It’s that time of day again. You’re getting ready to go out and brave the world for 8 hours or so, or maybe you’re just headed out for coffee.
Either way, you need to spruce up a bit, and your bathroom vanity is always there for you.
While your vanity always serves it purpose, there comes a time at which it begins to look lackluster.
Check out these 5 bathroom vanity ideas that will revitalize your vanity.
Add a Sitting Area For Your Convenience
Some people are already in the habit of making themselves comfortable while they complete their daily beauty routine. Perhaps they have a stool or chair which they lug in front of the mirror before they groom themselves.
Of course, there is also a segment of the population that is content to stand for 10 minutes or so.
Regardless of which category you fall into, you should consider adding a sitting area to your bathroom vanity.
This area will be especially useful during long beauty sessions.
Invest in Some Shelves
Some of you are probably thinking, “What’s so chic about shelves?”
Well, everything, primarily because shelves help keep your beauty products organized and cut down on clutter.
And we all know that a cluttered vanity is not chic.
Not only do shelves help cut down on clutter, but they also perform their decorative duty. That said, if you should purchase any shelves, carefully think about the design and placement of them.
Will they be made of cedar wood? Are you aligning them vertically?
The choice is yours. Just make sure that whatever you choose works for your vanity.
Install 2 of Everything (Sinks, Mirrors, etc.) To Give Your Vanity Some Symmetry
To be fair, a combination of one sink and mirror is perfectly symmetrical.
You do have to admit, however, that the combo certainly isn’t as fancy or convenient as it could be, and your counter space might just increase twofold as a result of your efforts.
The extra counter space and mirror will allow you to store more beauty products out in the open and apply your products at the same time as your roomie.
They’re definitely a real time saver in larger households.
Put a Mirror in Your Wet Room
For most people, the wet room is worlds away from the vanity, which is why few would file this one under “bathroom vanity ideas.”
Vanity, however, doesn’t necessarily start at your vanity’s countertop.
Many people prep their skin for their beauty routines during the cleansing process, and mirrors do wonders for these people.
Furthermore, why make a mess of your vanity by applying your mud masks and exfoliating creams at it when you could do the same in your wet room and wash the residue down the drain as soon as you’re done?
One of the More Classic Bathroom Vanity Ideas: Try a Wooden Vanity
Wooden vanities have been around for years. Even so, they still have a look and feel that can enhance many bathroom designs.
While most people probably go for store-bought wooden vanities, there are several DIY projects online for those who prefer a more hands-on approach.
If you happen to be someone who is interested in eco-friendly products, a wooden vanity can still work for you. Just choose woods such as “eucalyptus, cork, and bamboo.” Since these woods grow more quickly than others, they are considered to be more sustainable choices.
