Makeup station with flip-up lighted mirror?

15 years ago

Here's what I want to put in our rather tight master bath (currently in final planning): a 30" or 36" wide freestanding makeup table with storage inside and a flip-up lighted mirror. Does such a thing exist? All my searches for various permutations of "makeup table" or "makeup station" with "flip-up mirror" are turning up nothing but makeup tables with mirrors perched on top, nothing where the mirror actually folds into the makeup table. Our smallish space makes such a thing highly desirable.

I have not seen anything like what you describe but perhaps you could have it made for you.

We love working with LED lights here in Vancouver and I have done lots of custom projects.

Not really what your after but here is a link to some custom LED lighting that we have done over the past 18 months.

Yes such mirrors do exist. I looked at them and decided to go with the Robern uplift instead as it was more practical.

Hi,

I just have a minute but couldn't resist looking for a vanity for you.

This one may be too wide for your space but it looks nice...

I found this one for a pretty unbelievable price. I wonder about the quality but it did get an average of 4/5 stars from 21 reviewers.

It's a little smaller than you are looking for and neither vanity has lights but are they close to what you had in mind?

Thanks all for the replies! treasureoftheday, I did see the ones you found (thanks for doing the search), but those really look like bedroom furniture. I can't see the wood doing well in our bathroom. What I was thinking of was more utilitarian, a vanity with a recess for the mirror to fold into and storage space either under the mirror or in drawers to each side.

The reason I want to have the makeup area in the bathroom and not the bedroom or closet is that I find putting on makeup to be a messy job, so I want a sink at hand. We don't have enough room for a separate makeup area with sink, but I thought if I could squeeze in a makeup station, with its special magnifying and lighted mirror, near the single sink, it would do the job.

Seems like one more item that my mind insists should exist, but doesn't!

Do you have space for a wall cabinet? A cabinet maker could make one to fit around a wall mounted make-up mirror.

We used IKEA cabinets in our master bath and I wanted something to hide the in-wall stereo system. We used an AKURUM horizontal cabinet (the door swings up) and cut everything down so it only protrudes 6 inches from the wall.
