Your bathroom vanity is one of the largest pieces of the room, so you’ll want to choose one that complements the rest of the space. With cabinets, a sink or two, and a countertop, it’s also a highly functional piece. Here are some considerations for selecting the perfect piece for your bathroom. 

Size

Vanities often range in size from 24 to 72 inches wide. Larger vanities feature double sinks and are ideal for master bathrooms, while smaller sizes have single sinks and are well-suited for guest baths. The standard depth is 20 to 21 inches, but narrower depths of 18 inches are also available. Most vanities are 30 to 32 inches in height. Comfort height vanities, which are ideal for taller individuals, are 36 inches. 

Before choosing your model, measure the space in your bathroom to make sure there’s sufficient clearance. Consider traffic flow and existing features, such as the toilet, shower or bathtub, and doors. Additionally, if the vanity you’re considering has cabinet doors, make sure they can be opened fully. If there’s limited space, a narrower or smaller vanity may be better. 

Style

Standard, freestanding vanities sit atop the floor and feature legs or a kick plate as the base. They feature wooden housing with cabinets and drawers, as well as a stone countertop, sink, and faucet. Many homeowners who prefer a classic aesthetic gravitate towards these simple yet elegant designs. 

If you’re seeking something sleeker, consider a floating vanity. These wall-mounted units house the plumbing and basin for the sink and are shorter, exposing wall space underneath. Because they lack cabinets, they forgo storage space. If you don’t have the space for a full, freestanding vanity, you might prefer a corner unit. As the name suggests, it can be fitted into the room’s corner to take up limited space.

Color and Finish

Painted vanities are available in any color you could imagine. If you prefer a neutral color palette for your space, hues such as white, gray, or tan are worth considering. You could also add a pop of color with a shade such as blue or sage green, both of which are cool tones to evoke a calming atmosphere. On the other hand, you could also select a stained wood finish for a more natural look. Whitewashed wood is stunning in bright, airy bathrooms, whereas darker finishes such as cherry and mahogany offer a stately appeal.
