But with so many different options to choose from, where do you even start? Don't worry! We'll guide you through the process so you can find the vanity that not only meets your practical needs but also enhances the aesthetic appeal of your bathroom. And as always, Esos Surfaces is here to help you complete your dream bathroom.
When you start looking for a vanity unit, the first thing you need to consider is the size of your room. One that's too big will make your bathroom feel tiny, while one that's too small may simply not be good enough in terms of storage or surface area. Measure your bathroom carefully, noting the location of plumbing, electrical sockets, doors, and windows that may affect placement. Your perfect vanity will fit comfortably into your space and allow you to move around freely. Remember, the most beautiful vanity in the world won't be pleasant to use if the bathroom feels cramped.
The second most important factor to consider is the style of your bathroom. Your vanity should express what the whole room is about. If you have a really modern bathroom, then you'd want something sleek, minimalist, with clean lines and just a very simple, dead design. If the bathroom is more traditional, then a vanity with lots of ornate detail, a rich wood tone, or perhaps a classic marble worktop would be great. Transitional styles work just as well, combining modern and traditional for flexibility. The vanity really sets the tone for the rest of the bathroom, so find one that fits your vision.
Now on to storage—the bathroom vanity isn't just a pretty face; it needs to be functional. Think about what you'll be storing in the bathroom, then choose a vanity that offers just enough storage to keep everything in one place. Drawers and cabinets are among the most important when it comes to toiletries, towels, and bathroom essentials. If your bathroom space is limited, choose a vanity with smart solutions like pull-out shelves or built-in organizers. This will help you keep your bathroom tidy without compromising on style. Just remember that a tidy vanity means a peaceful bathroom.
The next essential element of your vanity unit is the worktop. As well as being durable and easy to clean, it should really add style to your bathroom. Many different materials can be used, including but not limited to granite, marble, quartz, and solid surface materials. Each has its own merits, so think about your lifestyle and how much maintenance you're willing to commit to. If you're looking for low maintenance, consider quartz: it's non-porous, won't stain, and comes in a wide range of colors and patterns. Esos Surfaces offers an exceptional range of worktop options that combine beauty with practicality, ensuring the perfect match for your vanity.
Speaking of worktops, don't forget the sink! The type of sink you use can make a big difference to the functionality and style of your bathroom vanity. A few types of sink include undermount, vessel, and integrated sinks. Undermount sinks are mounted underneath the worktop for a sleek look that is very easy to clean. Vessel sinks sit on top of the worktop, adding a sculptural element to your bathroom design. Integral sinks are built into the worktop, giving a sleek, modern look with no seams to worry about. The type of sink you choose should not only complement the style of your vanity but also suit your daily needs.
Taps are another important consideration when choosing a bathroom vanity. Your tap should be chosen in a style that matches your vanity and sink while still performing the function you need. Consider the height and reach of the tap, as well as the type of handle you like. For a modern look and ease of use, a single-handle tap is perfect. For a touch of traditional elegance, choose a two-handle tap. The finish is also important—whether you want chrome, brushed nickel, or matte black, your tap should complement the other elements of your bathroom design.
Lighting is an afterthought for most when choosing a bathroom vanity, but it is an incredibly important part of creating the perfect space. It can really make all the difference in your bathroom, especially when it comes to morning routines. Make sure your vanity is well lit with a combination of overhead and task lighting. Wall sconces on one or both sides of a mirror can provide even, flattering lighting, while an overhead fixture can add ambient lighting to the room. And don't forget about natural light! If you have a window in your bathroom, make the most of it by placing your vanity where it can benefit from the natural light.
Mirrors are the final piece of the bathroom vanity jigsaw. The first thing to remember when choosing a mirror is that it is not only functional but also a very important design element that can make or break the essence of your bathroom space, making it feel spacious and light. Choose a mirror that matches the size and style of your vanity. For example, a large framed mirror can be a really nice addition to a classic bathroom style, while a frameless mirror will enhance the clean lines of a modern vanity. You could also consider a mirror with integrated lighting or a medicine cabinet for extra storage.
Once you've selected the ultimate vanity, remember that the details make the difference: soap dispensers, towels, and all those little touches complete the new bathroom. Accessorize your space with bathroom accessories to continue the style of your vanity and inject some much-needed personality into your space. Need a little inspiration?
