Create a bright functional space for your feminine routine with a bedroom vanity.
The key to creating a bedroom vanity is choosing colors and textures similar to your current bedroom decor for a cohesive and intentional look. Use colors and items you like to create a bedroom vanity that is functional and bright, perfect for your daily routine. Not only will your vanity be a space to get ready, it can also house your beauty products, jewelry, accessories and other personal items.
Instructions
1. Lighter paint colors are reflective and will brighten up the space.
Use unexpected furniture for your vanity base. Look for furniture that is waist height so when you are seated, you can see everything above your chest. Transform an old wood desk, hallway table or kitchen buffet into a bedroom vanity. Look for a durable and easy to clean material such as wood, a decorative style you enjoy, ample workspace and room for storage. Stain or paint the furniture to match your current bedroom suite. Place your new vanity base up against the wall opposite your bed.
2. Make sure your chair is sturdy and comfortable for sitting.
Reupholster a stool or small chair with fabric matching your bedroom decor. Pull colors from window treatments and bedding. If your current window treatments or bedding have pattern or designs, chose one color from the fabric for a solid color vanity seat. If your bedding and window treatments are solid colors, chose a patterned fabric with similar colors for your seat. Paint or stain the stool or chair to match the bedroom furniture.
3. A mirror with a decorative frame will add visual interest to your vanity.
Hang a large round or oval mirror a few inches above your vanity table. Make sure the mirror is at face level to get the most use out of your vanity. A larger mirror will give the illusion of more space in the room. Keep the frame as is or paint it a color found in your reupholstered vanity seat.
4. Use decorative sconces to add more visual interest and luxury.
Enhance visual clarity in this intense concentration area by using task lighting. Use two bulbs on either side of the mirror at face level to provide bright light for your daily routine. Hang a low-hanging chandelier above the vanity to balance the two bulbs and give the space intention and luxury.
