How to Choose the Perfect Bathroom Vanity

From the master suite to the guest bath, a bathroom vanity is the key element to your design theme. It’s an efficient way to reflect your home’s overall aesthetic while adding functionality and organization. That said, choosing the right one can be a little tricky. To help you make the best choice for your home, let’s take a closer look at everything you need to know about how to choose a bathroom vanity.

Select the Right Size for Your Bathroom

A large vanity is an appealing option, especially when you need more storage. Consider a sliding barn door vanity, like the one below, for spacious master bathrooms. The countertop lets you keep cosmetics, toiletries, and styling tools within easy reach. Don’t forget, though, to measure the size of your bathroom first! You’ll need plenty of room to move easily and open cabinet doors without obstacles. In the construction world they say, “Measure twice, cut once,” but in the online shopping world we like to amend that to “Measure twice, click once.” Additionally, the current plumbing is an important factor when looking for a new bathroom vanity.

For smaller floor plans, like the kids’ bathroom or your guest bath, consider a compact vanity with plenty of style, like this one pictured below. Its freestanding design allows flexible placement wherever your plumbing hookups allow. Meanwhile, a convenient lower drawer provides added storage to keep the countertop tidy..

Choose a Bathroom Vanity that Fits Your Storage Needs

They say a clear space often inspires a clear mind. A good bathroom vanity will not only keep your space organized but will look attractive as well. For compact spaces like a half bathroom, sometimes the vanity will be the only way to reflect your home aesthetic while storing all the bathroom essentials. Get the best of both worlds with this elegant choice pictured below:

With two spacious drawers, this dresser style bathroom vanity offers discreet storage for toiletries, makeup, or other important items. The design highlights the distinctive look of a beautiful, freestanding piece to give your bathroom a touch of vintage charm. Use the drawers to organize your skin care products, store hand towels, or keep cleaning supplies.

Determine What’s Included with Your Bathroom Vanity

How did we survive before online shopping? Today, everything needed for a stunning home is available online. That includes your bathroom vanity! Although convenient, online shopping needs a careful read-through of all the descriptions thoroughly, so you know exactly how your furniture will arrive. For those who love DIY projects, consider this easy-to-assemble vanity (featured below).
