Do-It-Yourself Minimalistic Vanity


Hey #simplelifesociety! If you’ve followed the steps in decluttering your cosmetics, now is the time to create a chic minimalist makeup vanity! If you don’t have a large collection, and want a clean and simple look, this project is for you. It is budget friendly, and can accommodate any style depending on what you purchase.

What You’ll Need

*Use marble contact paper to get the look!

*prices vary, check out your nearest discount store!

*re-purposed a mason jar for mine

Vanity Chair/Ottoman (Ghost chair)

Tools and Hardware

Dry wall anchors + screws

Hammer

Tape Measure

Nails

1. Start Fresh Find a spot with natural light (preferred) and get it prepped. Start by clearing your space and gathering only the minimal amount of makeup needed for your daily beauty routine. Clean

  • Wipe down makeup organizers/drawers with damn cloth

  • Wipe down makeup products, compacts, etc. (you'll thank me!)

  • Deep clean or spot clean makeup brushes

2. Organize

  • Organize your makeup brushes.

  • Only place your frequently used brushes at arms reach on the table.

  • Sort compacts, makeup palettes, lip products by type

  • Organize your makeup necessities in small boxes or use a drawer organizer

3. Storage A small table with or without a drawer should be enough surface space.

  • Hold tower up to the wall to the desired placement

  • Mark 4 points where the tower will hang securely

  • Use dry wall anchors and screws at 4 points

  • Depending on your walls, or if you are able to find a stud, use anchors to hold the tower securely.

Hang storage tower and adjust the screws to securely hold the tower in place. 4. Set up vanity table top!

  • Center your vanity mirror

  • Place brushes next to makeup organizer

  • Have frequently used items nearby (foundation, palette)

  • Add a stylish accent piece for decor (succulent plant)

5. Decor Pieces Hang a decorative canvas or piece of artwork to set the mood or make a statement!

Makeup Canvas Artwork

Product/Brush holder suggestions:

  • Decorate mug

  • Mason jar

  • Decorative pot

Adding a trendy succulent or small decor piece personal to you will customize the space as your own!

6. Seating Add a stylish vanity chair or ottoman!

Ottomans work best for smaller spaces to tuck underneath the table. I used an extra ghost chair and added a touch of sophistication with a white faux fur pillow!

I hope you got inspired to create your very own minimalistic vanity! To see how I organized and designed mine, watch the following video:
