How to design the dressing table
The design of a bathroom requires careful planning and paying close attention to detail, especially the sink area, since it is the most important because it is the focus of attention. There are many decisions to make, design, style and even the types of sinks and countertops. This six-step process that we show you below offers you a plan to design this space.
Set design
Before deciding on colors, finishes and accessories, you should know where the dresser is going and how big it will be. The dressing table can only be for washing, or also for sitting. This will depend on the available space and on what use you want to give the bathroom
Many bathrooms have horizontal vanities with cabinets below. These dressers are efficient and take full advantage of the storage space and counter possible. They also ensure clean lines and an aerodynamic bathroom design.
L-shaped dressers can also be designed, particularly in main bathrooms. While they don’t always maximize space (corners are rarely efficient), they offer ample space to move around. Unless used in small bathrooms, L-shaped dressers do not feel tight.
Determine the number of toilets
You should choose a dressing style that can accommodate the amount of toilets you want. If you have enough space, double sinks are very comfortable, so you should keep that in mind. Unfortunately, there are often space restrictions.
If you are only going to place a sink, it can be in the center, on the right or on the left. The closet under it can have standard drawers or doors.
Choose style
Once you find the design that best suits your bathroom and determine how many sinks you want, the next step is to decide on the design of the sink and the bathroom cabinet. Do you prefer traditional cabinets? An antique piece of furniture? A pedestal sink?
If you want traditional cabinets, there are several factors to consider:
- Do you want to paint it or leave it as factory?
- Which color do you prefer?
- What kind of door style do you want?
- Do you want drawers or doors?
The independent dressers are not attached to any wall and may have open shelves instead of doors. It can also be a floating dresser, which is mounted on the wall and has open space underneath. If you don’t need storage space and are looking for a minimalist design, you can give up the cabinets and simply install a wall-mounted countertop.
Choose the right countertop
If you are buying a pedestal sink or restoring an old piece of furniture, you may be able to skip this step. Most other designs, including refurbished cabinets or furniture without a top, will require some type of countertop.
There are a number of materials available, including granite, quartz, marble, laminate, concrete or wood. Granite and quartz are very popular options for bathroom countertops. Both are durable and high quality materials with beautiful design patterns. Granite must be sealed every one or two years because it is a porous stone.
Softer stones such as marble scratch more easily than granite and quartz and have less moisture tolerance. Wood and laminate do not always get along with moisture, but they can be cheaper than stone.
Choose the type of sink
The next step is to determine the type of sink, for example, its type of assembly. After that, choose the color and material, be it porcelain, natural stone or something else.
Luminaries and accessories
It’s time to finish the design with accessories. You must pay attention to the furniture finishes, but you must also select the faucets, the lighting and the mirror. Most importantly, these should be coordinated with the rest of the design and colors.
Do you want wall lights, wall mounted lighting or recessed lighting? Do you want a built-in mirror or a decorative mirror that can be easily replaced? What kind of knobs and handles do you want? Do you want a detailed taps design or something simpler and more modern?
You must also define the materials of the accessories: bronze, nickel, chrome, stainless steel. And you must also choose a style (traditional, contemporary or modern).
Bathroom decorating ideas
Bathtubs
Regardless of the style chosen for decoration, an element that we see repeated in the vast majority of bathrooms is the bathtub. This element is gaining more popularity every day, given that nothing better after the extensive working hours to which we are subjected today, than taking a pleasant immersion bath. The bathtubs can be decorated with candles, and if your design allows it, vases with flowers or branches, photo frames, figurines, or any other decorative element can be placed on it.
Lighting fixtures
On the other hand, more and more, natural light is also committed, since no light is warmer and more comfortable than this.
But you can also use lighting lamps that match the style of the bathroom.
Plants
And in some styles you can find even baths decorated with plants, since there are many who enjoy contact with nature, and that is why we include in our relaxing space elements that allow us to feel the contact with nature.
Bathroom Color
The first step before all is to get rid of all kinds of things that are off a shelf; The countertops must be clean. Then choose a color for the bathroom and take the first big jump that is that change of air, by bringing new tones to the house. Following this, something that seems little, but always plays its important role, is to buy new sets of towels, which combine with the new wall color; surely it will be noticed by everyone who enters the bathroom.
We recommend you do the same with the shower curtain. Find one that adds to the combination of towels and wall.
Accessories
It is very neat to have a special coat rack to put on the robes and not that they are hanging from the door as often happens. The most common decorative elements for a bathroom can be vases, candles, or houseplants, baskets.

Imitation wooden tiles

Anyway, the tiles will be the order of the day for decoration, as they not only give that magical touch of yesteryear, but also provide rough surfaces, which prevent us from skating.

If you want to lean to other types of materials, such as marble, we recommend that you do not keep the first options you find. Today there are excellent options, such as this one, which gives luminosity to the bathroom and is ideal to combine with natural wood furniture.
