Vanity units come in many different styles to complete the look of any bathroom design. The design themes throughout the home’s other rooms can be carried to the bathroom for continuity. Vanities come in many styles to fit a larger design theme. It varies from French country to modern minimalist to designs that mimic period architecture.
Vanity units, in addition to hiding the plumbing below a faucet and sink, can add storage space for toiletries and bathroom cleaning supplies. Although they can be very utilitarian in their purpose, they can be very beautifully designed to be bathroom furniture. Compact or long and wide, a vanity can be a beautiful piece of furniture to fit in a very essential room of a house. Ease of cleaning and maintenance, as well as storage, are important considerations through the lifetime of the bathroom. Differences of materials from a wide array of colors to the look of finished natural wood will all make a very different statement in the same room. Styles can also extend to different time periods. The beauty of a vanity designed to look as if it was from a Victorian period home – although ironically not known for technological advancements in indoor plumbing – the design can still evoke the feeling and design as if it had been contemporary in the Victorian era.

Sinks, showers, toilets, and their necessary plumbing need to be connected to the buildings plumbing system. Although they may be moved to some degree, there will be limitations of changes to the layout according to electrical, plumbing, and mechanical systems in existing walls. Even if replacing the vanity is part of a larger bathroom remodeling project, a vanity design should be carefully considered. Does the vanity fit the larger design of the bathroom?

A well crafted vanity can be a fine piece of furniture for a bathroom whether a guest powder room or a primary bathroom shared by the household.
