Bathroom Vanities – Choosing

Posted by Marylou Biederman in Bathroom


At some point every homeowner will find themselves in the market for bathroom vanities.  A bathroom vanity is one of the central pieces of furniture in any restroom.  Apart from serving as a base for your sink, they are also used for storage.  Towels, soap, spare toothbrushes and more can all be stored within or on top of a vanity.  These are truly very practical pieces of furniture.

A good bathroom vanity is more than just functional.  If carefully chosen, a stylish vanity can add style and sophistication to your bathrooms décor.  Bathroom vanities are available in a variety of types. From the bare basic tabletop all the way through to ornately decorated – and highly expensive – cabinetry; the choices are almost endless.  The style you pick will depend on the look you wish to achieve for your bathroom, and the amount of money you are willing to invest.

Bathroom vanities can be made from many different materials. These include metal, wood and glass.  If you are pursuing a modern look for your restroom, then a metal vanity may be ideal for you.  For a more artistic style, a colored glass vanity can really make a statement.  Wood vanities are a perennial favorite, and should be considered if you prefer a more traditional look when you are decorating your home.

Do be sure to take into account the rest of your bathroom when you purchase your vanity.  Accessories like shower curtains, floor mats and toothbrush holders will most likely eventually be replaced.  When you repurchase these items the stage set by your bathroom vanity will probably influence the style of accessories you purchase also.

Whatever style of bathroom vanity you choose be sure it gets installed properly.  Unless you are very comfortable with plumbing work, I advise hiring a professional to ensure it is set-up right.
