There is a reason why bathrooms and kitchens are the most frequently redone or remodeled rooms in the home. For one thing they are relatively inexpensive to redo and they are also expected to be more personal than other rooms. What we mean is that bathrooms and kitchens are often the only the rooms where homeowners can actually express themselves. For some strange reason, nearly every other room in the home is expected to be a showcase for visitors, as if your home were little more than a lived-in museum.
But the bathroom is your sanctuary. It is the place where you should feel free to express yourself and embrace slightly more exotic styles and designs. Probably the single most important consideration when you choose to remodel your bathroom is the vanity. After all, that is where you and partner will be spending most of your bathroom time, tending to daily hygiene needs, i.e., brushing your teeth, flossing, shaving, etc.
So, how do you select the right bathroom vanity cabinets? As with any piece of furniture or appliance, you must first make certain that the vanity is the right size. But what exactly is the right size? After all, a vanity is not a washer or a dryer, but rather it is the center of any bathroom. That is why it is important to locate a vanity that offers you all the cabinet and counter space you need without taking up too much space. This goes double if you have a small bathroom that cannot accommodate a large vanity. The easiest way to determine how much space you have is to take precise measurements beforehand. Remember, it is important to not only consider the length from end to end, but also the depth from the wall and the height.
What do you need it for? Yes, that seems like an especially easy question to answer, but the fact is that a vanity can be used as a merely functional device or one that serves many roles. For example, if both you and your spouse plan to use the vanity in the morning, then you will need a much longer vanity that can accommodate two people. You may also require two separate sinks (double sinks) as well as different cabinets and drawers.
After you have determined the basic function of the vanity, you can consider the style of the unit and whether or not you want a contemporary or traditional design. As you might expect, style depends in large part on the type of materials that are used. Some of the most popular materials in contemporary vanities include wood, glass, stone, metal and ceramic. But unless the bathroom is being completely gutted and redone, it should not be difficult to locate a vanity that matches the existing décor.
Ideally, the last thing that you will want to consider is the price. But being sentient beings, we realize that this is a near impossibility. In the end, if you want to find a reasonably priced vanity, you will most likely have to sacrifice style and design. Units that were designed a season or two ago and are already considered out-of-date, will likely sell for substantially less than new models. So, if being hip or au courant is not all that important to you, you might want to consider an old design

Choosing the right bathroom vanity may be the most important decision you make when it comes to remodeling your bathroom. Like a kitchen island, the vanity often serves as the centerpiece of the bathroom. But with thousands of different styles and designs and even a few different materials, selecting a unit can be a daunting task.
In this article we are going to take you through the process and explain exactly how to find the vanity of your dreams. As you might expect, the first thing you must consider is the size of your bathroom and how many people will be using it. If you are married and you have a large bathroom, you might want to consider putting in a double vanity. This simple addition will prevent early morning fights over who gets to brush their teeth first, since each person will have his or her own sink.
But we have gotten a bit ahead of ourselves here. We neglected to explain exactly what a bathroom vanity is. Yes, most of us know that a vanity is nothing more than bathroom cupboards with a sink on top, but did you know that there are two different types of vanities?—built-in and freestanding models. A built-in unit contains the sink and cabinets and is fixed to the wall, while a freestanding model simply comes with the cabinets and is not attached to the wall.
Generally speaking, freestanding models are often only used in smaller bathrooms that require less storage space. So, if you are remodeling your master bathroom, it is always best to go with a built-in model. Not only are they often larger and easier for professionals to install, but they are also studier and will add more value to your home.
Next you will want to consider the material. The most popular vanities are often available in wood, metal or acrylic versions. Of course, the material you choose will almost always depend on the style and décor of the bathroom itself. In recent year, light colored woods have been used by many new homeowners to achieve a cleaner and more modern look.
Why not metal or acrylic? Well, don’t get us wrong, there is absolutely nothing wrong with those materials. Still, they are a bit functional, and for many people the bathroom is already a fairly functional room. What the right wood can do is add an element of warmth, which can be inviting and relaxing at the same time. Wood also reminds us that the bathroom is more than just a place to take showers, groom and relieve ourselves…it is also a room. And rooms in houses have furniture in them. In fact, it is likely that wood vanities are the impetus behind the growing bathroom furniture trend.
After you have selected a material and a style, it is important to determine how much you are willing to pay. Many people are surprised to discover that the price for vanities can range from only a couple hundred dollars to several thousand for custom-built vanities. The price will also depend on the type of material you choose, with wood vanities the most expensive of the group.
