How to Decorate Your Vintage Vanity

A vintage vanity table will give your bedroom or bathroom a charming, shabby-chic style. Vanity tables are typically made of white or light color wood, and feature a large mirror, small drawers and a matching stool. The vanity table will have an old-Hollywood glamorous appeal when decorated with antiques and other feminine details. Vintage vanity tables are as useful as they are decorative, as you can use them to store makeup, hair accessories and other beauty products. Does this Spark an idea?

Instructions

1

Place a long, vintage silk scarf width-wise across the vanity table to set the stage for the decor. Choose a scarf featuring fashion and beauty-inspired designs, such as perfume bottles, purses or jewelry.

2

Organize beauty supplies in antique crystal vessels. Place cotton balls and swabs in vintage apothecary jars. Display your favorite rings and brooches on a small crystal dish.

3

Decorate with antique beauty items. Transfer perfumes into antique glass bottles and atomizers featuring vibrant shades of blue and green and ornate details. Place a vintage handheld mirror and brush set on the vanity table for an authentic look.

4

Add vibrancy and a fresh scent with flowers. Place small bouquets of sweetheart roses or pink peonies in antique milk glass vases and set one at each end of the table.

5

Add comfort and style with a soft, patterned vanity table chair cushion. Choose a cushion featuring an elegant, vintage design, such as black and white toile or pink floral calico.
