In Indian apartments, the dressing area is usually a part of a bedroom as we don’t have the luxury of separate spaces for wardrobes and dressing. In most modern apartments today, only the master bedroom is spacious enough to have a dressing table, whereas the other bedrooms are slightly smaller. The most important part of the dressing area is the mirror, followed by storage for your beauty items and lastly a chair or stool if space permits. Shami Goregaoker, Project Manager and design strategist, GA design, puts forth several innovative ways a dressing unit can be accommodated despite the space constraint.

  1. There are many options available for readymade vanity tables. One is to tuck it away into a little corner of the room.
  2. Another option is a narrow wall-mounted shelf with mirror above and drawers underneath, a small table with a soft stool stowed away under it or a simple contemporary desk with a mirror which can be used as a writing desk whenever required.
  3. You don’t need to be restricted by the choice of readymade dressers. Customize your own to suit the design and décor of your room.
  4. The most common practice has been to have a full mirror on one of the shutters of the wardrobe with storage behind it.
  5. A full length mirror could be fixed on the bathroom door from the inside and your wash basin counter could double up as your vanity unit.
  6. The tv unit opposite your bed could also be used as a dressing unit with a stylish full length mirror placed elegantly on or next to it.
  7. Bedside tables or a chest of drawers could also double up as dressing units. Small spaces can be used optimally with clever planning and the expertise of an interior designer.
