SINGLE vs. DOUBLE SINK: If you’re sharing a bathroom, and have enough room to work with, you may want to consider two sinks. Powder rooms and tight quarters usually call for one sink.

COLOR: From dark, rustic brown to high-gloss white, everyone knows color choices set the mood and reflect your style. When choosing a bathroom vanity color, think about how it fits into the overall look.

TYPE: Freestanding or floating? Freestanding vanities, which are most common, sit directly on the floor with a solid base or built-in legs. The floating variety is affixed directly to the wall, hovering above the floor.

STYLE: Most bathroom remodels include a style update.

Contemporary: design reflects what’s current, which means it’s constantly evolving. Neutral colors, rounded edges, and thoughtful design elements of contemporary style.

Modern: Similar to contemporary but distinct in its own way, modern design is rooted in minimalism with clean lines and monochromatic colors.

Transitional: Extremely versatile, transitional vanities combine traditional and modern designs for a look that’s both fresh and timeless.

Traditional: Discover timeless elegance in traditional bath vanities, blending classic charm with a modern twist. These vanities boast intricate detailing, raised panels, and rich wood finishes, exuding sophistication and enduring style.
