Simply installing a new bathroom vanity in your home can provide a whole new look and feel to the bathroom, whether it is a master bathroom or a guest bathroom. Not to mention the fact that they combine the utilities of the sink and the storage of a linen closet in one attractive piece. And with everything from natural-looking teak vanities to ultra-modern vanities made of metal and glass to choose from, you can truly customize the look to suit your tastes. But before purchasing any of the lovely vanities on the market, it is important to consider the size and location of the piece that you plan on installing.

There are single bathroom vanities, which include a singular sink basin and a cabinet that covers or camouflages the pipes that would ordinarily be seen. There are also double bathroom vanities, which have two sink basins and faucets plus additional storage, often with the appearance of being built into an alcove in the master bathroom. In either case, the space below is typically used for storing towels, toiletries, shaving products and hair tools. Mirrors are also traditionally hung above the bathroom vanity or built in as part of the unit. With double bathroom vanities, these might also consist of two mirrors that hang on the walls.

Traditional and contemporary styles of bathroom vanities include wood, glass and metal options, but before you think about style you must first consider both size and location. Bathrooms come in many sizes, which is why you must measure the space and decide how much you want to dedicate to the vanity. You must also consider how the vanity should be situated. Some people have their vanities directly against the bathtub, while others allow for a bit more space. This is especially advantageous with teak vanities, as water can warp wood somewhat. So if you want to go with wood, make sure to measure the space first. And if you’re not sure whether you want to go with double or single bathroom vanities, consider how much free space you want left over and whether two sinks is the most convenient option for your lifestyle.

The dimensions of the room and the space available ultimately determine the size of the bathroom vanity best suited for you, but other factors such as personal taste and storage needs also come into play. With the right vanity you can create a space that’s all your own.
