Portland Dressing Table

Double pedestal dressing table buyer’s guide

A dressing table is a luxurious option for your bedroom, but it’s also a very practical piece of furniture. If you’ve gone without up until now, you’ve been missing out. Our double pedestal dressing table, called the Portland dressing table, offers generous space on its surface along with substantial storage inside, making it a fabulous focal point as well as a valuable space to prepare and to pamper. The two pedestals of the dressing table provide on one side a cupboard that has internal measurements W:37cm D:51cm H:59cm. There’s an adjustable shelf so you can configure the interior to fit what you need to inside. The other pedestal features four drawers that make space for tidying away make-up, hair brushes, jewellery and more, allowing you to keep everyday essentials and items for special occasions in one place for smooth and enjoyable preparation for day, evening, or an event.      

Choosing a dressing table with storage

The most useful storage options in your home allow you to keep what you need for particular tasks where they’re going to be used while maintaining the style and elegance of your room. A dressing table with storage makes the grade because it allows you to gather everything you need when putting on make-up, styling your hair, and getting set for big occasions in one place. We’ve combined two types of storage into our Portland dressing table design so that you can keep a variety of items together by category which means you won’t lose track of them. The cupboard and drawer combination also makes items of different sizes easy to access. We’ve also designed our Portland dressing table with a large tabletop which makes space for good lighting for your tasks along with a classic mirror and decorative items that ensure it’s the most attractive feature of your room it can be. 


Pick the best dressing table options

Consider whether you would like a glass top for your dressing table. It will add extra protection to the surface of the table, makes wiping up any spilled powders or lotions easy, and will catch the light for added sparkle to boot. Your dressing table design can also be personalised when you select from our range of painted finishes. Any of the shades from our sophisticated neutral palette can make the dressing table the perfect complement to your room scheme, but you may also want to take a look at our darker shades to make it an even more attention-grabbing part of your room scheme. For the drawers and cupboard pedestal our wooden knobs painted in the same shade as the furniture are the standard option, but check out as alternatives the knobs and handles in our range, which can be selected instead to further individualise your piece of furniture. Pick cool modern metals or richer tones, or opt for wooden knobs for a warmly tactile finishing touch.

Accessorise your dressing table

For maximum comfort at your double pedestal dressing table, team it with an upholstered chair. You can match the paint colour of the chair frame to the dressing table or pick a harmonious shade, and your choice of upholstery fabric can take its lead from the colour you choose for the dressing table as well. If you need a seat that will tuck completely away when you’re not at the dressing table, take a look at our selection of stools, which can all be upholstered in the fabric of your choice from our large collection of designs from the leading fabric houses. The generous size of the Portland dressing table makes it suitable for a triple aspect mirror which will make all your tasks easier. Don’t neglect lighting either. Check out our elegant lamp bases and pick lamp shades in the fabric of your choice to complete your dressing table.
