Choosing Bathroom Vanity Units

The contemporary bathroom vanity unit is one that the homeowner must select with special care. The ideal choice is one that gives existing decor new flare and helps to turn the modern bathroom into a spa-like comfort zone.

Many bathroom vanity units on the current market are designed with vessel sinks that can sit on the vanity top. Vessel sinks resemble large bowls and come in an array of materials, including copper, hammered stainless steel, ceramic, glass (opaque and clear), granite, soapstone, and an endless selection of materials.

It is important to measure the size of the space where the vanity will be placed in order to be sure that you are selecting something that is the right fit for your bathroom.

If your aim in replacing your bathroom sink and vanity illuminated mirror unit is to create more space, it would be wish to choose a stylish, slightly larger unit to replace a two-sink unit that might take up the extension of a wall. Everything is so customizable that you can gut everything and start from scratch if that is your wish. Remember that a corner bathroom vanity unit is quite a bit more expensive than the standard one, so if you are on a tight budget, this might not be the option for you.

Faucets and knobs are customizable, too. The units can come with a faucet and knob included or you may select one that you believe fits with your choice of vanity. Be cared to select one, however, whose water flow does not easily splatter or overshoot the distance of the bowl. A chic design also must be functional.

No vanity is complete without a mirror. It gives the unit its appeal and should be selected with care. Existing mirrors can be kept in the bathroom by simply adding a stylish frame. Mirrors can also be heated, fog resistant, ornamental with lots of handwork in the vanity illuminated mirror frame or simple and elegant. Your choice should make the bathroom vanity unit a beautiful centerpiece to your bathroom, and not merely a drab functional sink.
