Spending some time to organise the dressing table prevents the table from being messy and helps you find what you need quickly. An organized dressing table makes your morning and evening routines easier You wouldn’t like to feel rushed to search for the items you need or annoyed with the disorganized and messy spacing and nighttime routines. You wouldn’t want to feel hurried while hunting for necessary items or exasperated by a cluttered and chaotic area.
These are some easy measures to follow to create a functional dressing area and to revive a space that might be useful in making preparation easier in the morning.
1. Shed Natural light
This is especially so when your dressing table is being organised, the amount of light that is available is important. It is also desirable to place the table so that it looks at the window, with sunlight in the room helping to enhance your day. If that is not feasible then it should consider installing other sources of light like a table lamp so that the area is illuminated all the time. The best type of lamp is one that stands on its own and can be tilted and easily moved side to side so that you can light up different parts of your face at the same time and ensure that you get the perfect makeover.
2. Declutter
It’s important to carefully go through your makeup and see how long you have been using it and whether the products you use for your wash have an expired date. Get rid of anything that’s past its prime or funky, and only keep things that you adore and use on the reg. First, get rid of the items you no longer use and then assess what you have left—do you need five lipsticks or perhaps you could have three? It is thus important to be as decisive as possible when organising a dressing table to avoid a recurrence of the problem.
3. Designate Zones
Determine where to put your newly sorted items by organizing your dressing table drawers according to the zones that the products you have fallen under. The deeper drawers should be used for storing items that cannot fit into the shallow ones, for instance, hair care products, or large bottles. Other household appliances like hairdryers and heat styling tools like straighteners will also require more space.
You should store the products that are used most often in the top drawers such as make-up, skin care products, and hair products. This organization brings some structure and helps to locate something particular more easily.
4. Makeup organizer
A very simple product that will help you keep your cosmetics in order is a makeup organizer. They come in different forms and sizes and they can accommodate almost everything; from lipsticks to eyeshadows. A clear acrylic option is best for exhibiting your pieces having sections for easy reach as well as style. The more collection is added, the more they can be linked together depending on the need, and the organizers can easily be modified or added.
5. Makeup brush holders
This is why makeup brush holders are important to maintain order and neatness of a dressing table. They serve to maintain the cleanliness of the brushes and avoid the particles accumulating on the surface. There are so many styles out there that one is sure to find a style that fits the room. In case you do not wish to use a glass or perspex holder you may choose one of the following sizes or a simple pen pot-like holder.
6. Jewelry Storage Solutions
If you have a large amount of jewelry, there is nothing better than a wall-mounted organizer or a beautiful hook for the necklace and bracelets. For rings and earrings, a small drawer with some compartments will be very useful and effective. If your collection is small, a fabric pouch is enough to hold these valuable items.
7. Ornamental Bowls and Vases
Having tiny bowls or containers is quite effective in organizing items such as cotton pads, hair ties, and other accessories. These can be compactly placed on vanities and can be hidden perfectly in the drawers to minimize space consumption. There are many beautiful designs out there and you can easily get the one that you like and that also brings more character into your home. Moreover, they are functional and sometimes can be the most suitable option for ordinary things, but they look good.
8. Drawer Dividers
Shelves or dividers are ideal for your makeup, creams lotions, and other small items to be well sorted. They make specific zones for items such as eyeshadows, lip glosses, and other cosmetics making everything so easy to locate.
9. Label Everything
The next step would be to label each section after storage solutions have been put in place. This will help you to easily search for what you are looking for. You can buy ready-made ones or design your own either by typing them in a label maker or using attractive stickers.
10. On the Wall
If you are short of space, then mounted storage options may work well for you. They assist in preventing your items from being placed on the floor and also make your dressing table neat. There are many different styles to choose from and most of them will match your current decor.
11. Hooks
Hooks are convenient for keeping your things in order and your vanity neat and orderly. They are great for hanging everything you can imagine, starting with jewelry and ending with hats. As hooks are available in several types, it is easy to select the ones that will complement the rest of the decorations..
12. Dressing table mirror
A dressing table mirror provides the needed light and space in the bedroom and makes sure you have everything you need to look good. When choosing your mirror you should first look at the dressing table you have and the general decor of the bedroom. The mirror can be installed on the wall or you can purchase a floor-standing mirror to be placed on your dressing table. One more decision is whether to use one mirror or to use several mirrors according to the requirements. When you have a mirror above that is the main mirror and then two side mirrors that you can tilt to your desired angle, it is easier to style hair. Last but not least; the position of your mirrors matters a lot.
13. Rotate Seasonal Items
For those people who have many seasonal products, for instance, colorful cosmetics for the holidays, is better to put them into a different box or tray. Some of these items can be moved around occasionally to make your dressing table free from clutter. Perhaps it’s best to store them in a box or basket and hide them in an under-the-stairs cupboard or loft space so that you can get your daily items out more easily.
14. Maintenance
When it comes to cleaning, it is necessary to establish a schedule for cleaning your dressing table. It is advisable to clean it daily or perhaps weekly depending on the frequency of its usage. When you are done with an item, ensure that you return it to where it belongs to. This habit helps to reduce the formation of mess.
The surface has to be cleaned as often as possible. Cleaning wipes or soft microfiber cloth should be used to wipe the dust and other spills. These cleaning supplies are best kept close at hand so that they can be easily retrieved whenever the need arises.
It will also be useful to spray something fragranced as you clean to make the room smell nice. This not only makes the space look tidy but also allows it to smell fresh and welcoming as well, to the occupants of the house. If you include this in your daily practice, you will have a neat and pleasant experience at your dressing table.
