Vanity Tables

Vanity tables have probably been around for as long as mirrors. Style and features have changed throughout the centuries, however the basic function remains the same.

What Is A Vanity Table?

A vanity table is a bedroom or bathroom dressing table designed to assist in the process of looking good. As such the main requirement is the presence of one or more mirrors. One that's in place there are many design ideas available. Some vanity table have only one mirror, others have three, a main central one with two at the sides that can be angled as needed. Some have lights. Some are plain, others intricately decorated. There really is a huge choice.

Types of Vanity Table

Most vanity tables will also contain at least one drawer and possibly extra storage designed for makeup, jewelry etc. Many you can buy today come as a set with matching accessories such as a stool, bench or chair. They may also have built-in lights - the stereotypical star actor's dessing room table and lighted mirror is basically a vanity table, albeit not in a bedroom setting.

Traditionally vanity tables have been associated with women and makeup. As such delicate and traditionally "feminine" designs are most common. However with more men today taking an interest in looking good, modern vanity tables are increasingly being used by both genders and there are some more "masculine" contemporary styles on the market.

At the other end of the spectrum, kids' vanity tables are popular with young girls for playing dressing and make up games. You can buy themed sets to fit in with popular children's bedroom themes such as "princess" or fairy styles.
