When shopping for a bathroom vanity, the first thing to consider is the size of your bathroom. For a smaller washroom, like a hallway powder room, opt for a more compact European bathroom vanity or single sink vanity. If you have a larger space to work with, such as an en suite bathroom, a wall-to-wall vanity may be the best fit.
Another major consideration for larger bathrooms is how many sinks you would like to have. A double vanity is a popular choice for a master bathroom but can be just as helpful in a bathroom shared by multiple children or guests.
Also consider how much storage you need. Vanities are great for stashing all of your toiletries and other bathroom essentials. You’ll find designs with drawers, cabinets, and a combination. If you like your toothbrush tucked away out of sight, for example, make sure it’s still handy by choosing a vanity with a high drawer. If you don’t need much storage in your vanity, a minimalist design with open shelves might be the right choice.
Finally, consider what aesthetic qualities you would like in a vanity, including the material, color, the type of sink, and cabinet and drawer hardware.
