How To Choose The Vanity Size, Shape, & Material For Your Bathroom

Bathroom vanities are one of the most important features of any bathroom remodel. Vanities come in a variety of designs, shapes, and sizes, making them almost fully customizable to the style and needs of your new bathroom. Bathroom vanities typically come in the industry-standard sizes and shapes, but they can also be custom-designed for you if the standard shapes & sizes aren’t right for your bathroom. In this article, we’ll talk about how you can choose the vanity that is the perfect size, shape, and material for your next bathroom remodel! If you’re a homeowner in the Greater Boston area that is in the market for a new bathroom vanity, Fabrizio Kitchen & Bath in Peabody offers one of the widest vanity selections in the region!

How To Choose The Right Vanity Size 

The standard height for bathroom vanities in the United States typically falls around 32 inches, with the “comfort” height averaging around 36 inches. This is fine and works in most cases until you come into homes with smaller or slightly larger spaces with the need for bathroom vanity adjustments. If you feel like this “industry standard” size isn’t right for your bathroom, don’t be afraid to speak with a bathroom design specialist, like our team at Fabrizio Kitchen & Bath, about alternative options for sizing!

How To Choose The Right Vanity Shape  

Once you’ve selected the vanity size that’s right for your bathroom remodel, the next step is selecting the shape. Bathroom vanities come in a variety of shapes, including cabinet-style vanities, freestanding vanities, floating vanities, pedestal vanities, and many more.

• Cabinet-Style Vanities: These vanities sit on the floor and are attached to the wall with the typical kitchen-style cabinets.
• Freestanding Vanities: These vanities are similar to cabinet-style vanities, but they do not attach to the wall
• Floating or Wall-Mounted Vanities: Floating vanities do not sit on the floor, instead they mount to the wall and have space underneath them
• Pedestal Vanities: Pedestal sinks do not have any counter space, as they are just a sink with a pedestal that extends to the floor

Different vanity shapes have different pros and cons, and determining your needs and the style you want in your new bathroom will help you determine which vanity style is right for you!

How To Choose The Right Vanity Material 

The next step in picking out your ideal bathroom vanity is to determine which materials you want it to be made out of. Bathroom vanities come in a wide range of materials for the counter and cabinet portions of the vanity. Some of the most common materials for the countertop portion include granite, quartz, porcelain, wood, laminate, and more. For the cabinet portion of a vanity, solid wood or wood substitutes are typically used, like medium density fiberboard, particle board, or plywood. Each different material has different pros and cons, such as price, durability, ease of cleaning, and more. The style and budget you have in mind for your bathroom remodel will help you determine the vanity materials that are right for you!
