Plan the dressing table in use
Include the chair and knee space when drawing the unit, then review drawer openings and mirror placement. A compact design may suit a wide drawer or side storage rather than drawers that obstruct seating. Separate items kept on the top from those stored, and coordinate accessible power where required.
Compare the design options
Use these options to discuss the configuration that fits the room and its intended use. Review dimensions and details against the actual material and hardware selected in the drawing.
