As the focal point of any bathroom, a custom bathroom vanity will add a special element to the space. With a variety of styles including antique, modern, and transitional vanities, whatever style you choose can be highlighted by different colors and finishes to give your bathroom a unique look your family will love. Take note of a few simple tips to achieve your dream vanity that you will enjoy for years to come.

A Guide to Designing a Bathroom Vanity

1. Determine Your Layout

Before starting your project, measure the amount of space you are working with. Determine the space your bathroom vanity will occupy, taking note of different layouts such as L-shaped vanities for larger bathrooms or horizontal vanities with one section of cabinets for smaller bathrooms.     

2. Pick the Right Sink

If you’ve ever wanted double sinks in your bathroom now is a perfect time! Space is a major factor, and it’s advised to purchase a vanity more than 60 inches wide to install double sinks. Otherwise, a single sink is the better option. You have a variety of possibilities when mounting either choice, including the standard level sink, or you can go the more expensive route and choose a stylish above counter sink mounted above your countertop.

3. Find an Appropriate Countertop

There are several different materials you can use for a stylish counter, including quartz, granite, concrete, and wood surfaces. Granite and quartz are popular due to their high quality and design, but they are expensive and require additional maintenance every few years. Wood is more budget-friendly, but be aware that wood can deteriorate from excessive moisture.

4. Don’t Go Over Budget!

As with any major home project, determine an appropriate budget. The price of the vanity, countertop, and sink must be taken into account along with installation fees and additional maintenance. Remember, the cheapest materials are not always the best option, as they can deteriorate and wear out faster than more expensive options. Try to strike a balance between what’s affordable and well-made when selecting materials.
