So your teenage daughter has been clamoring for a makeup vanity. Ah, definitely a sign she’s growing up. And it means that the two of you can head out for a different sort of shopping excursion than the usual trek through the mall, looking for make up vanities instead of trendy new clothes. Furniture shopping is always exciting, but it can get a little overwhelming when you are confronted by the myriads of modern makeup vanities with drawers, lights, mirrors and more. All the options are enough to make anyone overwhelmed.
What should you be looking for in a teen makeup vanity? Well for one thing, lots and lots of storage space. Teenagers have much larger cosmetic collections than their mothers usually do. It’s only natural, considering how much experimenting they are doing at this time, trying to figure out just how they want to look and who they want to be.
To work in all that storage space, you’ll want to either look for bedroom makeup vanities with lots of drawers, or ones that have a lot of counter space. Your daughter will probably want to have a lot of space to spread out anyway, so here’s a good way to judge how much space it ideal. Buy a desktop letter blotter that she can keep on top of her vanity. This will not only protect the counter top and keep it clean, but will also give her enough space to work with. Then ideally, you should have a good foot on either side of the blotter, leaving plenty of space for her to use desktop organizers for more storage. There are also many wood makeup vanities for sale which come with a small hutch on the back of the desktop which can be a more elegant alternative to the organizers.
Lighting is also very important. You will need to decide if you want to look at lighted makeup vanities with bulbs around or at the top of the mirror, or if you want to just use your own lighting instead. You can use frosted wall sconces on either side of the mirror for soft, but powerful lighting. In addition, you should probably get a magnifying mirror that has a built-in light for detailed makeup application.
Another factor to consider is style. From vintage or antique makeup vanities to more sleek and modern styles, there are definitely plenty of choices. Try to consider not just what your daughter’s tastes are now, but what they will be in the future as well, as you want this table to last her into womanhood. For most, simple but contemporary makeup vanities are a good choice, one that will work with a variety of decor themes, and one that won’t quickly be tired of.
