The Best Bathroom Vanities

Buying Guide for Bathroom Vanities

Why buy a new bathroom vanity?

It’s one of the easier renovation projects, especially if your purchase includes a countertop and sink in one, like these popular models. Switching out your outdated vanity can change the vibe of the entire room, spinning your old bathroom into a modern space that meets contemporary storage and design demands. If you live in a smaller house or condo, replacing an unnecessarily large vanity with a more compact model (or vice versa) can resurrect some of that floor and wall space. Plus, they’re shiny and new, adding extra sparkle to a less-than-exciting bathroom.

What should you consider when buying a bathroom vanity?

• Size: Obviously, your new vanity has to fit in your bathroom. Make sure to measure your space and double-check the listed measurements before purchasing. Looking to downsize? Consider one of the compact models.
• Storage: If your storage needs are minimal, you won’t need excess drawers or shelves—a simple dual-shelf or single cabinet may be enough. But if you have a large family, or tons of towels and toiletries, opt for a vanity that offers more room and variety.
• Customizable: Don’t want the same one-size-fits-all style? There are plenty of vanities that allow you to customize your design with lots of color, material, and sink options. Consider the vibe you want to accomplish before clicking “Buy.”
• Hardware: Not all sink-counter combos include sink hardware so be sure to research the full product offering before purchasing.
• Use: For an individual, a single vanity will probably do the trick. Who says you can’t go for a double? If you’re a couple looking to end daily battles over counter space and bathroom time slots, a double vanity can be a life-saver.

Which materials should a quality bathroom vanity feature?

To ensure long use and durability, stick to vanities that feature easy-to-clean materials, like ceramic for sinks and waterproof wood or engineered wood for cupboards. If you’ve got your eye on a fancier marble option, just be sure to clean spills asap, as your beautiful marble is also porous and can dull over time, if not cared for.
