Vanity furnishings, typically a dresser with a make-up table and mirror attached, are ideal for a do-it-yourself project to brighten up your personal space. A fresh coat of paint or stain and new hardware gives your vanity an entirely new look. Focus on a few details as well, such as drawer liner installation on the inside of the drawers. Does this Spark an idea?
Paint and Stain
Use paint stripper and remove the existing paint or stain on your vanity. Paint your vanity a dark coat of brown for an elegant, formal touch or shake things up with a bright coat of hot pink or lime green. Soft cream and basic white are also ideal and create a clean canvas that works with an assortment of decor styles and spaces.
New Mirror
Add a brand new mirror to the vanity as part of the makeover. A mirror with three or four panels and enhanced lighting is a definite upgrade; another idea is having a mirror with your initials monogrammed on the top attached to the vanity. Installing a Hollywood-style mirror with lights across the top is ideal for those needing optimal lighting in the vanity area.
Hardware
New hardware such as knobs, pulls and handles are another way to dress up your vanity inexpensively. Glass hardware provides a romantic, vintage look, while chrome and metal hardware works with metal vanities that have more of a modern feel. Opt for wood if you need a durable, classic choice.
Drawer Liner
Use drawer lining in bright colors with floral, striped or dotted patterns -- all of which are enjoyable and funky options for the interior of the vanity with its special new look.The wood in the drawers of the vanity will be protected from makeup stains or other spills and the application of the lining also adds additional style and personalization to the vanity.
