How to Create a Dressing Area

Instructions

1

Dedicate an area to dressing, primping and preening. Consider the unique layout and size of your quarters when choosing a suitable dressing space. This may be an entire room, a large closet or a designated spot in the bedroom. Ideally you'll have enough room to accommodate a vanity or dressing table with enough wall space for a mirror and proper lighting.

2

Clear a space and situate your dressing station. This may come in the form of an antique vanity, small desk or simple wooden table. Place a stool, bench or chair in front of your vanity and hang a mirror and lighting. If you don't have the wall space, prop the mirror up on your table. Consider a lighted makeup mirror to save space.

3

Glamorize your space. Your dressing area should be within reach of accessories and special beauty products. Decide what items you want readily available to you while seated at your dressing station. Hair brushes, lotions and perfumes are just a few items that will personalize your special space.

4

Work in the details. Add decorative touches like romantic candles and vases with fresh flowers. Use a feminine jewelry box and display special mementoes to personalize your primping station. Integrate creative accessories like feather boas for a whimsical feel. Drape boas or scarves over your mirror or hang necklaces and colorful baubles for eclectic style.
