A bathroom vanity is an integral part of any bathroom. Bathrooms are multi purpose rooms where you can take baths, relieve yourself or groom yourself. While the former two purposes require a shower, tub, and toilet area, you will need a vanity area for grooming purposes. If you check out a good bathroom showroom, you will see that there are a variety of options available when it comes to bathroom vanities. Here are some helpful tips on adding a vanity area for your bathroom.
Layout
Before anything else, you will have to decide on the layout of your bathroom vanity. Ideally, your vanity should be located in an area separate from your shower and toilet areas. Vanities are typically positioned right after the entrance to your bathroom and with good reason. Aside from your vanity sink, your vanity area should be relatively dry so you can also store things like towels and rolls of toilet paper.
Sink
Your choice of sink will depend on the size of the area you have available for your vanity. Given a large area, you can opt for a countertop vanity with extra under the counter storage. For smaller bathrooms however, you may have to make do with either a wall mounted sink or a pedestal sink.
Lighting
Since grooming requires a lot of care and attention, your vanity area should be well lit. You should definitely have ample overhead lighting for your vanity. You can also add accent lighting with wall sconces to the sides of your vanity mirror for added effect.
These are just a few of the many options you have available when it comes to setting up a bathroom vanity. For more easy ideas regarding vanities and bathroom remodeling in general, visit a good bathroom showroom today.
