Make Up Room Ideas

With people spending a lot more time at home as a result of the pandemic, it’s no wonder that they are finding themselves rethinking the space they use in their homes. Those areas that aren’t working as well as they could be or what is lacking in the home becomes heightened. Maybe one of those issues is a lack of a dedicated area for putting on make-up and general grooming. If you’re fortunate enough to have a spare room that can be used as a make-up room, lucky you! However, it’s possible to have make-up room ideas that can translate to even the smallest of spaces!

Make-up Room Ideas for Different Spaces

Utilising every last space in your home doesn’t need to mean that you’re going to clutter the property - the important thing is to choose the right furniture. Key pieces can become part of the overall home décor style while crucially also remaining functional. Try to take a step back and critically look at underutilised areas of your home. Do you have some space under your stairs for example that is serving little purpose? With the addition of a small, pretty table (with storage to keep clutter out of the way), stool and mirror, this could easily be a make-up area! The Ashby is a contemporary finished dressing table and stool set that could seamlessly blend in even in an entrance hallway or under a stairs!

With clever storage, your own bedroom can also double up as a make-up room - think of items like separate mirrors as hero pieces that can be added over existing bedroom furniture such as a tall chest of drawers like this strong-on-storage Brighton Reclaimed 7 Drawer Unit. At 115cm in height (approx 3 feet), this would be perfect for a standing make-up area with a mirror such as the simple, sleek and stylish Java mirror placed over it. The classy Bergen 6 drawer unit is a lower option for a standing make-up area. Lots of table-top space and lots of storage for your make-up and clothes - perfect!

Seating in Your Ideal Make-Up Room

When it comes to make-up room ideas, you don’t have to always go with a dressing table, stool, mirror set. It’s your room, you lay the rules so why not think outside the box for your furniture for this glamour zone! A real way to make an expression is with a comfy but standout seat for when you’re prepping your make-up looks.

A fantastic choice for your make-up table seating is the Lily Occasional Chair - it actually comes in different colours if you don’t like the pink hue and it is a wonderful statement piece at a great price! For something even more luxe (we adore the gold trim!) and still in the pink colour scheme, you could add the Sofia Pink Velvet Accent Chair; it also comes in a choice of navy, charcoal and green so you'll easily find one to fit your decór. Or what about the amazing vibrancy of the Paloma Ruby Velvet Chair - it’s classed as a dining chair but we think the slimline nature of this would be the perfect make-up room addition...and what’s not to covet about the stunning colour!

Extra Storage in a Make-Up Room

Whether your make-up room is a standalone room or part of your bedroom, you’re likely going to need extra storage. Storage furniture is versatile as it can be used to display your favourite, pretty items but also as the name suggests, it allows you to store away products and make-up tools when not in use. Depending on the level of storage you need, you could consider something that makes an industrial statement such as the Sonoma Display Cabinet. This is a beautiful piece of furniture with glazed doors and lots of storage options including two deep drawers. It’s an attractive oak cabinet with a timeless distressed finish. The Oakham Dark Grey Bookcase would be another stellar choice; it has three adjustable shelves to display your products (on their own or in baskets) and tools like hair dryers etc. There is also one large storage drawer to store away any clutter.

Other smaller pieces of furniture to cover storage issues in your new make-up room would be the stunning Bergen Blanket Box. It’s a really durable and stylish piece made from gorgeous Acacia hardwood in a parquet pattern. It has lots of storage space and would be a statement addition to the room. A more neutral option would be the Kent Small Bookcase; with its solid oak and oak veneer top, it’s a compact but stylish option that still provides good storage potential for smaller spaces.
