Every girl needs a small makeup nook or even a large one – it depends on the amount of space you have. This nook should be comfortable in using and you should have everything at hand here to create makeup fast and effectively. How to create such a comfy space? Let’s have a look at some tips and examples.
Dressing Table/Vanity
Your vanity is the main thing in your beauty nook, choose it according to your space style and colors. if you have enough space, choose a vanity you like – it can be a vintage desk turned into a vanity, a large sleek white vanity with a glass top – such a solution is great in case you spill something on the tabletop, you’ll be able to clean the top easily. Most of vanities (or desks) have drawers, and it’s great for storage. If there’s little space, think a small vanity or even a floating one, even a narrow shelf would do. Maybe it won’t be that comfortable to sit there but even a shelf is enough for makeup.

Light
Any beauty nook needs much light, and we all know that natural light is preferable for makeup. That’s why making a windowsill beauty nook or just placing your vanity next to the window is a great idea that guarantees much natural light. But don’t forget some additional light, it can be a table lamp, a wall one or several ones or maybe a trendy makeup mirror with lights on both sides. There are also options with light frames, which look amazing, and the further the vanity from the window is, the more additional light you’ll need. Get inspired!
