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.
