This is especially important if you live in a shared space, as it will avoid your belongings from being disturbed or taken when you are concentrating on your beauty routine and don’t want to be distracted by the presence of other people.

In the 1700s, dressing tables became a status symbol, and could even feature the family coat of arms to enhance their prestige. These pieces evolved into lowboys and poudreuse in England, and high and low cabinet-style dressing tables in France.
