Some Vanity tables are suitable for professional use, while others are for home use.

Often vanity tables are associated with women considering they like to spend lots of time doing their makeup. However, they can also be used by men and children.

Since dressing up is a private affair, most vanity tables are usually placed in the bathroom or bedroom. Nevertheless, you can place it just about anywhere you feel comfortable.

How Can the Vanity Table be organized?

You’ll be surprised to discover how it’s quite easy to organize your items on a vanity table. A good vanity table is one that has several drawers and a big countertop.

Makeup and dressing items are many and putting them haphazardly will lead to some being lost easily. Therefore, with the drawers available you can categorize your items and put them separately in each drawer for easy access.

Earrings and necklaces can go into one drawer. Perfumes and colognes can go in another separate drawer. Face and hand towels can be placed in another and so on. With such an organization you save on time and minimize losing your items.  

If your vanity table has fewer drawers then you can make use of the countertop space to arrange bulky or big items such as lotions and perfumes, while the drawers are reserved for delicate and small items such as earrings.
