Single or Double sink? Pedestal or vessel?
Whether you go with a simple traditional style or custom-designed vanity, before you start, be sure you have enough space for the look you want.
Table of Contents
Your bathroom vanity usually includes a sink, a countertop, a place to store toiletries and linens, and a mirror.
Vanities come in six basic types: pedestal, free-standing, floating, vessel, under-mounted sink and cabinet.
Pedestal
Requiring very little space, a pedestal sink is the simplest type with no countertop or space for storage. It’s just a sink and basin. But it can fit into any style of home and is easy to install.
Free-Standing
Much like pedestal style, a free-standing vanity also has a minimal profile but is available in a square or rectangular shape that can support two sinks. Great for a master bath.
Floating
A wall-mounted vanity, also called floating, is directly mounted (securely) on your bathroom wall. Gives your bathroom an open, contemporary look with floor space underneath. If you don’t need much storage space, you can simply add a countertop.
Vessel
This style sits above your counter with a bowl that arises from the sink area and has its own separate tap. A vessel sink can be quite elaborate with intricate patterns and designs and made of metal or porcelain.
Under-Mounted Sink
An under-mounted sink has a built-in basin mounted below the countertop of your vanity. This style has a sleek, smooth appearance but has limited space underneath the sink and is a bit more difficult to install.
Cabinet
A vanity cabinet is designed much like your kitchen cabinets with pull-out drawers that can be custom outfitted for your storage needs. Available in many door and hardware styles.
Not a distinct type but if you have a tiny bathroom, you may opt for a corner vanity to take advantage of the limited space.
Once you choose the type and size of your vanity, you’ll want to select its material and shape, style of doors (unless it’s a pedestal) and the right countertop.
