The bathroom vanity you choose for your remodeling project will be one of the focal points of your new room, so it should be chosen carefully. If you’re faced with a lot of options and aren’t sure what will best complement your bathroom design, there are a few simple factors to think about to narrow down your choices. Here are some pointers for choosing the best one for your home.

What to Think About When Picking a Bathroom Vanity

1. Size

Size is one of the first factors to consider. If you’re redoing a master bath, a vanity that spans the length of one wall may be ideal, as it will add a luxurious feel, offer ample counter space, and can fit two sinks. For small or guest bathrooms, a compact option will preserve valuable floor space and keep the room from feeling cramped. Finally, plan where you want your vanity, and take measurements of the area so you have concrete numbers to work with when choosing one.

2. Storage

Your storage needs are crucial, as they will determine how many cabinets and drawers are needed. If there are other storage options in your bathroom—like a closet, shelves, or standalone cabinets—then you probably won’t need much storage from your vanity, enabling you to choose a smaller one if desired. In contrast, you’ll want drawers and other large spaces in the vanity if it’s the primary source of storage space in the bathroom.

3. Style

One of the final aspects influencing your decision should be the overall style of the piece, whether you choose rustic deep sinks with brass fixtures and reclaimed wood or a sleek black vanity with marble countertops and chrome fixtures.

Choose a vanity that will fit into the overall bathroom design and aesthetic. Go with hues that complement the color scheme you’ve chosen for your bathroom, and pay attention to little details like the finishes, countertop materials, and carving decorations. Also, think about the material, such as a deep ceramic sink for a simple, classic feel or an oval stone basin for a more elegant atmosphere.
