The key to a well-organized vanity

If you’re looking to have a productive start to your day, the key lies in organization. A well-kept vanity will allow you to access everything you need quickly. Here are some tips for designing a personalized setup:

Vanity and faucet
First you need to choose the right vanity and faucet combination. It’s best to custom pick these items so you purchase what fits your needs best. Some vanities have a few pull-out drawers to the side while others only have cabinet doors. You can select the sink in the color and finish that complements your bathroom as well. If you have a vintage bathroom design, choose a porcelain white color, and if your space is modern, opt for a glass version. There are tons of faucets from which to choose. Select from a variety of unique antique bath fixtures, one with knob handles or a simple lever.

Store everyday items on your countertop
It wastes time to reach for tucked away toiletries in cabinets that you use everyday anyway. Instead, display everything you use on top of the counter. So there is a bit of organization, use a decorative tray to house all your belongings. For example, put your makeup like eye shadows, lipsticks and brushes on the tray.

Decorative cups – Use ornate cups to store your makeup brushes. Just place them bristle side up in the container so you can reach them with ease in the morning.

Compartmentalize your drawers
Don’t just use throw everything into your vanity’s drawers when you can break up each one into segments. Pick up small plastic containers that provide the perfect range of sizes for you to compartmentalize your drawers to fit your needs.

Downsize regularly
Go through your drawers on a regular basis and clean out what you don’t use. It’s easy for all of your lotion and makeup bottles to pile up if you’re not on top of them.

Floor baskets
Don’t forget to utilize the space around your vanity as well. You can purchase a wicker basket to house your toilet paper and free up your vanity’s cabinet space as the same time.

Other tips
Choose a vanity with a double sink for a his and hers setup. If only one person is using the bathroom in the morning, you can install one sink and use the rest of the counter as free storage space.
