  • furniture set module;
  • detached

In appearance, there are different tables:

  • With legs. The most familiar option. Differs in stability, allows to contain in itself many accessories.
  • By the type of console. Support for the countertop are drawer units or solid panels.
  • Suspended. In the form of a shelf, have a weight limit.

  • Rectilinear. There are square, rectangular and arbitrary shape models. The streamlined shape less subjects the wearer to injury, but the “rectangle” or “squares” have a variety of filling options and accommodate more things.
  • Corner. Have a greater depth of storage boxes and table top. Allow to take corners and correctly distribute a place in the room.

By type of table top tables are divided into two types: with a stationary and with a flip surface. Such a model when folded can perform the function of a desktop or a desk.

The mirror can be decorated with wooden, metal or plastic frame. It is attached to the furniture or wall. Large models are mainly used as wall models.

Allocate mirrors of the following forms:

  • square or rectangular;
  • round;
  • oval.

By the number of parts of the mirror are classified into the following:

  • Consisting of one web;
  • Consisting of a central blade and side turning parts. Such options allow you to see the image from all sides.

Separate mirror cloths can have special mechanisms for approaching or moving away, changing the angle of inclination or turning. The mirrors on the mobile stand are two-sided, where one side has a magnifying effect (two-fold, three-fold, and so on). Professional mirrors are purchased separately.

Evaluating the reflective properties, should be preferred silver plating. Aluminum spraying is less reliable, unacceptable to use in the bathroom and less clear. If the product is marked marking definition class above the tenth, the image will be distorted. Professionals use mirrors with zero or first class distortion.

Lighting

The same image with different lighting will look different. Even in the daytime, natural lighting is not enough, in which case you can use additional ordinary or professional lamps. An excellent light source will be a mirror with built-in light bulbs, which can be located around the perimeter or on the sides. For convenience, they can be conventionally divided in half vertically or horizontally, and, if one procedure or another does not need special precision, turn on the highlighting in parts.

It is better to use LED lamps, they have a longer service life, high-quality lighting and no eye strain, aesthetic appearance. Incandescent lamps heat up - this leads to deterioration of cosmetics, and makeup itself can leak. Fluorescent lighting distorts colors.

If you have problem skin with irregularities or flaws, you should choose a cold light, so all the problems will be more noticeable and you can effectively hide them. Warm light is more pleasant and suitable for regular use. If the mirror is removable, the backlight is battery powered. Fixed models are powered by the mains.Lighting elements should be located at the level of your face. It is important that the light falls not only from above, then the makeup will exceed all your expectations.

Color solutions

The easiest way to show your originality is to add color accents to the interior. In one case, it is better to make the furniture more inconspicuous, thereby visually expanding the space, in the other - colored furniture will become a peculiar highlight. The main thing is that your idea can be realized. First decide on the choice of material.

Professionals often use folding models - in this case it will be better to use plastic or light metal.

Models for home or beauty salon can be made of chipboard, MDF, solid or plastic. Plastic can be painted in bulk, then the whole product inside and outside will be the same color, other materials can be laminated or painted. The advantages of painted MDF are that it is possible to restore the chipping or scratching that has occurred, laminated models are not subject to restoration, however, they are highly durable.

The film used for lamination can be of different types:

  • Glossy or matte;
  • With imitation of the texture of stone, wood, leather, metal;
  • Have almost any shade (in the color palette of more than a hundred options).

Tips for choosing

To choose a model that will delight you for many years and greatly facilitate your time for work or holiday fees, follow these recommendations.

  • Appearance, form and material should be in harmony with the surrounding interior. For a minimalist style, plain variants without decorations are suitable. Classic decoration complement the model with patina, carving, decorative handles.
  • Decide on the location. You can not set a table in front of the window. It is much better if the natural light source is on the left, there should be a socket nearby. Make sure that cosmetics are farther away from radiators and direct sunlight.
  • Lighting (natural or artificial) should be sufficient.
  • Depending on your needs, determine exactly which items your make-up table will hold. If the construction is not strong enough, use light table containers, caskets and holders.
  • Pay attention to which mirror you need.If the room already has large mirrors, you can use a small one. In this dressing room to create a bright and believable image, you need special mirrors with professional lighting.
  • The table can be a reflection of your individuality, therefore, it should be selected on the basis of personal needs.
  • You should choose an ergonomic option to sit comfortably in front of him. There are high 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 need to focus on the age of its owner. From a very young age it is necessary to teach a girl to follow the state of her hair and cleanliness of her face
