There is something impossibly glamorous about an old-fashioned (or in some cases, sleek and modernist) dressing table. Perhaps it is to do with the fact that it will forever call to mind our grannies’ beguiling lotions, powders, potions and properly arranged spaces for beautifying, complete with vanity sets and glass scent bottles. Or maybe we’ve just always harboured latent ambitions to go on the stage.

Any which way, we’re all for them, and if you’re in the market for a dressing table, they can be just the thing to tip your bedroom décor over into elegance, that most grown-up and sophisticated of decorative things. To that end, we have rounded up a selection of the best to buy for you to peruse, as well as an edit of the best tabletop accessories to complete the look.
