Bathroom vanities made by Mid-Century Modern designers — as well as those associated with Art Deco — are very popular at 1stDibs. Many bathroom vanities are appealing in their simplicity, but Bodafors, Carl Malmsten and Arne Vodder produced popular bathroom vanities that are worth a look.

How Much are Bathroom Vanities?

Prices for bathroom vanities start at $150 and top out at $92,236 with the average selling for $3,500.

Finding the Right Vanities for You

Vintage vanities trace back to the dressing tables of 18th-century France, where the poudreuse held powders and mirrors for a lady's toilette. The look later split in two: the gilded flourish of Art Deco and Louis XV, and the pared-back simplicity of the mid-century makeup vanity.

Styles to Know

Mid-century makeup vanities with slim tapered legs are seeing strong search interest, though Art Deco vanities with mirrored or lacquered finishes remain a popular choice for more formal bedrooms. A vintage mirror completes the piece if it doesn't already include one, and a vintage table lamp adds flattering light.

How to Choose the Right Vintage Vanity

A vanity works best near a window or another source of natural light, worth keeping in mind when planning where it will sit, and the knee-clearance height is worth checking against the stool you intend to pair with it. Each piece comes from a vetted 1stDibs seller, with era, designer and condition detailed. Backed by the 1stDibs Promise on every order.
