Idea of the Week: Vanity With a Salon Touch
Tired of tossing your hot hair tools underneath your sink? This furniture designer plugs into the perfect solution
Hair can require a lot of maintenance. From gels, to hairsprays, to curling irons, to hair dryers, to diffusers — the list of hair products never seems to end. Most bathroom vanities aren't set up for all this. Wires get tangled, countertops get burned — it's a mess.
After years of designing custom bathroom furniture, The Furniture Guild has a solution.

Making use of one of the large drawers seemed to make the most sense. This pull-out is made out of two dove-tail drawers with a door that connects the two. The designers added a surface to the bottom drawer, and cut two holes into it for a hair dryer and curling iron. For the hair dryer, they put in a rubber holder for gripping different sized hair dryers. Powder-coated steel lines the curling/flat iron holder.
The blow dryer and curling iron plug into a box inside the dresser. This helps keep the wires hidden and makes it easy to close the drawer without unplugging everything.
This smart design is something these designers have begun doing on request. Since every client has different appliances in different shapes and sizes, they'll often have the homeowners take a photo of everything they want to store in the space so they can fit it all in.
