1) Invest in a Good Vanity
Investing in a good vanity is important. You want it to be a place you look forward to using. Ideally, your vanity should have plenty of room for all of your products, be well lit, have a mirror that is large enough for you to see your face clearly when applying makeup or hair styling, and have plenty of storage space.
2) Get Some Drawer Organizers
Drawers are often the most overlooked area when it comes to organizing. It’s not hard to forget about them until your makeup is spilling out all over the floor the moment you open them. Luckily, there are a number of vanity organization ideas you can implement in order to get your drawers under control. Check out these drawer organizers!
3) Sort Your Makeup
Vanity organization ideas are a great way to organize your space, de-clutter, and make your room feel more comfortable. When you get dressed in the morning, you have a lot of things on your mind: what you need to wear, what shoes go best with the outfit, how much time you need for breakfast before rushing out the door. The last thing on your list should be “where in the world do I put my makeup’? Makeup is expensive, and it’s worth investing in some vanity organization so that everything has its place. You can start by sorting your makeup according to category – lipsticks, eye shadows, nail polish – and then alphabetizing them or organizing them by color. If you’re feeling really ambitious, try sorting all your beauty tools by type! Then, if you want to add an extra layer of protection for your expensive cosmetics, store them inside the drawer or attach a magnetic strip on the backside of the mirror where they’ll always be within reach but not visible from the front side.
4) Put Away Your Hair Tools
You probably found out the hard way that hair dryers, curlers, and straighteners can take up a lot of space. If you’re looking for a way to get your vanity area organized without sacrificing style, try these four ideas.
1) One quick and easy idea is to put all your hair tools on a stylish tray which also doubles as decoration.
2) Store your smaller items in cute little jars that are just as decorative as they are functional!
3) Another solution is using a DIY shoe organizer with hooks for more storage.
4) Put a few hooks on the back of doors or cabinets- make it easier than ever to hang robes or other clothing so they don’t take up any extra space!
5) Use Mason Jars
Mason jars are one of the best small storage items for your vanity. They’re fairly inexpensive, come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and can be customized to suit your needs. Store away small makeup and hair items on your vanity with mason jars.
