For a simple, clean and elegant look, store all of your makeup inside the vanity’s drawers and leave the top for a bouquet of flowers and a pretty lamp. Though simple, it’s a feminine look fitting for a makeup vanity.

Add a polished look to a wooden makeup vanity with a piece of glass cut to fit the top. Not only does it look pretty, it also serves to protect the wood from the beating of makeup stains. Pretty trays are used to corral scented sprays, nail polish and other items, while glass jars hold an assortment of makeup brushes.

Clear glass trays and floating shelves are a beautiful way to both decorate and organize your makeup vanity.

Here, a simple white desk and elegant white mirror combine for a beautiful makeup vanity. The black and white jars hold supplies, while the books are an unexpected touch.

Color is used to decorate this makeup vanity beautifully. The lampshade, print, books and flower all coordinate in light shades of pink perfect for a feminine space.

If you’re lucky enough to be able to design a makeup space like this, utilize the glass front cabinets to hold all your beauty supplies. Love the sconces set into the mirror!

Candy jars are a great way to hold essentials while decorating your space. The zebra chair doesn’t hurt, either!

Instead of a large mirror, decorate with inspiring prints hung all around the vanity.

Try a large, vintage mirror like this one behind your makeup desk. Search your local thrift shop or flea market to try to locate one that appeals to you.

A pretty makeup area doesn’t have to be all white, pink and glass. This one is done in bright colors for a fun bohemian effect.

For someone who doesn’t have an elaborate stash of makeup use a tray that you can easily decorate and store anywhere. The prints set behind it are total perfection!

Even a second-hand desk that needs a little bit of love can be turned into a makeup vanity with genuine character. And what a great place to display a wedding photo!

One way to decorate your makeup vanity is to echo the theme of the house. This particular vanity is inside a beach house.

Here’s a genius idea: store your makeup in the vanity, but under a cut-to-fit piece of glass. You can see everything, and it becomes its own decoration.
