For many, the bathroom is a tranquil escape from the rest of the world where one can both prepare themselves for the day and unwind. The way a bathroom looks and feels has a lot to do with function and style. The cabinetry, colors and layout commingle to create a cohesive and deliberate energy you can feel when you enter the room. Here are the steps for how to design your dream bathroom. 

How to Design the Ultimate Bathroom Vanity 

1. Decide the Layout

Before starting any remodeling, you'll need to decide where you want your bathroom cabinets or vanity to go. Things to consider are what you want to see when you stand in the doorway. If you are remodeling the primary bathroom, you may want the vanity as the focal point. A popular layout for a long, rectangular bathroom is a galley layout with cabinetry on both sides of the wall.

Smaller bathrooms opt for a horizontal vanity taking up one wall, streamlining the design. Large, spacious bathrooms may decide on an L-shaped vanity. With no lack of space, it allows for optimal storage, leaving the corner for a small seating area. Minimalists love modern wall-mounted or floating vanities. While still spacious, they offer a clean and airy aesthetic. 

2. Think Sinks

For shared bathrooms, many homeowners prefer double sinks. However, if the length of the vanity is less than 60 inches, one sink is best. If the bathroom is dedicated to only one occupant, consider having one sink and leaving the additional space for more storage. You could also use this extra counter space as a personal vanity to display beautiful skin care products or as a space to put on your makeup.  

3. Pick Your Style 

When you imagine your dream bathroom, what is the look and feel of cabinetry? What type of function do you want them to have? Do you picture drawers, doors, or pull-out shelves? Are you looking for rustic wood cabinets or more mid-century modern shapes and fixtures? This is the part where you get to choose the color, paint, stain, and door style, which contribute to the overall aesthetic.
