Bathroom Vanity Buyer's Guide: Everything You Need to Know

 

Adding a vanity to your bathroom could completely transform its appearance. This is particularly the case while remodeling your bathroom. A vanity can offer a distinctive touch to your bathroom, regardless of your design, traditional or modern.  This buyer's guide will help you decide the right one for you.

 

There are several factors to consider while selecting the proper vanity. Take, for example, the design of your bathroom. There have been a lot of other aspects to evaluate when choosing a new vanity. Read our brief buyer's guide to learn everything you need to know before making your decision.

Your Plumbing

The type of vanity you choose as well as where you install it will be determined by your plumbing. Although you may be able to relocate your plumbing, this may raise the cost of your renovation. 

 Some plumbing installations can fit with standing vanities in terms of appearance. If you prefer a wall-mounted unit, that's great, however, your plumbing will need to be relocated to ensure that it works.

 

 

Your Difficulties

You can modify the design of your bathroom, but moving doors or changing the interiors can cost you a little more. As a result, it's critical to seek difficulties before beginning your work.

Keep an eye out for the swinging door. It'll be inconvenient if your doors are opened inward and hit the vanity. When you choose a shower featuring a door rather than a curtain, you must be careful of that door too.

Check the distance between the vanity and the bathroom. If you're in a hurry using the restroom, you would not want to run into it. Adding a vanity shouldn't make moving around the room any more difficult.

Vanity Height in the Bathroom

For a long time, the traditional bathroom vanity height remained 30 to 32 inches in height but that is no longer the case. Larger, comfy vanities have emerged in past years and also have grown in popularity. Comfortable height vanities are around 36 inches tall, compared to a normal vanity.

 What's with the additional inches? Individuals are taller nowadays than they had been 100 years ago, which allows for simpler accessibility as well as reduced back stress for the majority of individuals. Since the bathroom vanity is used regularly by children, a 32-inch height is a decent solution.

 When you're facing problems identifying your hurdles, place a box in the area to serve as vanity and go over it. This can assist you in getting a sense of where the real product must be placed.

Width of Bathroom Vanity

The normal vanity width ranges from 30 to 48 inches for single-sink cabinets. A width ranging from 60 to 72 inches seems to be usual for double vanities. Remember that the vanity surface must be 1 inch bigger than that of the cabinet.

Depth of Bathroom Vanity

The typical vanity depth has been 21 inches, however, some bathroom vanities are between 17 and 24 inches deep. Vanities with a shallow depth of fewer than 18 inches are designed for tiny restrooms. These shallow vanities accommodate both foot activity as well as the opening and closing of cabinetry and doors.

Storage Space

 Now it's time to put everything away. Finally, you have somewhere to keep your belongings so that you can reorganize your toilet! Choose what kind of space you need when you go too far ahead of yourself.

 One could have to leave some storage area in order for the vanity to accommodate in the restroom. Additionally, the plumbing might not be able to accommodate 4 rows of cabinets and your sink, so keep that in mind.

 

Decide on a sink style

Not all sinks are represented equally, and the style you choose will have an impact on the look and functionality of your vanity. Given the variety of sinks available, it would be more practical to first determine how much storage space you require while selecting a bowl.

 A sink would occupy space regardless of the type, however, an under-mounted sink would allow you to have extra storage space.
