11 Pretty & Practical Vanity Table Accessories

• Magnus Table Mirror, $38

Mirror, mirror, on the wall, you’re not exactly ideal for applying eyeliner. When you need a close-up, turn to this table mirror. It’s angled to give you the best view for precision tasks and, at 10 1/4 inches wide, lets you take in your face as a whole.

• Brass and Marble Jewelry Holder, $30

Keep your everyday jewelry at hand to streamline your morning routine. This 10-inch brass and marble stand helps necklaces and bracelets stay untangled, but its best feature is subtle: The base features a slight dip to keep rings and earrings safely corralled, too.

• Tate LED USB Table Lamp, $149

Even in a room full of natural light, some tasks (and some times of day) need directional light. This slim lamp won’t hog the tabletop and the head swivels to shine exactly where you need it. You can even pull double-duty and charge your phone while you primp via a USB port on the base.

• Ultimate Beauty Rotating Organizer, $49

It’s a makeup miracle: a rotating shelf with large enough compartments to store a realistic number of cosmetics, and without cheesy ornamentation. Yes, it’s meant for teens, but it’s impossible to outgrow smart organizers.

• Aprington Faux Hydrangea Bouquet, $158

Get your nature cure first thing in the morning with a vase full of lush flowers. But here’s the genius part: These require no water changes, won’t litter petals all over the vanity table, and will never die because they’re made of silk! Each piece of greenery and petal is so carefully rendered that you’d be forgiven for leaning in for a sniff.

• Brass Lift Coasters, $68 for set of 4

X marks the spot for your morning mug, nighttime glass of pinot, or, ok, cleansing glass of water. These brass coasters keep your vanity table free of water rings and look darn glam while doing it. They come as a set of four so your nightstand doesn’t have to feel left out.

• Summer Harvest Trinket Dish in Lemon, $14

We’re betting even Marie Kondo keeps a trinket dish around. It’s so handy for storing bobby pins and hair bands, or for safely tucking rings while you apply lotion. This sweet lemon cup has our nod, but any small dish or saucer will work.

• Brooklyn Candle Studio Candle – Love Potion #9, $35

Sometimes a moment of zen is just a matchstick away. This container candle is subtly scented with relaxing lavender, jasmine, and mandarin oils, and—with a 60-hour burn time—will help you keep your cool for months. Even sweeter: It’s made in Brooklyn with nontoxic vegetable wax.

• Palermo Body Vitality Aromatherapy Oil, $32

In this day and age, self-care is a nationwide obsession. Swipe on this energizing body oil with notes of jasmine, sandalwood, and cardamom, and you’ll be walking into Monday morning like you’re Beyoncé after headlining Coachella.

• AllModern Irwin 3-Piece Hourglass Set, $47

The clock is ticking but sometimes it’s not enough. We need a visual cue. Enter the old-fashioned hourglass. It’s still a brilliant way to see how much time you have left before you’re due out the door. This set lets you track 5-, 15-, and 30-minute segments.

• Personalized Makeup Bag, from $22

For gym days, party days, and any day when your look and scent need a re-up, have a cosmetics bag on hand. We’re obsessed with this pouch’s small leather monogram—so simple, so chic.
