An excellent light source will be a mirror with built-in bulbs that can be located around the entire perimeter or on the sides. For convenience, they can be conditionally divided in half vertically or horizontally and, if a particular procedure does not need special accuracy, you can turn on the backlight in parts.

The main thing is that your idea can be realized. First of all, decide on the choice of material.

• Have almost any shade (there are more than a hundred options in the color palette).

To choose a model that will delight you for many years and make your getting ready for work or holiday much easier, follow these guidelines.

• Appearance, shape and material should be in harmony with the surrounding interior. For a minimalist style, plain options without embellishments are suitable. The classic decoration is complemented by models with patinating, carving, decorative handles.
• Decide on a location. You can not install the table in front of the window.It is much better if the natural light source is on the left, there should be an outlet nearby. Keep cosmetics away from heating appliances and direct sunlight.

• Lighting (natural or artificial) should be adequate.
• Determine what items your dressing table will hold depending on your needs. If the structure is not strong enough, use lightweight tabletop containers, boxes and holders.

• Pay attention to which mirror you need. If the room already has large mirrors, you can use a small one. In a real dressing room, to create a bright and believable image, special mirrors with professional illumination are needed.
• The table can become a reflection of your personality, therefore, it is necessary to select it based on personal needs.

• You should choose an ergonomic option so that it is comfortable to sit in front of it. There are tall models, but being in a standing position for a long time is fraught with fatigue and tension, and, accordingly, the result may not meet expectations.
• Choosing such a piece of furniture, you also need to be guided by the age of its owner. From a very young age, it is necessary to teach a girl to monitor the condition of her hairstyle and cleanliness of her face.
