The Right Fit


The bathroom layout will determine the size of the vanity that will fit into the space.

Stuffing a large vanity into a small bathroom is not ideal for space utilization, and a small vanity in a large bathroom may get lost in the design or not be a useful storage solution.

Let’s Prioritize


It is important to decide what the non-negotiables are in your bathroom. Do you value countertop space or storage? Is style more essential than functionality? While our bathroom vanities offer many of these characteristics, choosing the right vanity is critical since it will most likely become a long-lasting piece of furniture in your home.

If storage is a high priority in your bathroom, try a vanity with ample cabinet space.

How Will The Vanity Be Used?

Next, think about how you plan to use the vanity. If you are remodeling a primary bathroom, a double-sink vanity may be the best option to offer separate areas in a shared space. Double vanities are generally between 60 inches and 72 inches wide.

For a guest bath, you likely need a single-sink vanity, which ranges in width from 18 to 48 inches. In small bathrooms, a corner, wall-mount, or narrow-depth vanity is the key to effectively utilizing your space.

Measure Your Bathroom Space

Before looking for a new bathroom vanity, know your measurements. If replacing a vanity, start by measuring your existing vanity as a comparison. A common mistake people make is measuring only the width of the cabinet (from left to right) but not the depth or height.

While there isn’t a standard for vanity height, you will typically find them around 32 to 36 inches tall. If vessel sinks are in your plan, look for a shorter vanity since most vessel sinks will add an additional five to six inches to the overall height.

Know Your Bathroom Layout

Whether you are working with a contractor or doing the work yourself, it is good to know where the other existing features of the bathroom are located, such as the plumbing, windows, doors, electrical switches, and outlets. For example, a bathroom vanity connects the sink and faucet to the house water lines, which means any new vanity should have enough open area to fit around the pipes, plumbing, and electrical wiring without causing restrictions.

Rerouting the plumbing and electrical wires could be an expensive addition to your renovation’s budget, so it is important to factor for both the look of the room and the cost of designing it.

Types of Vanities

With a variety of options to choose from, make sure your vanity complements your space and lifestyle. Determining what you need in terms of storage, accessibility, and shape will help you narrow down which type will best fit your bathroom.

Freestanding Vanities

This is the traditional, or the most common type of vanity available. Freestanding vanities rest on the floor, and are secured to the wall via mounting screws for stability. These vanities can easily hold one or two sinks, and feature storage space along with stylish colors to match any design.

Sink Variations

In addition to deciding whether you would like a single bowl or double-bowl vanity, you will also need to determine the type of sink that you would like. Most vanities will only work with certain sink types due to interference from doors and shelving, so knowing what type of sink you’re going with as well as what each vanity will allow is important.

To learn which sink material is right for your vanity from practicality to style, read our Bathroom Sink Material Buying Guide.

Undermount Sink

Most vanities are meant to be paired with undermount sinks. The most common sink type, these are mounted underneath the counter and are typically made of porcelain or copper in either an oval or rectangular shape.
