Decorative Makeup Space
The basic formula of DIY makeup vanity ideas includes a chair, a table, and a large mirror. If you want to turn your beauty station into a truly eye-catching spot in your bedroom, we recommend using a small to medium table mirror and hanging a large and attractive artwork on the wall.
Easy DIY Makeup Vanity with Wire Baskets
One of the quick and easy DIY makeup vanity ideas is by using wire basket drawer units. Similar to the kitchen barstool idea, simply place two wire basket drawer units (with tabletops) and fit them on a floating shelf to connect them. Then place a mirror on the shelf and organize your beauty products inside the drawers.
Wire baskets allow you to easily see what’s inside which reminds you of all the products as well as keeping clutter in check, and having a clean-up routine.
What Are Your Favorite DIY Makeup Vanity Ideas?
Before utilizing any of these ideas, don’t forget to decide on where you want to place your vanity. The bedroom is probably the most traditional location, but you can also place it inside their walk-in closets, or in the bathroom for more convenience.
In addition to the location, your vanity will affect your mood and the tone of the room, so make sure you find the best idea for your space that is both beautiful and functional. You should also consider the mirror position and size, the right lighting to see well without shadows, and enough storage for all of your beauty and hygiene products.
