2 super easy steps to hack a Modern Baroque Vanity

For my room, I made a chic modern baroque vanity and makeup table.

IKEA items used

SVALNÄS Desktop (The EKBY ALEX wall shelf is an alternative)
2 LALLE Legs
UNG DRILL mirror

SVALNÄS | IKEA.com

LALLE leg | IKEA.com

Other materials:

2 steel corner braces

How to make a modern baroque vanity

Install the two legs on the front corners of the SVALNÄS desktop. Do not fix the 2 metal brackets that come with it to the desktop.

Then, use the steel corner braces to attach the desktop to the wall.

Voilà! A modern baroque vanity that looks awesome with the UNG DRILL mirror. I got a chair from the thrift shop and painted and reupholstered it to match.

#1 GRUNDTAL rails to the rescue

Squeeze a beauty bar into a tiny room with vertical storage. This idea uses the GRUNDTAL rail as the solution. Just hang all your beauty tools off it. Add a drop leaf table below should you need more “workspace”. See more.

#2 BESTÅ BURS as a slim makeup table

If you do not have space for a traditional vanity this is just right for you. Mount the shallow BESTÅ BURS to the wall below a mirror. The depth is perfect for makeup storage and is narrow enough to fit into a small bedroom. Get the details.

#3 Modern makeup table with lots of storage

Need a makeup table that’s shallow yet provides storage? You’re looking at it. This uses 2 EKBY ALEX drawers combined with metal legs. Love how very modern and classy this is. See the makeup table tutorial.

#4 Beauty bar for less

This is not a ‘hack’ as such, more of a change of item description! I have created a beauty bar within my bedroom using a selection of IKEA products. See the tutorial for the beauty bar.
