Vanities, you know those small table-cum-cabinets with the mirror on top, and benches or chairs to match, are indispensable to women's bedrooms.
It is the place where you would dress, the place where you could admire and enhance your beauty, the place that belongs to you and nobody else.
It serves to hold your cosmetics, your brushes and combs, and other essential and personal possessions.
It gives you the mirror to examine yourself and help you dress.
It also gives you the place where you can sit and go into reveries or dreams while you brush your hair, if you so wish.
Both functionally as well as emotionally, not having bedroom vanities would be a loss.
Choosing vanities require effort and careful consideration.
You would need to first decide what purpose the piece would serve.
Whether it is for purely functional purposes or do you need it to be decorative too? Besides this you must also consider the rest of your bedroom pieces as well as whether you want the piece to be modern or traditional.
If you want to go for purely functional vanities or if you do not like ostentation then check out modern pieces which use minimalist design.
They have clear, clean, and straight look.
They are elegant yet simple.
If your bedroom makes use of a simple style then this would be the piece for you.
It would have essentials such as drawers, countertop, and mirror so there is no cause of concern there.
Among decorative vanities you could go for traditional wood sets, Victorian pieces, or metal or wrought iron pieces.
Traditional style wood sets would be somewhere in the middle between purely functional and highly decorative.
They will have elegant decorations and designs but won't have too detailed intricacies and additives.
Victorian pieces and wrought iron sets would be more delicately carved and ornate.
These are expensive and would be heavy as well.
Metal sets would be inexpensive and light weight and yet elegant.
They would serve well in small bedrooms where you cannot have more ornate or heavy pieces.
You could get bedroom vanities in any store which sells bedroom furniture.
They are available online as well.
Flea markets and antique shops would also be good places to search.
A thing to note while buying a vanity is that every set would not have every piece.
Sometimes you will have to buy the mirror separately, in others the chair or the bench.
Take that into account while you calculate your costs.
