Tips on Choosing Bathroom Vanities
A bathroom remodeling project can be one of the most satisfying things to accomplish in the home. Years ago, there was very little choice when it came to vanity cabinets. Today, however, there is an abundance of choice which can actually make things more difficult. Factors to think about before making your purchase include your budget, the space you have to work with and the amount of storage required.
In the bathroom, the most common type of unit found is the cabinet style unit. These are often found in more standard layout bathrooms. The heights of these units is often somewhere between 33 to 35 inches although they can be custom made to any height you wish. They are usually less expensive than the more modern designed cabinets but are perfect if you are something to provide ample storage space.
The furniture style bathroom vanity is another option to choose from. If you have a smaller bathroom they are ideal as they take up a lot less room than conventional units. The are designed to look like a piece of furniture, not surprisingly, and are designed to be freestanding making them very easy to install. Due to their ease of installation they are a quick and easy way to update the bathroom without having to do much building work. There are quite a number of different styles to choose from including those with more storage space to those with a modern flavor.
Another type of bathroom vanity is the vessel style. These are artistic in appearances and will add a sense of style to the bathroom. They consist of a freestanding unit with usually a bowl shaped sink sitting on top of it. Removing an older larger bathroom vanity and replacing it with one of these will free up space and make the bathroom look larger. Due to their smaller size the are also perfect for the small bathroom.
When deciding upon your vanity unit it is important to consider the size of your bathroom. A smaller unit will open up the space and give more room. A larger cabinet, however, will provide more storage space. The vessel style cabinets not are not only useful for smaller rooms they look equally as stunning in larger bathrooms. They are often more expensive than the traditional styled units due to them being more modern and the fact that you need a sink to sit on top. The sinks you find ore frequently made out of glass and are a favorite of mine, sat on top of a stone or granite slab.
Your budget will also play a key role in the type of bathroom vanities that you purchase. Keep in mind that cabinet style vanities will increase the equity in your home so this can sometimes offset the cost of the cabinetry. Additionally, a cabinet style vanity may be preferred due to its ability to coordinate with most design elements over a long term when changes are eminent.
