As every makeup maven knows, the key to a good face is a quality base. The same applies to your vanity. When looking for a foundation for your vanity, remember: Storage is vital. Look for a desk with space to store those practical products you want to keep out of sight and out of the light, like creams with anti-aging properties that break down in sunlight.

Desktop or drawer organizers are easy to find and cheap, and will make your life much easier.
