Girls' Dressing Tables

Your daughter’s birthday is coming up. You’re looking for a gift idea. You want to move away from the usual toys: a simple doll, a Barbie house with storage space, clothes… Or perhaps you’re already thinking about Christmas to treat your child? A girls’ dressing table is the perfect present. To make sure your young lady is absolutely delighted, you need to get the choice right.

Girls’ dressing table: the ideal dimensions

The dimensions of a large girls’ dressing table must suit the child. Take her age into account. This will help you determine the right type of dressing table. The size of the furniture should match the size of the user. Read the product specifications. The information will tell you whether the piece of furniture is right for your child. Study your daughter’s room. Decide in advance where the dressing table will go. The dimensions of the furniture are listed in the specifications. Find them. You’ll know whether they suit the chosen spot. You’ll avoid any unpleasant surprises.

Pay attention to design

Design is an important element in the choice. It dictates both the aesthetic appeal and the functionality of the dressing table. Your goal is to delight your daughter. So make sure she falls in love with her make-up table. A girls’ dressing table is a major piece of furniture that will take pride of place in the home. It deserves careful consideration. Go for the right colours. A pink girls’ dressing table with mirror and storage will win your child over. It’s designed to captivate children her age. The magic works every time. Advantages of this little piece of furniture:

• Compact footprint
• Stylish table legs
• Harmonious décor
• Coordinated colour gradients
• Complete equipment

Look at this magnificent table, and you’ll wish you could go back to your own childhood. This dressing table is perfect for decorating a girl’s bedroom. Its dominant pink colour makes a real statement.

A true decorative feature

Do bear this function in mind: decoration. Once again, knowing your daughter’s room well will make the choice easier. Choose the elegant girls’ dressing table based on the colour scheme of your young lady’s room. The models you’ll find come in different elegant styles:

• Romantic
• Childlike
• Contemporary

You know your daughter’s personality better than anyone. Bear it in mind. You’ll see simple models, patterned ones, or two-tone options. Let your daughter’s tastes guide you. If your child is a fan of cartoons and you know her favourite character, that’s a great lead for making her happy. The Frozen make-up vanity set for girls will make a huge impression. Your daughter will throw her arms around you to say thank you. The Frozen make-up vanity set has a functional design. When packed away, it takes the shape of a trolley suitcase. Its pull-out handle is actually one of the dressing table’s legs. This suitcase unfolds into a full make-up station before the child’s amazed eyes. It’s playful, impressive and practical.

A seat to match the table

Some girls’ dressing table models don’t come with a seat. Your young lady really does need to be comfortable when she’s doing her make-up. Look for a model with a matching stool. A chair is even more comfortable. You can try to find a seat for a dressing table that doesn’t come with one. This is often difficult. Finding a separate stool tends to create a visual mismatch. The aesthetic suffers. Your choice risks leaving the child uninterested.

Pay attention to the equipment

Your daughter’s dressing table is both an accessory and a place. It needs to include a host of interesting elements. This is what will keep your child’s attention. Your young lady should enjoy:

• Putting on make-up
• Dressing up
• Tidying away
• Imitating mum
• Playing

Choose a model with plenty of features. The Disney princess-patterned dressing table for girls is a wonderful example.

Drawers, mirrors: practical features

A girls’ dressing table with lots of drawers is a great find. Your child will store her make-up and jewellery there. Your daughter may have little secrets — she’ll be able to hide them. The dressing table becomes her special corner. Some models have fun lighting. These little details attract children. The mirror is an essential feature. Your daughter needs to judge for herself whether her make-up looks right. She’ll ask for your opinion afterwards. The mirror can be made from plastic or glass. In either case, opt for an unbreakable model. A round shape strongly emphasises the feminine side. The Minnie Mouse dressing table for girls is the perfect example. An oval mirror will fascinate your child. Other shapes are bolder or more fanciful. Well-thought-out shapes can even resemble a heart. Here’s a model with multiple advantages: the Frozen 39-piece make-up set for girls. The Frozen design is a major selling point. With 39 accessories, your daughter will have plenty to keep her busy. The mirror is almost round, slightly oval — and better still, it has a heart-shaped stand. It truly has everything to win over your child. Some girls’ dressing table mirrors swivel. That’s a real bonus if you can find one. Think about a hairdressing head. This type of mannequin will keep your daughter company. Your young lady will enjoy creating hairstyles with pleasure. Little girls love that sort of thing.

Pay attention to the quality of materials for a girls’ dressing table

Dressing tables are made from durable plastic. Some models are made from plywood. The sturdiest are made from wood. We recommend opting for wood. This material is eco-friendly. Furthermore, it represents a sound investment. Over time, if you wish, you can repaint a wooden dressing table and give it a fresh new look. Imagine a wooden model that meets all the expectations of a young girl. The only downside: the colour. In that case, a lick of paint solves the problem. A girls’ dressing table in durable plastic is less sturdy than wood. It feels more like a toy than a piece of furniture. Plastic is easy to clean. It costs less. However, it is lightweight and therefore less stable. A limited budget leads some parents to choose plastic. Others opt for plywood. If your budget is tight, consider MDF. An MDF dressing table is a good choice for those on a budget. MDF stands for Medium Density Fibreboard. It’s a composite material made from wood fibres and synthetic materials. MDF is generally less expensive than solid wood. Its lightness doesn’t compromise its stability. The material is widely used in interior decoration. Choosing a girls’ dressing table in MDF is a good idea. However, do bear in mind that the material is not water-resistant.

How much should you spend on a girls’ dressing table for your child?

The price of a dressing table depends on the material used in its construction. Design also plays a role. Some brands are more expensive than others. You’ll come across some less well-known manufacturers who are nevertheless perfectly reliable. Use our advice to assess the quality of the piece of furniture. Be wary of commercial licences. Some retailers take advantage of popular characters to sell poor-quality products at inflated prices.
