Finalizing your Bathroom Vanity with Sink

When choosing a live-edge bathroom vanity with a sink, it is essential to keep a few things in mind. This guide lays out five simple tips covering size, kind, finish color, and various vanities available.

A vanity is more than just a cabinet space with a sink. Different types of vanities are discreetly placed against the wall, while others are the bathroom's focal point. Some are even floating bathroom vanities attached to the wall, leaving space at the bottom.

Why the Height of the Bathroom Vanity With Sink is Important

Usually, most buyers are concerned about the width of the vanity when purchasing a bathroom vanity. But the height of the vanity is essential to get right because you want to avoid rearranging bathroom plumbing or standing on your tiptoes to look in the mirror. The countertop height should be standard and comfortable for anyone visiting the bathroom.

Simple tasks like washing your face or brushing your teeth can become painful if you constantly have to bend down too much. Any vanity can be customized to specific circumstances, but the standard height for most bathroom vanities ranges between 32 to 36 inches. Recently, there has been a trend of higher vanities due to customer preference and practicality. This is why you may find older vanities with a shorter height of 32 inches.

5 Simple Tips for Choosing a Bathroom Vanity

When choosing a bathroom vanity with a sink, there are essential things to remember and follow before purchase. Because renovating your bathroom happens rarely, you want to ensure you choose a vanity that will last a lifetime.

Here’s what you should know:

1. Size the Vanity Correctly for a Vessel Sink  

Vessel sinks resemble a bowl and sit on top of the counter. It is essential to consider the height of the vessel sink before finalizing the height of your live edge bathroom vanity. In this case, higher is only sometimes better because you may end up with a vanity that is too tall and rather annoying for those who need to reach to wash their hands.

2. Decide Finish Color of the Vanity

The vanity's finish should go along with the rest of the bathroom and décor in the bathroom. In this situation, it is also best to consider the finish of the bathroom mirror so that both complement each other. Dark finishes to white glosses and everything in between are available for selection, but you want to ensure whatever is selected blends nicely with the rest of the bathroom. Live edge finishes will mostly be in natural wood colors and usually complement flooring and bathroom walls.

3. Kinds of Vanities

Broadly, there are about four types of bathroom vanities. Most of these can incorporate live edges:

• Wall hung: As the name suggests, these are attached to the wall and include floating bathroom vanities. The advantage of this kind of vanity is that it creates a more open feeling and is also wheelchair accessible.
• Corner Mount: This kind of vanity is mounted in the corner of the bathroom and usually has a small cabinet underneath to store essential items and fit the plumbing.
• Freestanding: This kind of vanity is like a cabinet or dresser with a sink fitted into it. It is not attached to anything; old dressers can be modified to fulfill this purpose.
• Console: A console bathroom vanity will have a sink fitting inside but will be empty from the bottom where the plumbing is exposed. Here, bathroom items like towels and toilet paper can be stored.

4.  Decide Style

The bathroom vanity style with sink should reflect other rooms of the house and the rest of the bathroom itself. If you prefer a more farmhouse style, bathroom fittings, and the mirror should match the vanity style. If your house is more contemporary, then a minimalistic bathroom vanity might be more your style.

5. Know your Vanity Sink

The sink of the bathroom vanity is an integral part of the overall feel and design of the bathroom. Many kinds are available, from vessels to unique shapes like oblong and square. It is essential to have a sink chosen and selected before you place the order for the bathroom vanity because the sink has to be fitted into the vanity. Ensure you have the correct dimensions so your carpenter can create the space for the sink exactly, and ensure all other measurements, including plumbing points, are adequate.

Finalizing your Bathroom Vanity with Sink

Now that you have chosen what kind of bathroom vanity you want, you can decide to up the game by adding a few special touches. Soft-close drawers are a great way to make sure no one is disturbed when people are using the bathroom.
