• plastic;
• metal;
• glass.

Models from any materials are presented in various design solutions. At the same time, classic dressing tables with a mirror are made mainly of natural wood, and more modern models are made from its substitutes.

In order for the pier glass to fulfill all its functions, serve as a functional decoration of the bedroom and a harmonious addition to the interior, it must be chosen correctly. To do this, professional designers suggest paying attention to the following factors:

• The form... Corner options are considered more preferable, since they are compact and allow you to leave more free space in the room.
• Dimensions (edit)... They must correspond to the area of ​​the room. Wide dressing tables will look out of place in small bedrooms. In addition, there should be enough space in front of the dressing table in order to put a chair or pouf, as well as be able to see yourself in a full-length mirror.
• Functionality... The more cabinets, drawers, shelves, the more functional this piece of furniture will be.However, if there are already enough cabinets, bedside tables and shelves in the room, then you should give preference to more decorative and elegant models.
• Equipment... Many models are sold already equipped with chairs and ottomans made in the same style and composition. However, there are also options that are offered individually. In the latter case, you will have to select more or less suitable additions for them, which is not always convenient and takes much more time and effort.
• The material from which the piece of furniture itself and its fittings are made. This parameter will determine not only the price, but also the service life of the furniture.
• Bedroom design... The product should not contrast with the rest of the interior and "fall out" from it.
• Colour. The most successful color schemes are those that will best match the environment.

In addition, even before buying a dressing table with a mirror, it is worth choosing a place for it. For this, designers are advised to pay attention to well-lit areas. If there are no such in the room, then in the place intended for the pier glass, it is worth placing additional light sources.
