Buying Guide

Want to find a piece of furniture that looks great while helping you to stay organized? A bedroom makeup vanity is the ideal item to keep all your favorite makeup and jewelry in one place and ensure that your bedroom doesn't become too untidy. With so many varieties available to purchase, it can be tricky to know which one will suit you and your bedroom the best. Let's consider some of the styles of makeup vanity which are for sale.

How much storage space do you want your bedroom makeup vanity to offer?

If you don't know the answer to this already, you should take some time to figure it out so that you have a foundation to work from. Here are some of the types and sizes of vanity units that you can look at.

Wardrobes: A dressing table and mirror paired with a wardrobe on either side can provide you with ample storage space for not only your makeup, but your clothes and shoes too. This large piece of furniture is normally flat packed and will be built once it's inside the bedroom. Commonly seen in white or grey, this elegant unit is adorned with full length mirrors on the wardrobe doors as well as a smaller lower mirror at the dressing table for your makeup.
Simple unit: Standing around six feet tall, a full length mirror paired with a small table can create the ultimate simplistic makeup vanity look. The table often comes with a leather or fabric stool to provide comfort while applying your makeup at the table.
Fitted unit: Another style you will see which comes with some storage space is the fitted makeup vanity unit. The mirror is affixed to the wall and a slim unit is positioned horizontally to the wall. The storage space comes in the form of either shelves underneath the unit or drawers along the side or front of the horizontal piece.

How to select the right material for a bedroom makeup vanity?

Different materials for furniture within your bedroom can help to create different effects. If you're still deciding which material would suit your bedroom most, here are some of the most common options for makeup vanity units.

Wood: Light wood such as oak or cherry is a popular material for any bedroom furniture. A light brown shade can make the room seem soft and comfortable, while also being a neutral material and color to match other décor you may choose.
Mirror/chrome: This style of bedroom vanity unit is bursting with elegance and class. The legs are normally slightly curved for a softer look, and the mirrors surround the unit and create the appearance of more space in the room. A mirror may be joined to the unit or positioned on the wall next to the unit accordingly.

With so many beautiful designs available, think about the features which are important to you. Some bedroom vanity dressers will have ornate clocks and other decorative pieces, or you may choose to extend the dresser for a computer or television.
