Bathroom Vanities: Choosing the right Style for Your House

Bathroom Vanities are a requirement for every bathroom. In addition to supporting the sink, the bathroom vanity conceals the plumbing, water supply lines, as well as the drain line. The bathroom vanity cabinet plays a big roll when it comes to the overall design of a bathroom. Pick the right vanity and it can make a dramatic statement if you have both good taste and a generous budget. While pedestal sinks are a great look for a powder room or side bathroom, they eliminate any additional space provided by a bathroom vanity. Storage space is something that a lot of people overlook when remodeling their bathroom.

Many consumers are unaware there is a vast difference in quality when looking at bathroom vanities. Mass-produced bathroom vanities are often very inexpensive, and can be found at home centers. Semi-custom bathroom vanities can be ordered at kitchen and bath showrooms that represent various cabinet manufacturers. You will pay more for these, but the higher quality is noticeable. You can also find cabinetmakers that will build you anything you can dream in your head. What's more, they can build the vanity from just about any material. A custom bathroom vanity can become a permanent fixture in a bathroom if it is built well and has a classic design. While the mass-produced bathroom vanities had traditionally been the basic designs, there are more and more manufacturers that are building artistic bathroom vanities that look more like a piece of furniture than a bathroom vanity. In some cases they can even be used as a focal point for the house, since they look more like a work of art than a bathroom fixture.

If buying a bathroom vanity from a store or website just isn't unique enough for you, why not use an actual piece of furniture? Since a bathroom vanity is really just to support the sink and hide the plumbing, most dressers and basic furniture can certainly fit the bill. A lot of interior designers like to use antique furniture in the place of a basic bathroom vanity. Not only does this create a truly unique look, but it seems to remain popular even as trends come and go.


If you use a vanity in a master bathroom, you will want drawers with it, unless you are planning on adding a linen closet or a medicine cabinet. Since a powder room or hallway bath for guests may not have the necessary room to fit a vanity with drawers, you will want to make sure that you have somewhere to keep toilet paper and cleaning supplies. Keep this in mind as you look at different vanities.

Trends change as people grow tired of a look. Bathroom vanities that resemble furniture, instead of just a traditional box cabinet, often are timeless. These stylish vanities never seem to go out of style, and people who see them often comment on their beauty and functionality.
