A dressing table turns getting ready into something you look forward to — a dedicated spot for makeup, jewellery and a proper mirror, instead of hunching over a bathroom sink. Melbourne Home & Living stocks over 180 dressing tables, from $120 mirror-and-stool sets to Hollywood LED-bulb styles, held in our Melbourne warehouse and shipped Australia-wide with a 12-month warranty and 30-day change-of-mind returns.
What makes a good dressing table?
Four things: a clear mirror, enough drawer storage, comfortable lighting and a stool at the right height. Drawers keep makeup, brushes and jewellery sorted and out of sight. A sliding or flip-top mirror hides away when you're not using it, which suits smaller rooms. And the stool should tuck fully under the table so it doesn't eat floor space — most of our sets include a matching one.
LED and Hollywood dressing tables
Bulb-lit "Hollywood" dressing tables have become the style to beat, and there's a practical reason beyond the look. Rows of LED bulbs around the mirror throw even, shadow-free light across your face — far better for applying makeup than a single overhead ceiling light, which casts shadows under the eyes and chin. Warm-white bulbs flatter skin tones; adjustable models let you dial the brightness up for detail work.
How much space does a dressing table need?
Measure the wall width for the table, then allow room for the stool to pull out — around 50cm in front. If the mirror flips up or slides, check there's clearance above. Compact dressing tables suit a bedroom corner; larger sets with a tri-fold or bulb-lit mirror need a clear stretch of wall.
Does it come with a stool and mirror?
Most of our dressing tables are sold as complete sets with a matching stool and mirror included — check the title and product page, which spell out exactly what's in the box. If you already have a stool you love, table-only options are available too, and standalone velvet stools start from around $38.
