If you are short on storage space in your home, a bathroom vanity can be a great solution.  They can be great for storing toiletries, linens and other personal care items. No matter the budget, they can be found in all sorts of price ranges. It is possible to purchase a single bathroom vanity or double bathroom vanity, in a variety of styles and woods.

Let’s say that your bathroom is on the small side, and maybe there are only one or two people using it on a daily basis. If this is so, a single bathroom vanity is probably your best bet. Typically, they come in sizes from twenty-one to sixty-five inches wide. Almost all of these feature a single sink, which varies in size. Vanities can be a particularly wonderful way to add a new feel to a ho-hum bathroom in your new home. If you are on a tight budget, the vanity will provide storage, a wash-up area and often even a mirror for just one price. You will be surprised how quickly replacing an old, ugly sink with a sleek bathroom vanity can totally change the feel of your bathroom.

If your house or family is a bit bigger, you may want to consider buying a double bathroom vanity. Usually featuring two sinks, twice the storage area and two mirrors, they allow two people to wash up at the same time. This can really come in handy in the morning, when you and your children or a spouse are getting ready for work and school at the same time. No more bathroom waiting lines! Double vanities most commonly measure anywhere from forty-seven to seventy-six inches.

For all available vanities, there are a myriad of beautiful styles available. If you are into classic looks, try a black or white vanity with simple hardware. This will most likely match any decor you have and not go out of style due to its simplicity. If you’re interested in an antique looks, there are lots of beautiful units made from different kinds of wood and stone. Choose the best fit for your budget, style and bathroom size. You will be thrilled with the results!

If you feel that your bathroom is more of a functional space than a spot to relax and let the stress of the day melt away, you may want to look into buying a bathroom vanity. Depending on your lifestyle and styling aesthetic, (not to mention the size of your living space) there is a bathroom vanity for everyone.

A small family of two or three may fare best with a single bathroom vanity. These kinds of vanities are typically between twenty-one and thirty-four inches wide, and constitute one sink, usually with storage space underneath. Corner vanities are available if you are really short on space, and smaller varieties can be found in beautiful granite, cherry wood, oak and more. There are even teak bathroom vanities available, if that fits your decor.

Teak vanities are from about forty-seven to sixty-six inches wide, with light-colored wood. They would go great in a summery, beach-themed bathroom. If teak is not your cup of tea, you can get a double bathroom vanity in other types of fine woods, as well as sleek black or white for modernist tastes.

Double bathroom vanities are best for larger families and living spaces. The benefit of a double bathroom vanity is that it has two sinks, and typically twice as much storage space underneath as the singles. With two sinks, more than one person can wash up at a time, cutting down the need for extra bathrooms. Wall-mounted vanities are available, as well, to keep floor space free.

If you like keeping up with the latest bathroom trends, double vanities can come with the sink basin resting atop the table like a bowl. This is a popular look, and can be found in all of the most cutting-edge decorating magazines. Storage should definitely be covered for even the largest families, too, because double vanities come in sizes up to seventy-six inches wide! Of course, what bathroom would be complete without a mirror in which to shave, put on your makeup, or inspect your outfit before heading out the door? Just about all of these vanities feature a looking glass above or attached to the unit.
