In order to obtain a truly coordinated vanity set, an ideal way is to buy a set that includes all three basic items: the vanity table with mirror and bench. Vanity sets have been popular for many decades and exquisite antique ones made to grace stately homes could cost thousands of dollars. However, there are sets that include table, mirror and bench that are collectibles and also modern styles for less than $100.
Antique vanity units are generally more expensive than those that feature more contemporary designs, since over the years it is not easy for the three matching items to stay together in good condition. The diligent shopper however, can find great deals on other sets, such as a metal set found at the online site eCrater.com. The cost is a mere $79. The bench is comfortably wide and there are two glass shelves. The mirror is adjustable and the set comes in two different colors: white and black, either ideal for a modern or art deco collectible design theme. For those whose decor is more traditional, and who love the look of finished wood more than metal, another entire set at TheFurnitureCove.com retails for $100. The three pieces are made from the very popular wood, cherry. Although the prices are very encouraging, they do not include shipping which could get pretty pricey for three items that must be carefully packed.
For a truly contemporary style in a vanity set, metal combined with glass is always a success and frequently very affordable. Amazon.com has a good number of vanity table, mirror and bench sets in the black or white color scheme priced at less than $100. The website eCrater.com also features similar sets. If someone likes to combine the richness and warmth of wood with a more modern look they should check out several items available at ambfurniture.com. There is a three piece set retailing at only $88. Two other sets have the look of oak and cherry finishes. Many other quite impressive looking sets are available at this same internet site selling for $110. There is a set in espresso and one in white, either one very easy to coordinate with any contemporary bathroom decor.
Price should not be totally controlling on your decision. You do not want to invest anything in a piece that does not mesh with your other decor; it will just constantly annoy. Shop first for style and color to see what looks good with your other bedroom furniture and what features and materials best suit your taste. Then you can start considering price. If you like metal as a material, sets of metal are very casual and provide a more open and spacious effect, and sometimes the metal is ornate and gives a somewhat traditional and antique appearance. If you really need vanity sets with wood finished to match your other bedroom furnishings, then choose very carefully to avoid a set that is clearly not coordinated with the other room’s furniture.
