Bathroom Vanity

A bathroom vanity is much more than a cabinet that holds the sink. It’s the place where you wash your hands and face, shave, style your hair, apply makeup and brush your teeth. It’s also where you store all the implements for your daily routine, as well as other bathroom supplies and cleaning essentials.

In some bathrooms, it’s the most prominent fixture. In others, it’s tucked discreetly into a corner. It can sit directly on the floor or hang from a wall.

In its simplest form, the vanity encloses the sink plumbing and may or may not have doors and drawers.

Style:
Bathroom vanities come in a wide range of styles, so you can choose one that fits your taste and complements your bathroom’s overall design. A stylish vanity can add visual appeal and character to your bathroom.

It can increase space
A benefit that a custom bathroom vanity can provide is added space, and it can be done in a variety of ways. For instance, this accessory can be customized with extra cabinets for storage purposes to keep your space clean. It can also be installed just above the bathroom floor, providing extra space underneath for storage or simply making your space feel more open. This is especially appealing for homeowners with less space to work with or for those who have bathrooms with a more constrained layout.

To create a simple and fresh aesthetic
Custom bathroom vanities are also beneficial when it comes to design. Their straight edges and rectangular or square shape can give your home a simplistic and fresh aesthetic. If you aren’t looking for as minimal of a design, the good news is that these vanities can be customized with the cut and shape that meet your needs and tastes! They can also serve as the focal point of your bathroom space and become a beautiful accent piece that will catch the eye, regardless of the design.

Maintenance becomes easier
Bathroom vanities provide the added benefit of making the upkeep of your vanity and entire bathroom space much easier. With the extra storage and free space, there is more room to clean your bathroom and more importantly less clutter to pick up after on a regular basis.

1. Consider Who Is Going to Be Using It, and How
Your vanity choice should be guided by the people who are going to be using it and the type of things they will be using it for.
You also need to consider how you will be using your vanity. If you are someone who likes to do their makeup and hair, you’ll want more counter space and storage to accommodate supplies.
We’ve created many vanities over the years, and we’ll be able to help create a design that works for every person and every use.

2. Find Out Where Your Plumbing Is Located
Plumbing will most likely be the part of your bathroom that dictates where your vanity is going to go. It costs time and money to make changes to your plumbing.
This means that your plumbing will also have a say when it comes to choosing a style. For example, a floor-mounted vanity can make use of the typical plumbing layout. By contrast, a wall-mounted vanity might require moving the plumbing hookups for your sink.
Moving the plumbing is not impossible; it depends on your needs and the budget you have set aside for the project. If you decide to work with the existing plumbing setup, it will help you narrow down your vanity styles.

3. Look At Potential Obstacles to Determine Placement and Size
You can always change bathroom designs. That’s a little harder. This limits the places you can put your vanity. Things you want to consider when determining placement include:
Your vanity shouldn’t make navigating the rest of your bathroom a bother. If you’re constantly bumping into it trying to avoid something else, you’re going to get frustrated, not to mention bruised.

4. Decide How Much and What Kind of Storage You Want
Before we get too excited about the storage, you have to look at the space and sizing you settled on in step three.
Depending on the space and what you want to store, there may have to be some compromises made. For example, you may be unable to accommodate three columns of drawers and have room for the sink plumbing in the space available. You may have to mix and match. Don’t worry; we’re great at creating a design that works no matter what.

5. Determine Your Sink Style
You’ve probably spent a lot of time determining what faucet and taps you want, but don’t forget that they are only one part of the sink. You also need to carefully consider the bowl and how it will impact the look and utility of your vanity.
With so many sink styles available, it can be a little overwhelming to pick the one you’ll like the most. The best way to approach it is to decide how much counter space you want and how much should be allotted to the sink.

6. Pick Out Materials That Will Handle Wear and Tear and Look the Way You Want
Your vanity is going to come in contact with a lot of substances during its life. Water, spilled makeup, and cleaning products, just to name a few. It’s also going to be in a more humid room, thanks to those steaming hot showers we love so much.
And, while you may like the look of one material or finish, it may not be waterproof or could be susceptible to staining or scratches. So, consider wood veneers, laminate, or thermofoil—all materials that will hold up well in the bathroom environment, and they look good, too.

7. Custom vs. Prefab Bathroom Vanities
Custom vanities are always impressive. They are often made from the finest materials and fit perfectly into a room because they are specifically made for the space.
