Bathroom Vanities and Sinks Come in a Variety of Options

Before choosing a vanity or sink from the myriad of choices offered, it is a good idea to consider the functional needs and how much space you have first. For example, a family bathroom will need far more vanity space and storage area than a guest bathroom or small powder room. Men and women have different grooming needs, so having two separate sinks and vanity storage areas is a good idea if your space and budget will allow.

Wall-hung vanities are currently in fashion and take up less space, making your bathroom seem roomier. Another advantage to this contemporary look is the height is not dictated; you can hang them at any level you want. Linen towers are also popular. They add lots of bathroom storage and work great as a divider for vanities with his and hers sinks. Freestanding vanities are typically less expensive than built-ins and are incredibly versatile, coming in a wide range of sizes, styles and colours, and can be easily moved.

Sinks also come in an assortment of styles. Integrated sinks blend seamlessly within the vanity. Pedestal sinks stand alone, and are perfect for a powder room as they take up very little space. Undermount sinks require more room and a hard countertop, making them a more expensive option.

Vessel sinks are cutting-edge even though their design is based on wash basins that were used before houses had running water. These free-standing sinks come in a variety of shapes and materials, and sit directly on the countertop. Wall-mount sinks are another great option for small bathrooms, as they allow you to use the floor space beneath them for other purposes.
