If you believe that getting dressed isn't just a daily necessity, but a morning ritual, you're likely always on the lookout for the best bedroom vanity ideas. They're probably as important to you as the next Macy's sale or social event.
Creating a bedroom with a vanity area is a smart move and doesn’t always require as much space as you think. Your dressing room space and walk-in closet ideas can start small, as clever cabinetry – whether commissioned or bought off the peg – will maximize bedroom storage space for a smart and streamlined look.
Bedroom vanity ideas
When choosing a bedroom vanity, think about the practicalities – how your vanity will work day to day – as well as its aesthetics. Striking the right balance between these two elements will make for a long-lasting, functional design that you will love.
1. A neutral color will give you longevity

'When selecting a dressing table, the trick is to treat it as an investment piece to be treasured for years to come,' says Paul Deckland, product director at Cotswold Company . 'As such, it is wise to opt for a neutral bedroom color. This allows you to mix and match the piece with other furniture in the room and ensures its longevity if you choose to redecorate, as it is sure to suit almost any color palette and setting.
'
2. Incorporate curves into a fitted vanity

'We placed the vanity by the window as we wanted to make the most of the abundant natural light in the space,' says Noor Charchafchi, CEO and founder of Celine Interior Design . 'The joinery of the vanity is the same as the closets so that the space flows, but we decided to add a curved edge to the vanity and then reflect that soft curve in our choice of chair. This leads to a soft, feminine style that works well in the room.'
3. Place a decorative vanity against plain walls

'For those who love a more maximalist decor look, our handcrafted mother-of-pearl dressing tables and stools are perfect pieces for the bedroom,' says Lou Graham, founder of Graham & Green . 'With beautiful intricate patterns, these pieces also have a feminine quality which creates the perfect balance for those seeking more decorative pieces for their bedroom or dressing room.

4. Make yours multifunctional

'We love to select pieces that are bold, yet functional,' says Jessica Lagrange Interiors . 'This desk acts as a bedside table, a small bedroom vanity, and a place to send some final emails before bed. The ottoman can be easily tucked away when not in use for space optimization.'
5. Consider your bedroom's style

‘When it comes to choosing a vanity for your bedroom, think about the style of the particular space you have to work with,' says OKA’s co-founder, Sue Jones. 'If you have bolder wallpaper or lots of color like in this cozy corner, I find it works best to go with a slightly more understated piece, so as not to overwhelm the room. This is especially important if it’s smaller. Whatever the size of your dressing area, I think it’s nice to have a luxurious feel, so I’d go for a richly colored velvet seat; a versatile ottoman is a great addition.
'
6. Free up space with a custom vanity

‘A dressing table is a brilliant way of bringing a calm and relaxed ambiance within a bedroom, creating a place to prepare for the day with well-organized storage saving precious time that may otherwise be spent searching for the daily essentials,' says Caroline Milns, head of interior design at Zulufish .
'Opting for a bespoke piece will ensure a vanity fits neatly within your room, and as these can be smaller in size than other pieces of bedroom furniture, a vanity can often occupy a space that may be overlooked within the room. Adding a bedroom mirror to the wall will ensure more surface space and will also reflect more light into the room.'
7. Utilize an alcove for a unique vanity space

Bedroom alcove ideas offer a wealth of options for the room’s design. This contemporary vanity shows how to make the most of what you have, a simple shelf in an alcove that allows you to sit underneath on a uber fluffy stool is all you need.
The window will give you plenty of natural light, just pick a mirror and you're away.
8. Give a vintage vanity pride of place

'Set up your vanity in front of the window for the best lighting,' says Joanna Baumard, co-founder of Purlfrost . 'Incorporating decorative window film into the lower windowpanes distracts from grey days or unsightly views, allowing you to celebrate floral blooms throughout the entire year. Application is stress-free, simply spray the window and film with water and apply, making sure to smooth out any air bubbles and wrinkles.'
9. Repurpose an antique console as a vanity

A beautiful mahogany piece of furniture can be used as a vanity, especially if it comes with drawers. 'Source a mirror that can sit on the top and pop a lamp and vase of flowers for light and color,' says Andrea Childs, editor, Country Homes & Interiors
10.
Invest in luxury metals in an apartment bedroom(Image credit: Mendelson Group/Eric Piasecki)
Small bedroom storage ideas are all about keeping the space clutter-free, but that doesn't mean you should skimp on the details. An apartment bedroom, no matter the size or shape, can still feel luxurious.
'The brass vanity and layered accents in this primary bedroom provide a hit of glamor and contrast against the softer, blue-green color palette,' says Gideon Mendelson, founder, and creative director at Mendelson Group .
11. Like matching furniture? Opt for a co-ordinating vanity

‘There’s a lot to be said for coordinating furniture in a bedroom setting; using the same tone of wood and fabric throughout the room ensures a cohesive scheme to maximize relaxation,' says Feather & Black's buyer, Laura Burnett. 'The same rule applies when it comes to your vanity unit. By avoiding clashing and mismatched tones, a matching item retains the room's unifying color palette, whilst ample storage hides unsightly clutter.
Whether you go for strong, bold tones, or opt for something a little more calming; matching the key items of furniture will enable your scheme to transition timelessly through years of decorating, updates and changes.'

Interesting ideas for dressing room
dressing room dressing room equipment storage systems
It is difficult to imagine a modern home of a successful and fashion-conscious person without a dressing room. But in order for all this variety of clothes, shoes and accessories to become not just another chaotic heap stuffed on the shelves and hanging untidy on hangers, certain organizational and distribution work should be carried out.
nine0003
The dressing room design ideas proposed in this article are not so much a decorative and aesthetic improvement in its appearance as a real help in creating absolute order and saving the space allotted for the existence of clothing. Indeed, for many girls and women, storing clothes is an integral and significant part of life.
Color range
Not so little depends on the color of the walls and shelves, namely, the perception of wardrobe items and oneself in them. The color palette can be based on anything: the color of the eyes, the overall tone of the wardrobe, even the shade of a set of hangers brought from European fashion boutiques. It is recommended to follow the only rule: the color of the dressing room should not "clog" the clothes themselves - for this reason, bright, flashy tones and a large contrasting pattern are excluded. If you have any difficulties with the choice, stop at white: dressing rooms in white are always a win-win solution.
Design
In the dressing room, everything should be thought out to the smallest detail: open drawers and doors should not interfere with each other; if the cabinets are too shallow in depth, they will not allow you to comfortably place hangers of the right size, and excessively deep ones will irrationally take up free space. Closely hung clothes with a lack of space will stop breathing and lose their attractive appearance and brightness of colors. nine0003
Drawers and rails
The use of various retractable structures is undoubtedly much more convenient than the usual static shelves. Why? Because it is much more convenient to find the right thing in a drawer, and if they are also made with a transparent mesh surface, then you don’t have to shake all the carefully stacked items at all.
The pull-out rods on which the hangers are placed are also something worth paying attention to, since it undoubtedly also increases the convenience of finding a certain piece of clothing.
nine0003
Lighting
Built into niches with rows of hangers and clothes placed on it, lamps or LED lights on the shelves with shoes will give the dressing room a somewhat magical sound. Unlike general lighting, located somewhere up there, under the ceiling, such lighting allows you to examine in detail and find the necessary thing.
Proper lighting should be as close to natural as possible: it should not be too bright, distort or muffle the colors of fabrics.

Mirrors
If the size of your dressing room allows, it should certainly contain the most naturally lit full-length mirror , much better if there are not one, but three such mirrors: full face and two profiles, left and right. This trick will allow you to carefully examine and evaluate your appearance in the selected outfit.
Mirrors can be either a separate item or built into cabinet doors, which will save overall space. You can also make the back wall of the dressing room mirrored if it is small in size: made with backlight, it will visually enlarge the dressing room and become a useful addition for its hostess.
nine0003
Zone separation
This technique is possible with significant areas allocated for the dressing room: dividing the space into zones. Zoning can be organized according to completely different criteria :
• seasonal division - summer clothes, winter or demi-season;
• a separate zone for each member of the family;
• depending on the purpose of and area of use - sportswear, casual wear, evening wear, etc.;
• color palette - white, dark, red, etc.
Such dressing rooms are often equipped with a comfortable place to relax: a sofa with a coffee table or a comfortable ottoman, which, in the presence of a hollow interior space, can also become an original storage place.
nine0003
For men and women
Yes, the dressing room has its own character.
Designed for men, it should have a more concise and strict style, with a predominance of gray, black or beige tones and specific clear lines. If it's a purely feminine nook, the dressing room has much softer touches, fittings and tones. You can "dress" it in covers and boxes created in the same style. A variety of collections of covers and wardrobe trunks are now produced. nine0003
Top shelves
Of course, any space, and even more so the space of the dressing room, should be used to the fullest - and here shelving, cabinets and mezzanines to the ceiling will come to the rescue. But how then to get there? A stylish solution instead of a traditional stool can be a convenient and reliable ladder . Now getting to the uppermost "floors" is not at all a problem: without fear of falling, with the help of a stable ladder, you can carefully examine what is stored there and choose the right one.
nine0003
On the upper shelves, it is still recommended to store things that are not very popular or not suitable for the season. The use of wardrobe trunks, covers for clothes and boxes will help to prevent a thick layer of dust from settling on these wardrobe items.
Cabinet doors
They may or may not be. If they are nevertheless assumed, then the material used for them is important:
• solid plastic or wooden doors will give a completely monumental look not only to the closet, but also to the dressing room as a whole;
• but glass doors will bring elegance and weightlessness to - besides, they allow you to instantly assess the contents of the cabinet, which, of course, in this case should be in exemplary order.
The opaque wardrobe door can be used as additional storage space: if the depth of the wardrobe allows, it is quite possible to place a hanging organizer for bags or a special shelf for shoes, underwear or accessories on the door.
If the closet is not so deep, then specialized hangers for scarves, ties, belts and belts will be safely and comfortably located on the door. nine0003
And remember: closed wardrobes always give the impression of neatness and tidiness , even if in reality there is a pile of unsorted dresses and jeans behind the door.
Simple Solutions
Often, instead of a chic dressing room, you have to literally bite off the space of other rooms by centimeters. One of the very affordable ideas for the optimal use of living space can be a ceiling bar purchased at any furniture store, on which, with the right selection of hangers in harmony with the overall interior of the room, you can very successfully place everyday clothes. nine0003
Pantograph (or "furniture lift")
Not all the owners of a large wardrobe know about this thing, but in many ways it is able to make life easier for both clothes and its owner.
