When it comes to décor in the bathroom, there are only so many things one can do with most elements of the bathroom. There are only so many colors a person can paint their walls or have their tiles. One element of a bathroom stands out above most others, though, in its ability to completely change the look of a room. What feature has such remarkable power over décor? The answer is bathroom vanities, of course. Bathroom vanities are able to set the mood for the whole room from their style, and are inevitably the focal point of a bathroom’s décor.

With bathroom vanities playing such a vital part of the décor in your bathroom, the different styles of vanities available obviously merit some consideration. Finding the right vanity can be a bit tricky, but it is well worth the effort. A vanity can, after all, do a number of things for your décor. Firstly, the right vanity can fit perfectly into your décor and become the central point that brings your whole room together. On the other hand, finding a vanity that catches your eye can just as easily be the thing which inspires your décor. In this case, rather than being the thing that brings your room together, it is the starting point on top of which you build your room.

Whether it is the focal point or the cornerstone, though, there are nearly endless different bathroom vanities available. Each one will have a different effect on the room. But with so many possibilities, it is easy to get caught up in the impact that the flashy and dramatic styles have. It is, however, important to remember that in many cases simplicity is the best way to go. Your basic vanity usually consists of a countertop with an inlaid sink, as well as a mirror, and often some form of cabinet underneath. This design is quite adequate to fit into most decors. The vanity itself can be stained wood, or painted, whichever works best, and the countertop can be any number of surfaces. The greatest advantage of going with a more basic model is that it will give your room a kind of simple elegance that models that are more glamorous may lack.

If one takes it literally, you would think that bathroom vanities are just that, bathroom items that cater to man’s conceit, pride or self-adulation. Well, almost but not quite. It appeals not only to our need for aesthetic gratification, but more importantly to our functional needs.

The basic bathroom vanity includes a mirror or medicine cabinet above, a sink or basin and counter or ‘top’ below, and a cabinet beneath. In some cases the sink and top are one unit. To call the bathroom vanity an important fixture in the bathroom would be an understatement. Everyone stops at the vanity upon entering or leaving the bathroom, whether it is to wash hands, fix hair or find lotion. Homeowners today often use vanities to set the tone or motif in decorating a bathroom. Bathroom vanities are available in a variety of styles and sizes dependent upon taste, functionality and financial commitment.

Bathroom vanities can be made according to the priority of style and design, function and practicality, or cost. For example, a bathroom vanity focused on style might include leather wrapped wooden doors with leather loop pulls and a leather wrapped mirror, with a form-flowing vitreous china sink and top, or a hand-carved gilded Louis IV mirror above an Italian marble top and marble sink set in a cabinet with ornately carved doors, for a more antique look. If homeowners place function and practicality as the top priority, they might choose faucets set high in the wall for easy washing, a raised basin made from easy to clean materials and a scratchproof top with splashguard.

The discerning customer should be aware of the vanities’ height. Many people end up with vanities that are too short for many adults. Remember to measure your space before ordering or making your bathroom vanity.

If price is the deciding factor you may have to exchange marble, hardwood, enamel glaze for particleboard, foil, polypropylene, fiberboard, and acrylic paint, and a basic ceramic sink instead of a Tuscan marble basin. However, price doesn’t have to compromise style or aesthetic quality, as there are a myriad of excellent antique reproductions and contemporary vanities to choose from and if you are handy there is an array of home assembly kits available on the market. The variety of mirrors and vanity lights available will easily fit into any budget. The bathroom vanity can bring warmth interest and drama to any bathroom and should be carefully considered as part of any home decorating plan.
