How To Choose and Style Your Own Personal Vanity
A well-organized space makes getting ready for the day or an evening out easier and more enjoyable.
A personal vanity is like a haven – it should be a comfortable space to sit down, relax and get ready. Especially useful for those living in small spaces or for couples with only one bathroom, a dedicated vanity frees up the bathroom mirror for a partner to use, making it easier to share space and time.
Choose Versatility
When choosing a vanity for your bedroom, think about the different features you want it to include. For instance, if counter space is a priority, a vanity with a hidden mirror and storage compartments that can be revealed as needed may be a good option. The Alf Italia Artemide Vanity from HomeWorld Furniture has both of these features. Crafted in Italy, this desk has a sleek design that features an open-up mirror with a zoom-in mirror on top of it, a drawer for storing products, and an area to display and organize jewelry.

Comfort is Key
Feel at-ease during the time you spend at your vanity desk by selecting a chair that is comfortable and complements its look. The Blast Dining Side Chair from Red Knot is a contemporary choice that is comfortable and minimalist. Blast Dining Side Chair by Actona Company, $150 for set of two, from Red Knot.
Shine a Light on Efficiency
Doing hair and makeup can be time-consuming and detailed. Adding extra light can help you avoid missteps and get ready faster. Transitional Steel Lamp in Black Nickel by Style Craft Home Collections, $52, from HomeWorld Furniture.
Stay Organized
To keep your desk organized, designate areas for specific beauty products. For example, use Simply Organized’s Acrylic Makeup/Desk Organizer to display and store your makeup brushes, and the Clarity Plastic Storage Drawer Organizer to divide storage space in your drawers for makeup palettes or hair accessories.
