Bathroom Vanity: Which One Should You Buy?
Buying the perfect bathroom vanity can be a challenging task, especially with all of the different styles and materials out there.
Bathroom vanities can come in many different shapes, sizes, colors, and designs. Choosing one can seem daunting, but it doesn’t have to be so bad if you know your options beforehand. There are many types of bathroom vanities, including wood, metal, or laminate cabinetry, either solid surface or veneer over particle board/MDF. Bathroom vanities can be found in several different finishes or colors, which you could select based on the decor of your bathroom.
The following steps should be used when considering the bathroom vanity for your main bathroom. These are important because they allow you to view all of the information required to find a good fit so that it is functional while still being stylish and fun – not just practical or boring!
1. What is the location of your plumbing?
Plumbing will most likely dictate where your vanity is going to be placed. It costs money and time to make changes, so it has a say when choosing style too. For example, floor-mounted can work with the typical plumbing layout but moving hookups on-wall-mounted would require more planning if you want them not changed; it depends on what you wish to/budget set aside for the project since moving to plumb isn’t impossible, though!
2. How much and what type of storage do you need?
While vanity may provide more storage, it’s important to consider the space and sizing you settled on in step three. Depending on your available space and what you want to store, there might be some compromise, for example, not being able to accommodate 3 columns of drawers with room for plumbing under the sink.
It is important to remember that drawers extend in front while cabinets doors swing out and to the side. Depending on the bathroom layout, one style may work better than another. Many vanity stores have some organizational tools which will give maximum storage with minimum problems no matter what type you choose for your bathroom.
3. Choose materials that can withstand wear and tear and yet look good.
Vanity is furniture that typically holds the sink and provides space to place items such as makeup. They are designed for comfort, durability, protection from humidity and water damage in humid climates. The best materials used on vanities include wood or stone countertops with metal legs supported by moisture-resistant footings, which helps protect them against corrosion due to high humidity levels present when repeatedly exposed over time.
Your vanity will come in contact with many substances during its life- spilled makeup, cleaning products, to name a few! It’s also going to be placed in the room more humid than not, thanks to steaming hot showers we love so much. This means you want one to hold up against whatever life throws at it – specific material better.
When it comes to your bathroom countertop, you will want durable and easy to clean. We have a variety of materials for our custom vanity tops which are both beautiful and functional!
4. Ask yourself who and how will you be using it?
When choosing a vanity, consider the type of people who will use it and what they’ll use it for. For example, if you’re renovating an en suite bathroom with your partner in mind, then choose a double sink to save time since both need access to sinks at once. If you’re by yourself, don’t waste money on something more significant than required!
Additionally, consider how often/how heavily the space is used and counter-space needs – e.g., someone who loves doing their makeup or hair may want more storage room.
5. Consider potential obstacles to determine their location and size.
When determining the best place for your bathroom vanity, be sure to account for where you’ll need access. If it’s near a door or shower with an inward swing, there could be trouble ahead! When choosing its location, don’t forget about the accounting placement of toilets and other objects in relation to doors and showers.
Bathroom designs can always be changed; this limits the places you can put your vanity through things like:
the position of doors that may swing into it (if they are on different axes) as well as ensuring enough space between toilet bowls/cisterns etc., if they will affect usage.
Try spacing around. If you can’t completely visualize, try using a vanity substitute – a box will do. This will indicate where the vanity would go and how it would affect the rest of the room with its measurements.
Once you have rough placement narrowed down from their size with your tape measure to determine length and width based on factors discussed.
6. Find the right sink for you
As you consider your vanity, remember that sinks are more than just the faucet and taps. You’ll need to think about how your sink will occupy much counter space to prevent other aspects of vanity design like drawers or storage compartments.
There are plenty of types of sinks to choose from. A standard sink will take up a lot of space because it’s large, while vessel and undermount styles allow for more countertop as they sit on top rather than in the middle or underneath where there is no room for anything else. Sink size also depends on your priorities- if you have limited surface area, go with something smaller that takes less space but works just as well!
7. When it comes to personal style, there are no wrong choices.
If you are still trying to figure out what your style is, remember that there is no wrong choice when it comes to final designs – only your choice. There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to choosing your vanity – what matters most is that you’re confident in whichever selection you make!
If you want a professional look, the wood-finished bathroom vanities are a great choice. For something more elegant but also durable and luxurious, marble is an excellent uptake!
The bathroom renovation is a big decision that should not be taken lightly. A professional designer can assist you with finding what works best for your home! It’s important to understand the factors included in your design plan, such as cost and size of the room, before making any decisions.
