Design Speak team member, Jennifer Steward, recently went shopping with her brother to select the best vanity for his bathroom renovation.
Jennifer asked a few good basic questions to help select the right vanity.
What size vanity will fit in the space?
If your space measures 40″, the 42″ wide vanity you want is not going to work. A slightly smaller vanity may give you space for a towel bar or toilet paper holder.
How do you use the space? What kind of storage do you need? A cabinet with doors provides typical storage for larger items. Drawers are important for storing smaller objects.
Do you want a vanity with a one sink or would two work better for you?
How tall do you want the vanity to be? Standard heights for vanities are 32″, 34″ or 36″.
The height of the vanity above is 34″. The top of the back splash is at 38″.
The height of this Pottery Barn vanity is 36″.
The vanity is an integral part of a bathroom’s design. Asking the right questions and taking good measurements will help you select a vanity that is right for your bathroom.
