The Hollywood-style modern makeup station lights is certainly not a new concept, but it has undergone many stylistic phases over the years.
This leaves us with a wide range of options (and inspirations) to choose from when deciding to create a modern makeup vanity in the bedroom, for instance.
From the more traditional makeup dressing tables with mirrors attached to the tabletop or the wall, to the more modern ones, with portable mirrors that can be easily moved around.
If you are planning to redesign your makeup station from scratch and desire a new mirror with direct lighting, here are our tips for creating your little slice of heaven at home.

First, choose a layout that minimizes clutter. Look for vanities with one or two drawers to keep makeup and tools organized yet within reach.
Next, invest in LED lighting made for makeup: long-lasting, low-energy, and heat-free. Unica’s patented I-Light lamps emit uniform 4,200 K illumination without flicker.
Finally, separate the console and mirror for maximum flexibility. Mix finishes, sizes, and frame styles to create a bespoke beauty corner.
It's not essential but highly recommended to have the possibility to choose the console and the mirror separately: being able to select different finishes, sizes, and mirror frames obviously allows for more freedom and creativity in design.

And finally, the quality of the materials and design choices ensure both longevity and the right comfort, to best enjoy the time we dedicate to ourselves and make our daily beauty routine special.
Pay attention to the quality of the materials used to produce the furniture and mirror, to avoid ending up with peeled paint or a mirror that distorts over time.
With nearly 30 years of expertise, Unica offers two ash-wood consoles (CT.WHITE and CT.BLACK) featuring a generous 100 × 50 cm tabletop. For tighter spaces, the compact Grimilde model (70 × 45 cm) fits anywhere. Pair these with four mirror lines—MDE, MH, SP, and MF—for styles ranging from minimalist to retro-chic, hi-tech, or all-wood.
A modern makeup station balances ergonomics, aesthetics, and light. Custom consoles and mirrors ensure both functionality and elegance. Ready to craft your perfect beauty corner? Contact Unica by Cantoni to design your dream vanity.
Two models of vanity desks with drawers: each model is made of ash wood, available in white or black. The CT.WHITE and CT.BLACK models offer the largest surface area, a 100cm dressing table that match well with horizontally oriented mirrors.
The even more compact Grimilde model is a small vanity table measuring just 700×450. But it allows you to set up a beauty corner even in small spaces or unusual places, not necessarily in the bedroom, for example with an original vertical Hollywood mirror.

And here are the four ranges of Unica mirrors by Cantoni, to be paired with the desks, to create your unique and original Hollywood-style dressing table:

Essential lines, anodized silver or black profile. Perfect with minimalist or industrial-style furniture, it is versatile enough for a wide number of interior interpretations.

The hi-tech effect mirror, with white or multicolored RGB LED backlighting. The uniform and diffused light framing the mirror creates an evocative atmosphere and an optical effect where the mirror seems to float, detached from the wall.

Geometric lines, light points installed in the beveled frame, in polished anodized aluminum thickness 55 mm, standard gold and silver colors (the catalog will show the other possible finishes of the aluminum frame).

The mirror with a refined solid wood frame, handcrafted in Italy. The different colors and patterns allow for a great number of decorations: retro, vintage, shabby chic. The only limit is your imagination!
All Unica mirrors are available in a wide variety of standard shapes and sizes and can also be made to measure.
