How to Choose a Dressing Table for Your Glamorous Lifestyle
In cities like Dubai and Abu Dhabi, where style is woven into everyday life and trends shift as quickly as the skyline, your furniture should be more than just functional. It should reflect your personality, match your pace, and add a touch of glamour to your daily routine. And no piece does that better than a well-chosen dressing table.
Whether you’re getting ready for a festive Iftar gathering, a chic weekend brunch, or an impromptu Majlis, a thoughtfully designed dressing table can turn a rushed morning into a smooth, stress-free ritual.
At Royaloak UAE, we believe your dressing table should be as stylish and versatile as your lifestyle. From elegant dressing tables with drawers to compact, trendy ones, we have it all. Here’s a helpful guide to picking the perfect one for your home with a few key factors you need to consider when choosing “the one” for your home.
1. Consider Space
The first step in choosing a dressing table is assessing the space available in your bedroom. Do you have a dedicated corner for grooming, or will it need to share space with other furniture? If you have little ones at home, consider a kids dressing table with soft or blunt edges. And, ensure the table you choose comes with a child-friendly height and design.
For compact spaces, a small dressing table with a sleek mirror and essential drawers works best. If you’re tight on floor space, opt for wall-mounted designs or multipurpose units that double as workstations.

2. Need Extra Storage?
We all know the struggle of keeping our dressing tables tidy and organised. To avoid any chances of breaking or misplacing essentials, it is recommended to invest in a dressing table with drawers so that every essential is easily accessible.
Especially around festive times like Ramadan, Eid, or the Dubai Shopping Festival, when you’re pulling out your best jewellery or new beauty buys, extra drawer space becomes a true blessing.

3. Choose a Mirror Type
A dressing table without a mirror is simply incomplete. But having just any mirror design simply won’t do justice to both your needs and the overall aesthetics of the room. A full-length vertical mirror, a tri-fold mirror, or LED-lit mirrors, no matter which type you’re looking for, Royaloak UAE has an elaborate collection of dressing tables with mirrors.
If you’re sharing the dressing space or have a darker room setup, mirrors with built-in adjustable lighting are worth the investment.

4. Invest in Durable Material
In the UAE’s climate, it’s crucial to select materials that handle humidity and heat well. Wooden dressing tables offer timeless appeal, but opt for engineered wood or hardwoods like sheesham, which are resistant to warping. If you’re after a sleek, modern look, glass and metal frames are also popular—but they may need more maintenance.
Also, consider the surface finish. Laminated or PU-coated finishes are easier to clean and more resistant to stains.

5. Match the Decor
Your dressing table should blend seamlessly with your bedroom vibe. In UAE homes, design trends vary from Emirati traditional palettes with rich wood and gold accents to contemporary styles loved by expats. Regardless of your decor style, ensure that your chosen dressing table echoes the same design.
You can opt for a dressing table chair or a comfy ottoman for extra comfort. Choose classic walnut tones for a regal Middle Eastern vibe or go for high-gloss white finishes to reflect Dubai’s modern luxe lifestyle.
