A well-designed bathroom vanity offers a good balance between utility, storage and style. DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Wilmington takes a look at this year’s biggest trends in bathroom vanities.
Double Vanity
Make the most out of a large master bathroom with a double vanity. In addition to the convenience of not having to share a bathroom sink on hectic weekday mornings, a double vanity also works as a focal point for the bathroom.
Double vanities can be as wide as 80 inches, which will give you more than enough room and latitude for any sink style, whether you choose an undermount, pedestal or vessel-style double sink. A single large mirror that spans both sinks can help add visual space to the bathroom.
Neutral Finishes
White, ebony and gray vanities are always in and for good reason: they work with just about any color palette. If you are planning on pacing your bathroom remodeling plans over multiple installations, then a vanity with a neutral finish is a great choice. If you change your mind about your bathroom color palette later on, you can keep your bathroom vanity as it is.
Marble & Granite
Marble and granite countertops are usually associated with kitchens, but a growing number of homeowners choose marble and granite for their bathroom vanities. In addition to neutral colors like white and ebony, natural marble also comes in surprisingly bold colors such as yellow and red, which gives you more flexibility with your bathroom color choices.
Natural marble or granite are aesthetically superior but they do have maintenance requirements, so take this into consideration when choosing them over manmade materials. Low-maintenance options such as cultured marble, made from powdered stone and resin, are available. They vary in aesthetic quality depending on the manufacturer, so it usually helps to ask for samples and see for yourself if cultured marble is on par with your desired aesthetic.
Floating Vanities
In addition to giving your bathroom a modern and stylish look, floating vanities also make the floor area look bigger by allowing continuous square footage, even under the vanity cabinets. Floating vanities also make it easy to keep the bathroom clean since you can access the area under it.
Industrial Elements
Industrial design elements are making their way into the bathroom. Open shelving, exposed steel pipes and pedestal sinks evoke an industrial look that works in both modern and rustic designs. Industrial vanities often feature less storage space, making them ideal for small bathrooms.
