Choosing New Bathroom Vanities



Remodeling the bathroom is one of the most effective and satisfying projects to undertake in the home which everyone will appreciate. A few years ago there was very little choice when it came to replacing the bathroom vanities.

Nowadays, however, this is a different story and there are many types, styles and designs to chose from. So many it fact, it can make your decision quite difficult. Before purchasing a bathroom vanity cabinet there are a few points to consider.

The most common type of vanity unit is the cabinet style which provides a lot of storage space. You will find these in most bathrooms that are fitted with vanities. They are usually around thirty three to thirty five inches high although can be made to order. As they are the most popular, they tend to be cheaper then more contemporary designs that are available. If you are looking for storage space then the cabinet style is ideal.

The furniture style unit is another stylish model to look at. They tend to be smaller then most bathroom vanity units and so are ideal for the smaller bathroom. It looks, as the name suggests, like a piece of furniture which is freestanding which makes them very easy to install. They are an quick and easy way to update the bathroom without having to make significant changes to the room. There are quite of different number of designs you can choose from, including those with more storage to those with more design features.

Another type is the vessel vanity unit. These feature a freestanding unit with a bowl shaped vessel sink atop. Again, these are perfect for the smaller bathroom where there isn’t a great deal of room to spare. Replacing your old vanity with one of these will free up some room and give it a more modern look. These types of vanities are very artistic in their appearances and create a wonderful earthy natural look.

When making your purchase consider the size of the bathroom. A smaller unit will free up space and make your bathroom look much larger. Think about the look you want to achieve. If you are going for a contemporary natural look then the vessel vanity is perfect. A furniture vanity is more suited to a traditional looking bathroom. Also think about cost with a vessel set up in the more costlier band of the market.

Do bear in mind, when considering the cost, that updated vanities will not only improve the look of your home but also increase its equity value. This could offset the cost of the vanity. Searching the internet for different style ideas and prices is the best way to start.
