Modern Makeup Vanity

With specific designated storage for your makeup and skincare products outside of your bathroom, you'll free up counter space in your bathroom - which will just make that frequently-used part of your home that much more useful. However, you've got to make sure you choose the right makeup vanity - one that fits well within your home.

These types of furniture pieces used to be called 'dressing tables', and it's important to remember that a true modern makeup vanity can be used in any way you choose! When you're thinking about adding this versatile piece of furniture to your home, consider the following types of decisions you'll have to make to find a vanity that works well for you.

First, measure the space in your home that you have available for this type of vanity. Typically, you'll find that a makeup vanity is about 30 to 50 inches wide; however, you'll need to make sure that you don't buy something bigger than you have room for. (You'll also want to have a little room on either side of your vanity, so measure your space carefully!)

Then, take a look at your makeup and skincare collection. In order to have a space that doesn't look cluttered, how much room are you going to need for product storage? Even if you don't think you'll need it, having a makeup vanity that has hutches, shelves, or drawers to make makeup storage easy will definitely pay off in the long run. (At the very least, it gives your makeup collection room to grow!)

Finally, think about the mirror and lighting that come with your vanity. You'll want to be able to see yourself well enough to apply your products easily. The mirror should be big enough to see your entire face in, and it should have built-in light so that you don't have to rely on natural light for your look.
