Where to keep your “lady’s essentials”? The dressing table as a symbol of femininity in the interior
Furnishing a home is a story of comfort, but in bedroom interiors there is one detail that goes beyond simple functionality. “It is not just a piece of furniture — it is an accent of femininity and a personal space,” emphasizes Lolita Freidmane, head of the interior design studio INTRANTE. We are talking about the dressing table — the place where a woman “gets ready for the day” each morning, applying not only decorative cosmetics, but also the feeling dreamed during the night and the mask of the day’s ambitions.
Thanks to its form and aesthetics, a dressing table often becomes the finishing touch of a bedroom and its main design jewel. In collaboration with DECCO CENTRS, the largest interior quarter in Riga, we have gathered advice on how to choose the ideal “beauty oasis” for any room.
In today’s dynamic environment, the role of the dressing table has evolved. It is no longer just a mirror and a drawer for powder. At this table, a woman reads her favorite magazines, enjoys books, keeps up with news online, or even replies to client emails.
As L. Freidmane points out, that is why it is important to ensure that this corner is:
Comfortable: The right seat height and a comfortable chair.
Functional: Space for all the necessary “essentials” — from perfumes to a tablet and phone charging station.
Inspiring: An aesthetic that improves your mood from the very first minutes of the day.
Women often give up on the idea of a dressing table because of lack of space, but the showrooms at DECCO CENTRS demonstrate that modern design can provide a solution for any size of room.
Especially popular are models with a lift-up top, with a mirror built inside. Underneath, all daily items and accessories can be neatly stored. When closed, this table transforms into an elegant console or a compact work surface — an ideal solution for those who prefer a “nothing extra” interior.
If the bedroom is very small, designers recommend creative integration options:
Combined with a bedside table: One extended surface element that fulfills both functions.
Built into a wardrobe system: A dressing table seamlessly integrated into a fitted wardrobe.
TV area: Integrating the table into a multimedia furniture arrangement.
Designer Lolita Freidmane advises against overloading this zone. “Do not place anything unnecessary on the dressing table — only beautiful, refined items: photographs of loved ones, a favorite bottle of perfume, or freshly cut flowers.”
To create a complete ensemble, the dressing table can be replaced or complemented by a refined console or even a chest of drawers with an elegant mirror placed above it. The most important thing is to pair it with a stylish pouf or a comfortable designer chair, which you can find in DECCO CENTRS showrooms in Riga, such as Nakts Mēbeles or Mebellini.
No beauty ritual is imaginable without proper lighting. When looking for a dressing table in the DECCO CENTRS interior quarter, pay attention not only to the furniture itself, but also to lighting solutions. Ideally, the light should be neutral and even from both sides of the mirror to avoid shadows on the face.
The DECCO CENTRS interior quarter in Riga offers a unique opportunity — to explore the displays of more than 20 showrooms in one place. Here you can:
Find both Latvian-made solid wood dressing tables and exclusive Italian design pieces.
Try poufs and chairs in person to make sure they are comfortable.
Get professional advice on material compatibility and lighting installation.
A dressing table is a guarantee of well-being and every woman’s dream. It is an investment not only in a piece of furniture, but also in your morning energy and overall sense of well-being.
The best place is near a window, to ensure natural daylight, which is ideal for applying makeup. If that is not possible, high-quality artificial lighting with a neutral color temperature should be chosen.
Yes. By choosing models with a fold-down mirror and a smooth surface, this piece of furniture can serve as an elegant workspace for a laptop during the day.
For durability, we recommend solid wood or high-quality MDF with a resistant finish, since cosmetics or perfume may come into contact with the surface.
