You may be a busy working person or a stay at home parent who loves a quick 10-minute me-time for looking fresh and ready for your day. Have you thought of creating a special place at home for self-grooming but never really implemented it?

There are plenty of options to buy in the market today. But it would be disappointing if you bought one, and it doesn’t have enough space for your jewellery or favourite gadgets. Let’s not let that happen. Read on for some cool tips and ideas to plan and design your personal vanity table.

Planning Your Vanity Table/Dressing Table

A well-planned vanity table or dressing table helps you keep cosmetics and other daily grooming essentials close to hand.

Start with this checklist of questions:

  • Should the vanity table be in your bedroom or bathroom?
  • What are the things you want within easy reach when you get dressed?
  • If in your bedroom, should it be a multi-purpose space? (e.g. dresser cum workspace)
  • What are the things you want to display in the dressing table?
  • What items do you want to store concealed?
  • How much space can you spare in the room?
  • What vanity table colours go with the décor of the room?
  • What are the materials that can be used for a dressing table?
  • How much light do you need for dressing up?
  • What kind of mirror do you prefer for vanity table?
  • What accessories can be added to decorate this space?

As for the style, you could go vintage, classic, minimalist, bohemian, simple or glamorous. The options are endless.

Here are 10 stylish ideas to help you plan an organized vanity table or dressing table in your bedroom

Hidden vanity table

Dressing tables can also be concealed behind wardrobe doors when not in use. This keeps the clutter away from sight.

Find an old, sturdy wooden cupboard, rework the shelves to suit your dressing needs, add in leg space to slip in a chair below, and add a few coats of your favourite paint. Voila! You have a custom-designed, repurposed, concealed vanity right there. Organize your beauty products on shelves on the inner sides of the doors.
