Your bathroom is more than just a place to wash up. It’s a personal retreat where you can relax, pamper yourself and express your style. That’s why choosing the right vanity is so important. It can make or break your bathroom’s look and feel.
In this blog post, we’ll share with you some of our best tips for getting the perfect vanity for your bathroom. Whether you want a sleek and modern look, a cosy and rustic vibe or something in between, getting a functional and beautiful bathroom is very achievable.
The first thing you need to think about is the size of your vanity. You want it to fit well in your bathroom, without taking up too much or too little space. To determine the right size, you need to measure your bathroom carefully, so consider the length, width and height of the room, as well as the location of the door, window and any other fixtures. Then, think about how much counter space and storage space you may need.
For example, if you have a small bathroom, you might want to go for a wall-mounted or pedestal vanity that saves floor space. If you have a large bathroom, you might want to opt for a double-sink or L-shaped vanity that offers more counter space and storage. The key is to find a balance between style and functionality, as you want your vanity to enhance your bathroom’s appearance and flow, not to overwhelm or underwhelm it.
The next thing you need to consider is the sink configuration. This will affect the look, feel and usability of your vanity.
There are many types of sinks to choose from, such as:
The type of sink you choose will depend on your personal taste, budget and maintenance preferences.
A single sink vanity is ideal for small bathrooms, as it saves space and costs. It also gives you more counter space and storage space. For larger bathrooms double sinks may be an option, as it adds convenience and luxury. It also gives you more personal space and privacy. However, it can take up more space and may cost more.
The third thing you need to consider is the hardware selection. This includes the taps, handles and hinges of your vanity. These are the details that can make or break your vanity’s style and functionality.
You want to choose hardware that matches your vanity’s design and theme. So if you have a modern vanity, you might want to go for sleek and minimalist hardware, such as chrome or stainless steel. If you have a rustic vanity, you might want to go for warm and cozy hardware which usually include bronze or copper tones.
You also need to consider the height and depth placement of your hardware. You want to position them in a way that is comfortable and convenient for you and your family.
The fourth thing you need to consider is the counter space. This is the area where you place your everyday essentials, such as toiletries, makeup and decorative items. You want to have enough space to store and display them, without cluttering or crowding your vanity.
To achieve this, you need to customise your vanity to suit your lifestyle and habits. For example, if you use a lot of products and accessories, you might want to have a large and spacious countertop, with dividers and organisers to keep them neat and tidy. If you use only a few items, you might want to have a small and simple countertop, with trays and baskets to keep them handy and accessible. Essentially, you want to have a countertop that is functional and practical, as well as beautiful and stylish.
The fifth thing you need to consider is storage solutions, as you will want to have enough storage space to keep your vanity organised and clutter-free. To achieve this, you need to think about what items you need to store and how often you use them. It’s also worth exploring above vanity storage options, such as shaving cabinets, medicine cabinets or mirrors with storage at face height. These can help you maximise your storage space without sacrificing your floor space. They can also add more functionality and style to your vanity.
