A makeup vanity isn’t just for adults — kids and teens love having a dedicated space for creativity, self-care, and organization too. With IKEA’s affordable and modular furniture, you can create a functional and stylish vanity area tailored perfectly for young users.
Here are some of our favorite makeup vanity ideas using IKEA products that are perfect for children’s or teen bedrooms:
1. The Floating Vanity Look
Use the EKBY ALEX wall shelf with drawers to create a floating vanity that saves floor space. Mount a round mirror above and add a small stool — perfect for small rooms or shared spaces.
2. The Dresser-to-Vanity Hack
Convert an IKEA MALM 3-drawer chest into a vanity by placing a tabletop mirror and organizing makeup with SKADIS pegboards on the wall behind. Add some LED lights around the mirror for a glam touch.
3. The Compact Corner Vanity
Use LACK side tables stacked or paired with the MIRROR LOTS wall mirror tiles to turn any corner into a stylish makeup nook for tweens and teens.
4. The Rolling Vanity Cart
For flexibility and mobility, the RÅSKOG utility cart is a fun and functional vanity alternative — perfect for storing makeup, skincare, and hair accessories. Pair it with a clip-on mirror and it can roll anywhere!
5. Kid-Friendly Vanity Zone
For younger children, use a FLISAT children’s table with a small standing mirror and clear TROFAST bins to organize pretend play makeup and brushes. Add a child-sized chair and some wall decals for flair.
Bonus Tip: Add STRALA LED light strips around the mirror or under the tabletop to make the vanity feel magical and grown-up — a little touch that kids and teens will absolutely love.
Whether you’re working with a compact room or designing a fun teen makeover station, IKEA vanity hacks are a playful and practical way to personalize a space.
