Bathroom Decorating Ideas: Vanity Sink Furniture & Countertops

By:


A very simple way to add warmth and elegance to your next bathroom remodel or even your next bathroom redecorating project is to start by changing out the vanity and sink. Once you have found the perfect vanity, the rest of the project will come together in a snap. One of the best styles on the market today is the relatively new furniture style vanity. This type of vanity combines the look of a high-end design piece with a low to moderate price that is easy on your project budget.

Furniture style vanities have become very popular over the last several years because of their combination of beauty and price. They add style to your bathroom and they are also very simple to install, a major plus for any do it yourselfer.

This style of vanity comes in several wood types: cherry, mahogany, or bamboo (just to name a few). You will see that you can choose from a variety of wood finishes and there are a multitude of choices for the countertop. You will find that furniture style vanities are also available in a high quality medium density fiberboard. This type typically has a hand painted finish.

Countertop selection for furniture style vanities is also quite diverse. Select from a solid stone top or an under mount sink. Stone tops are most commonly made out of granite, marble, or travertine. Granite is the most durable. Marble and travertine are more porous stones that will require more maintenance in the long term. You should take this into consideration depending on the level of use that is expected for the vanity. A powder bath vanity will see much less use than a master bath vanity. The under mount sinks are ceramic, and come in various colors, most commonly white and bisque.

The ease of installation is due to the large pre cut hole in the back of the cabinet for the plumbing. This will usually prevent you from having to make any significant plumbing changes in your bathroom. The counter tops come pre-drilled for standard faucet installation, making it easy for you to select your hardware at the same time.

As is the case with most cabinetry, furniture style vanities can vary widely in quality and price. The simplest way to be sure you are getting the best product for your money is to do your research and only purchase from a reputable company.
