9 Modern Makeup Vanity Tables
There’s something super luxurious about having a designated spot to sit down and do your makeup or morning routine. But if you’ve ever tried shopping for a makeup vanity table, you may have run into a few hiccups.
Sometimes the designs can look a bit outdated and rarely fit into a modern aesthetic. Other times, the prices can be less than wallet-friendly. Also, if your bedroom or beauty space is tight, that can be a major hinderance to finding a small-space friendly design. So we hunted down some makeup vanity sets that aren’t just beautiful, but also functional for anyone who needs a dedicated space for getting ready in the morning. Bonus: Some of these can even double as a suitable workspace or desk.
Here are our 9 favorite makeup vanity tables for a range of budgets and space needs.
Modern Makeup Vanity Tables

Amazon
$139.99
For a classically chic vanity, try this Amazon vanity desk that’s equal parts glam and classic. It’s the gold legs that really make the piece stand out. Though it’s great for a small space (it measures just under 40 inches wide), the vanity desk has a surprising amount of storage. Choose to tuck things away in the two deep drawers, but there are also three compartments on the actual desk. This is perfect for items you reach for more often or those pretty bottles of perfume you want to display.

This vanity from Wayfair is sure to make you feel like you have your personal salon tucked away in the nook of your bedroom. The two colorway options include black and white or gold and white, but it’s the functional design that’s truly stellar. The vanity includes a lighted mirror and several storage configurations to store products of all sizes. There’s even an attached holder on the side for a blow dryer. Also, unlike some vanities, this one comes with a matching stool.

Gold accents are at the tips of the wooden legs, the trim of the tabletop, and the metal handles have a luxe look. Also, the vanity measures almost 50 inches wide, so this provides a large surface for someone who has the space to spare or who tends to have a sizable amount of products.
