4 Things to Consider When Choosing a Bathroom Vanity

The right vanity can make all the difference in the look of your bathroom so it's important to know what to look for. Keep the following things in mind to choose the best vanity for your San Diego bathroom remodeling project.

1.       Space. Before you can choose a vanity, you need to know exactly how much space you have for it. Make sure to measure overall height, width and depth. Narrow bathrooms usually require vanities with a more shallow depth to avoid interference with entryway and shower doors as well as when opening storage drawers.

2.       Sinks. The type and number of sinks in your vanity is also an important consideration. Single vanities are ideal both for smaller bathrooms and in bathrooms where more counter space is desired. Double sinks require vanities with a width of at least 48 inches and are best for shared or family bathrooms. Sinks are available in undermount, self-rimming and vessel styles. Undermount sinks are the most common and save space while vessel sinks are extremely stylish but take up more space. 

3.       Mounting. Vanities can be free standing, wall-mounted or corner-mounted. Free standing vanities are both the most common and have the most storage space. Wall and corner-mounted vanities are better for smaller bathrooms as they require less space. However, they also have less storage than free standing vanities.

4.       Customization. There are several ways you can customize your vanity including choosing from various styles, finishes, materials, hardware and storage. You may also opt for a backsplash or side splash. Each of these elements can come together to create a unique look perfect for your bathroom.

In addition to the above, the faucets and accessories you choose also play a big part in the way your vanity will look. Consider these options and you're sure to select a vanity you'll love.
