Designing a vanity requires careful planning for both functionality and style.
Placement
Avoid blocking traffic flow or door swings. Align with existing plumbing to minimize costly rerouting.
Materials
Select water-resistant materials. Avoid MDF or particleboard, and consider quartz or granite countertops for durability.
Size and Layout
Single vanities: 24"x21", ideal for powder rooms or small spaces.
Double vanities: Typically 60" wide, providing two users comfortable space. Heights now range from 34–35" for better ergonomics.
Storage Ideas
Inventory your items to determine drawer vs. shelf needs. Extra storage is always helpful.
Creative Features
- Pull-out step stools for children
- Offset sinks on single vanities for more counter space
