Master bathroom vanity with make-up table

11 years ago

Hi all - does anyone have a vanity in their master bathroom that includes two sinks with a make-up table/area in the middle? If so, would you mind sharing pictures? I have seen some online but difficult to find any on vanity manufacturers pages, so not sure which one to go to to design this. I don't want to have to use custom made since we are trying to minimize costs as much as possible. Thanks!

    You should be able to find a lot of pics on houzz.com

    Just curious: would you actually sit at the make-up vanity?
    Whenever I sat, my face was too far away from the mirror. Then, I had to get up to use the sink frequently. So, for me, standing by my sink is more convenient.

    I have 2 sinks and a makeup table, but the makeup table is on a different wall. Jewel makes a good point as my wife uses a freestanding mirror instead of the wall-mounted mirror when she's sitting there. It does get used regularly, though.

    Overstock sell them.

    They get ripped out and replaced with drawer storage in almost every bath remodel I've been involved in. A more functional choice is a telescoping lighted mirror mounted on a side wall and plenty of drawer storage for all of the doodads.

    I had a vanity area with two drawers running parallel to the top; it was between both sinks in my last house. The makeup section dropped down four or five inches or so from the sink vanity counters but had the same marble top. I really liked it because I could sit while making up and I had a nice lighted free standing magnifying mirror.

    In the house I am in now storage took priority as there is only one hall closet to service another bath and towels and all the rest on that end that includes three bedrooms. In this house I put vertical storage in the section I wanted a makeup vanity and a bank of drawers underneath, that still left a bit of countertop as the top section vertical is only twelve inches deep. However, I have wall mounted extension magnifying mirrors at each sink vanity and IâÂÂm actually very happy with that.

    If you do not need much extra storage go for the makeup vanity. All you need is a horizontal drawerâÂÂs bridge piece between the two sink vanities. Just make sure you position your bridge at a height compatible for comfortable vanity chair height. Edited to add: Also make sure you have a plug in that area.

    Is this a DIY? If so, you could look on ScherrâÂÂs where you could buy the cabinets all put together with the middle bridge with drawers or check out Conestoga. I buy my cabinets from Conestoga but you do have to assemble.
