A new or the addition of, a great bathroom vanity to an existing bathroom suite can provide a completely new look to any bathroom. Bathroom vanities can act as a centrepiece or focal point to a bathroom and come in an array of styles, designs and materials. Where in the past a medicine cabinet may have sufficed the latest vanities come with a variety of functions and features. They are basically cupboards or units which house the bathroom sink and disguise any plumbing attached to the sink as well as being a storage space for bathroom cleaners and toiletries.
As well as storage units, mirrors, bath and sink faucets and any other bathroom accoutrements come under the classification as vanities. Newer designs have the facility for storing hair driers and the like and some may contain drawers where make up may be kept.
Bathroom vanities are produced in a variety of materials such as wood, rigid plastic, metal or even a combination of these materials. The more expensive may have marble tops which contain the sink unit though imitation marble effects are popular. The cost of the units depends on the quality, the design and the materials that they are made. The most popular bathroom vanities (which can be cheaper) consist of fibre board finished off in laminate or veneer which tend to be mass produced and possibly come in self assembly kit form. At the upper end of the market it is possible to get units with frosted glass doors and subdued concealed lighting.
When choosing a bathroom vanity the amount of space available in the bathroom should be taken into consideration. Smaller bathrooms may only require a single unit whereas a larger area may benefit from a double vanity housing twin sinks for his and her effect and also available are triple vanities which can incorporate not only sinks but a W.C. as well.
