Makeup Room Decor Ideas

Hollywood Light Mirror

A bedroom inspired by a love for makeup simply must have a Hollywood mirror fitted with bright, dazzling lights. Hollywood mirrors may seem extravagant, but hundreds of online stores sell great-quality mirrors at affordable prices. Just be sure to invest in a quality mirror that will last you some years. You will find more affordable options online, but it's always worth shopping in stores like Ikea so you can see the real thing!

Makeup Desk

We’ve all seen those iconic makeup desks used by beauty influencers, fitted with over 20 drawers filled with their endless stores of products. Surprisingly, you can find these sleek draws just about anywhere, with many people selling pristine draws second-hand on marketplaces such as Facebook and eBay. Just make sure that your Hollywood mirror will fit onto the desk without taking up too much space, and consider a glass protector for the top of your desk. Why do you ask? Because you’re guaranteed to get hundreds of makeup stains when you create beautiful artwork on your and your friend's faces!

Display Shelving

Picture this: tall, white shelving on each side of your desk, showcasing some of your most luxurious make-up products, perfumes, and the occasional pampas grass in a vase here and there. This is such a chic way to add some fengshui into your space. Adding the occasional fake plant or flowers here can add a pop of colour and a feminine touch too!

LED Signage

If you want your makeup room to feel like a full-blown salon, you need some LED signage. Think of the words “Makeup Obsessed” shining in soft yellow LED lighting whilst you paint on pretty faces. Or go for an LED sign with changeable lighting, and adjust with soft pinks and blues when you have friends around. This can take your room from drab to fab!

Draw Organisers

This is a secret weapon for all makeup rooms. Draw organizers will be your best friend, especially when you have hundreds of products all requiring their special place. This way, that bronzer that you forgot about won't be lost, and you can store all of your brown lipliners in one place!

Skincare Mini Fridge

Last but certainly not least, you need to invest in a skincare fridge. The perfect makeup base is only achieved with a great skincare routine, so be sure to adorn your desk with a mini skincare fridge. Keep all of your face masks, SPF and moisturisers in there for a cooling effect before starting your makeup each morning.

Comfy Seating

You’ll be spending a lot of time in your makeup room, so you need a comfy seat! Go for a plush boucle stool, an ergonomic chair with a chic design, or even a stylish accent chair with a luxury cushion for extra cosiness. Bonus points if it swivels, because who doesn’t love a dramatic chair spin after finishing a flawless look?

Mood Lighting

Besides your Hollywood mirror, adding some extra mood lighting can transform your makeup space into a dreamy oasis. Fairy lights draped around shelves, soft lamp lighting, or even color-changing LED strips behind your desk can create the ultimate glam vibe.

Aesthetic Brush Holders

Those makeup brushes deserve to be displayed in style. Instead of tossing them in a drawer, invest in some cute brush holders, acrylic cups, marble pots, or even DIY-ed glass jars with pearls or crystals inside. Not only will this keep your brushes clean and organized, but it will also add to the room’s aesthetic.

Full-Length Mirror

A makeup room isn’t complete without a full-length mirror. Whether you’re checking out your final glam look or piecing together an outfit to match, a sleek, oversized mirror is a must-have. Bonus points if it has LED lights around it for extra drama.

Statement Rug

A fluffy rug instantly elevates the coziness and style of your space. Go for a faux fur rug for a soft, luxurious feel, or a chic patterned rug to add some personality. Plus, it makes standing barefoot while blending your foundation way more enjoyable!

Final Thoughts

With these cute and aesthetic additions, your makeup room will be the ultimate beauty sanctuary. Whether you're getting ready for a night out, filming a tutorial, or just playing around with new looks, your space will feel organised, stylish, and of course Instagrammable!
