What Is A Bathroom Vanity?
A bathroom vanity is a piece of furniture with a countertop, sink, and storage cupboards. It can be freestanding or wall-mounted and is available in various sizes and styles to complement any bathroom decor. Some vanities additionally have mirrors, illumination, and built-in outlets for charging your electronics.
At WoodyArt, we have a vast collection of bathroom vanities to suit any size bathroom. From wall vanities to floor vanities, we can assist you in selecting the perfect vanity for your bathroom renovation, maximizing your space, and ensuring the style complements the overall decor of your bathroom. We also have many mirror cabinets as part of our vanity line.
Different Bathroom Vanity Types
Whether you choose a simple classic vanity style or a custom-designed vanity, ensure you have enough space to achieve the desired look before you begin. A bathroom vanity usually consists of a sink, a countertop, a storage area for toiletries and linens, and a mirror.
There are six primary varieties of vanities: pedestal, freestanding, floating, vessel, under-mounted sink, and cabinet.
Pedestal
A pedestal sink is the most straightforward design, requiring little space and no countertop or storage space. It’s only a sink and basin. However, it is adaptable to any home and simple to install.
Freestanding
Like a pedestal, a freestanding vanity has a low profile but comes in square or rectangular shapes that accommodate two sinks. Perfect for a main bathroom.
Floating
A wall-mounted vanity, often a floating vanity, is fastened directly (and securely) to your bathroom wall. Gives your bathroom an open, contemporary appearance with floor space underneath. If you don’t need much storage space, install a countertop.
The vessel type sits above the counter, with a bowl that rises from the sink area and a separate tap. A vessel sink can be ornate, with intricate patterns and motifs, made of metal or porcelain.
Under-Mounted Sink
An under-installed sink is a built-in basin mounted beneath your vanity’s countertop. This type has a sleek, smooth appearance but less space under the sink and is more challenging to install.
Cabinet
Like kitchen cabinets, a vanity cabinet has pull-out drawers that may be customized to meet your storage needs. Available in a variety of door and hardware designs.
It’s not a distinct type, but if you have a small bathroom, consider a corner vanity to maximize the available space.
Once you’ve decided on the type and size of your vanity, you’ll need to choose the material and shape, the design of the doors (unless it’s a pedestal), and the appropriate countertop.
Maximize Bathroom Storage With Custom Bathroom Vanity And Cabinet
The vanity is the most crucial fixture in your bathroom. You utilize it daily—sometimes many times. Thus, maximizing your bathroom vanity storage and functioning is critical for minimizing undesired clutter. Here are some suggestions on how to accomplish it.
1. Add Cabinet Accessories
If you believe cabinet accessories are exclusive to the kitchen, think again. Consider putting divider inserts in your bathroom vanity drawers as you would for silverware and kitchen gadgets. It’s an excellent method for separating bottles, dental care goods, and makeup and skincare products.
Similarly, while spice racks and utensil-style pull-outs are typically seen in the kitchen, you can include them in your bathroom vanity pull-out storage to house accessories like straighteners, curling irons, and blow dryers.
Furthermore, if your bathroom also serves as laundry storage, include a pull-out bin in your custom bathroom vanity to store dirty clothes. Towels and drying racks are also needed.
2. Make Good Use of Drawers
One of the most common bathroom pet peeves is cluttered surfaces. Shaving equipment, cosmetics, and hairbrushes can quickly deplete all available counter space.
The most effective strategy to avoid clutter is to have a convenient place to store everything, such as drawers. Aside from its storage capacity, slide-out drawers in bathroom cabinets provide a clear view of the contents and straightforward access.
Drawers can also provide separate storage for individuals, which is functional when numerous people, particularly adults, share the same main bathroom. Assign each user a personal pull-out; clutter will be much easier to manage.
3. Add the Correct Number of Sinks
Once you’ve determined where your vanity will go, consider how many sinks you’ll require. Small bathrooms, powder rooms, and guest bathrooms will need only one. Two sinks are typically preferred in master bathrooms.
Furthermore, with two sinks, you may designate one for each person (assuming there are two) who uses the bathroom, which helps segregate personal care goods and keep things neat.
Of course, one may be sufficient if space is limited and people use the restroom at a different time. You might prefer more counter space.
4. Use the Sink Cabinets
Sink cabinet storage is an underappreciated hero in the bathroom. It goes to waste far too often due to extra piping. Optimizing your sink cabinet can be difficult with all that piping, but it isn’t impossible. Here are three standard methods to utilize the potential of under-cabinet storage:
- Roll-out Shelf: Attach a huge pull-out bathroom cabinet organizer to the base of your custom bathroom cabinet. You can use it to conceal single items that do not have a designated location.
- Drawer banks under a sink cabinet are made from a phony drawer front at the top and two functional drawers beneath.
- Wicker Baskets: If a roll-out shelf under the sink isn’t an option, arrange cleaning products or spare toiletries in bathroom cabinets using wicker or fabric storage baskets.
5. Select adjustable storage
You want your bathroom cabinet space to change with your family over time. Most mass-produced bathroom cabinets do not come with adjustable shelves. As a result, you need more space.
Investing in one-of-a-kind bathroom shelf solutions will help you avoid this difficulty. Custom bathroom storage that can be changed over time is a terrific option, especially if you have children, numerous guests, or are constantly entertaining.
6. Get a pantry cabinet
Contrary to popular opinion, tall pantry cabinets are not limited to the kitchen. They are also ideal for storing extra linens, makeup, and other bathroom products that are not used daily.
Better yet, pantry cabinets are smaller than they appear. They may be tucked into corners or tight spaces. They are typically far more space-efficient than similar-sized base cabinets, making them ideal for smaller bathrooms.
7. Consider the Height
Cabinet height is crucial for bathroom performance and convenience. Because you will be using your vanity to wash your face, brush your teeth, and apply cosmetics, make sure it is tall enough to be comfortable.
However, determining the ideal bathroom vanity height can be difficult. If your household has shorter users or youngsters who will soon outgrow a vanity, consider integrating stools or pull-out stairs into the bottom of your closed bathroom storage.
Three Classic Bathroom Vanity Design Trends
Whether starting from scratch or making minor improvements, making the proper decisions throughout the planning stage is critical. Unless you want to make renovations to help sell your house, finding new bathroom fixtures you can live with for the long term is essential to the project’s success.
At WoodyArt, we have a great selection of bathroom cabinets and vanity tops to help you create the perfect appearance for your remodel. With so many options available, it’s easy to become overwhelmed when deciding on the best one. However, you can go right with a classic bathroom design trend, such as below.
1. Blue and White
The blue and white color scheme may come to mind when considering modern bathroom design. The contrast and splash of color make it a favorite among many homeowners who use it in rooms other than the bathroom.
Consider pairing a Wolf Vanity Top with blue and white cabinetry to accomplish this appearance. Blue and white cabinets create a striking contrast while highlighting the beautiful wood grain.
You can also get the contrast reversed. Many of our cabinets are finished in white, which can be paired with an Absolute Black vanity top. A black countertop is less common, so it can offer your bathroom a unique look that you’ll appreciate.
2. Glossy Features
Choosing fixtures or backsplash with a glossy finish gives any bathroom a clean, gleaming appearance. A light-colored vanity top, such as the Wolf Solid Surface in Summit finish, will look fabulous.
Our selection of vanity tops provides numerous alternatives, whether you want to go with neutral tones or add a splash of color to your countertop.
3. Industrial Feel
Going for a modern or industrial style is an excellent method to get a minimalist appearance. Whether you choose a white product or smooth-surfaced cabinets, this style will make your bathroom look and feel fantastic.
Pair any light-colored countertop with a cabinet like the Berwyn door design from the WoodyArt Classic collection for a stylish bathroom. This pattern features a slight texture, giving it a modern yet distinct option for your bathroom.
Whatever style you wish to utilize for your bathroom renovation, we can help make it a reality. Contact a dealer near you today to discover more about our vanity tops and cabinetry options.
