Choosing the Right Vanity for Your Bathroom Remodel
You want to make the most of your limited space during a bathroom remodeling. This also applies to the vanity in your bathroom. You want to get it correctly the first time since it may quickly become the centerpiece of your bathroom.
To get a bathroom vanity that not only looks nice but also meets all of your requirements, how do you go about making your selection? Should you follow current trends for bathroom design ideas or go your own way?
In this article, we will list the common factors to consider when searching for the right bathroom vanity.
Who Is Using Your Vanity?
Consider who will be using the vanity and what they'll use it for when selecting a sink vanity for your home.
A vanity with two sinks can be a good option if you're remodeling an en suite for you and your partner and need a place to wash your face simultaneously in the morning. If you're on your own, a less expensive option would be adequate.
You should also think about how you want to put your vanities to use. If you enjoy doing your own cosmetics and hair, you'll need additional counter space and storage space to keep everything organized.
Where Is Your Plumbing Located?
In most cases, the location of your vanity will be determined by the plumbing in your bathroom. As a result, your plumbing will play a role in the design process. In the example of a floor-mounted vanity, the conventional plumbing configuration might be used. A wall-mounted vanity necessitates changing the plumbing connections for your sink.
It's not hard to relocate your plumbing; it just relies on your goals and the funds you have set aside for the endeavor. It can limit your vanity options if you want to work with the existing plumbing.
Are There Any Obstacles That Will Affect Your Vanity?
While your bathroom design can be changed anytime, permanent fixtures may get in the way. Whether you have doors, walls, a shower, toilet, etc., this may affect your vanity's shape, size, and placement.
What Kind of Storage Do You Need?
Storage is one of the benefits of having a vanity. Your belongings will finally have a home! However, some compromise may be necessary, depending on the amount of storage space available and the items you plan to store. You may not have enough capacity in the given area to fit three rows of drawers and the plumbing for the sink.
What Material Do You Want?
In its lifetime, your vanity will come into contact with a wide variety of chemicals. To mention just a few: water, cosmetics, and cleaning supplies. The bathroom is usually subjected to heat and humidity as you take a warm shower.
The bottom line here is that you'll need a vanity that can stand up to warm and humid conditions in your bathroom. This may require specific materials. It is best to get a surface that is waterproof or resistant to scratches. Several materials may withstand a bathroom climate, including wood veneers, laminate, and thermofoil.
Conclusion
We hope this article has helped you understand how to choose a bathroom vanity. Remember that it's not just about vanity. When you put some effort into your bathroom vanity, you'll be able to create a beautiful and functional space that can be one of your favorite areas in your home.
