
It is an excellent option for a spacious room in which you can install a structure that covers almost the entire wall.
Types of dressing tables with mirrors and lighting
To choose a good dressing table that would meet all the needs of its owner, you need to decide on its type, material, color, functionality and much more. As already noted, ladies tables with mirrors are not a simple item, since this type of furniture performs not only a practical, but also an aesthetic function. To make the right choice, you should listen to some recommendations:
- dressing mirror tables must be stable and placed in such a way as to provide easy access to other objects located in the room;
- the table for cosmetics should have a large capacity;
- the design of this piece of furniture should be fully consistent with the overall interior of the room, and it is desirable if the set includes a soft pouf or banquette;
- the cosmetic table should be equipped with a large mirror;
- the structure should be located in a place with good lighting, and if the table is installed in the back of the room, then care must be taken to create additional lighting with electric lamps.
A chic mirrored dressing table with this arrangement smooths out the corners well
Conventionally, dressing tables can be divided into several categories: classic, dressing table and trellis. They also differ in the installation method - attached, wall-mounted and suspended. The last option is a dressing table without a mirror (it is installed separately), which fits well into a modern interior and seems to float in the air.
Make-up or cosmetic tables with mirror
The main purpose of cosmetic tables is to store decorative cosmetics and skin care products. In order to choose a design that would be convenient and meet all the needs of its owner, you need to take into account several points. Having decided to purchase a makeup table with a mirror and seeing a suitable model in the store, consider whether it will fit into your interior. If a dressing table or trellis does not harmonize with the overall design of the room, then a woman is unlikely to feel comfortable, especially if the structure is supposed to be placed in the bedroom.

The importance of illuminated mirrors for quality makeup
When choosing a dressing table, you need to pay attention to the presence of a mirror, its size and lighting. Since the first mirrors appeared, women have loved to look at their reflection. A small mirror is suitable if you need to touch up your lips or line your eyelashes, but to create a full-fledged makeup and try on clothes, it is advisable to use a large reflective surface
A small mirror is suitable if you need to touch up your lips or line your eyelashes, but to create a full-fledged makeup and try on clothes, it is advisable to use a large reflective surface.
Combining a dressing table with cabinets is an original and quite practical idea.
If the design is made to order, then it is better to choose a medium-sized mirror for the dressing table. This will allow you not only to apply high-quality makeup, but also to see the compatibility of your wardrobe. If you are a fan of Feng Shui or don’t want to see your reflection without makeup when you wake up in the morning, then you should choose a three-leaf mirror or one mounted on a folding tabletop for a backlit dressing table.
However, for high-quality makeup application you need not only a mirror, but also good lighting. As a rule, dressing tables are located near the windows, but if this is not possible, then you need to organize proper artificial lighting. It is best if the lighting fixtures are located around the entire perimeter of the mirror.
Beautiful photos of tables in the interior of rooms
Photo examples of using the table in various rooms.
Bedroom
The makeup table acts as a fashionable decorative element that performs a practical function. Here, these furniture designs for women are most often placed by the window or near the bed and complemented with comfortable armchairs, ottomans, banquettes with a soft pillow, or decorated with a luxurious lamp.

Children's room
In a girl’s room, it would also be useful to install a dressing table, which can be equipped with drawers or shelves for storing children’s cosmetics, perfumes and jewelry.

Balcony or loggia
Creating such a beauty zone is especially important for a bedroom that has access to a loggia. In this way, it is possible to free the room from unnecessary furniture and make maximum functional use of the balcony space.
Hallway and corridor
With the help of a laconic console, you can create an excellent place to store various small items and not overload the appearance of the hallway.
Wardrobe
Here, boudoir models for fashionistas will look especially appropriate, as they provide a convenient opportunity to create a harmonious image by applying makeup and choosing the right outfit.
Living room
An elegant ladies table in the living room will create a cozy atmosphere and become an unusual accent piece, which can also be decorated with fancy accessories, photo frames or a vase of flowers.
Bathroom
First of all, the product must be made of materials that can easily withstand high humidity. For a bathroom without a window, you should select designs with good local lighting.

Attic
The interior design of the attic depends entirely on the geometry of the space, which can be triangular, rectangular, asymmetrical, and have a bay window or loggia. Most often, not too high mobile transforming tables are chosen here.
Options in the interior
“Hemnes” will support the gentle and romantic mood of a girl’s bedroom.
"Malm" perfectly emphasizes the glamor of a bright purple design.

How to fit such a table into the interior
Most furniture models from Ikea are utilitarian in nature. In this, the company's designers fully share modern concepts. On the one hand, this means the absence of decorative details so dear to the heart, on the other hand, it allows the products to be used in any interior.
- For classic, baroque, and empire style, any model from Ikea is suitable, including a very elegant table from the Hemnes series - one of the few items in the collection that has a pronounced stylistic orientation. Perhaps the last option will be the most successful, since the dressing table in the bedroom is designed to also serve as a decorative accent.
- For a bedroom in a modern style, models with strict outlines are chosen - from the Malm and Brimans series. The clear shapes and uniform texture of the material perfectly correspond to the outwardly ascetic techno and hi-tech.
- In most cases, the collection includes several color options. It is completely optional to select furniture from the same series and the same color. Moreover, designers often use this technique - a combination of objects of different colors, but with the same texture, to enliven the interior.
Forming a collection in the form of series allows you to match any item to the decor in your bedroom or living room at any time. At the same time, models from different series can be easily combined.
Dressing tables from Ikea are simple and practical models that easily fit into the interior and best suit the modest dimensions of city apartments. And their apparent simplicity is easy to correct: there are a huge number of decoration methods.
