Tips On Choosing The Right Bathroom Vanities

If you're bathroom always looks a mess with every available surface cluttered with toiletries and spare towels heaped in the corner, then you really should consider buying some bathroom cabinets.

Bathroom vanities are cabinets with a counter top and a sink sitting atop of that. They not only solve a lot of your storage problems but can also act as the focal point for your bathroom. The great thing about vanities is that you can have some fun choosing the individual pieces and set the scene for the look and ambiance that you have in mind. However, there are a few points to consider when choosing cheap bathroom ideas :



Choosing the size

For many bathrooms one of the smaller vanities is ample but if you have the space then you might like to consider a double vanity. This incorporates two sinks and storage below either in the form of cupboards or perhaps even with a couple of drawers. It's a great set up for a family bathroom, especially if you're all trying to get ready at the same time, but it also works well for couples and gives you both your own storage space for toiletries, razors, make up etc. Whichever you decide, there's plenty to choose from. Just remember when choosing bathroom vanities to measure your space carefully and ensure there is sufficient room for cleaning, especially if the vanity is placed near the toilet, and that there is room for a trash can if you need it to sit nearby.

Choosing the style

Choose a style which matches the décor of your home, otherwise it could stick out like a sore thumb. If your home is traditional you might want to consider antique wood vanities or even marble for an elegant look. If you have a modern bathroom then you might prefer something that is minimalistic, metallic and sleek. Great use is made in these styles of chrome or nickel matched with a frameless mirror.

Experiment

If you're of a creative nature you can have fun putting your own look together and you could do this from home, using the internet. You'll need to select a cabinet, top, sink and mirror. One of the most prominent features of bathroom vanities is the vessel sink so choose something with the wow factor that is aesthetically pleasing to the eye but make sure it fits your overall theme.

Durability

Since your bathroom gets a lot of use and you may be in this for the long haul be sure to buy quality materials which will last. cheap bathroom cabinets made from fiber board are a recipe for disaster. If you're looking to save money then RTA vanities which you assemble yourself could be the ideal choice for you.
