First Town Design

Your home parallels your appearance. Much like the days in which you wake up and realize that your hairstyle or wardrobe just isn’t cutting it, home décor inspires a similar reaction. At some point, the white carpet and pastels added twenty years ago need to be replaced with something more modern. This extends to all rooms in the house, including the bathroom. With several choices for reinventing the appearance of your home, even fine-tuning the style and décor of your bathroom can make a significant difference. While replacing your bathtub with a walk-in shower is considered a big jump – as well as going from linoleum to natural tiles – more subtle changes, such as adding a bathroom vanity, don’t change the function of every object in the room.

In many cases, an ordinary sink ends up being replaced by a vanity in renovating a bathroom. Aside from the design aspect, the replacement is economical and logical. A bathroom vanity gives your space two features: a sink and storage space for many objects. From storing toiletries, shaving supplies, and hair tools to towels and linens, a bathroom vanity has one or two cabinets below, as well as drawers, to give your bathroom more space. No longer will your medicine cabinet be stuffed with too many items, and, if you don’t have a linens closet, your bathroom vanity cabinet makes a nice storage space.

Bathroom vanity designs range up to 72 inches wide for a double-sink style, but even single sink vanities have sufficient storage room. As the point of renovating your bathroom is to change the style, vanities for the space are designed to accommodate your décor. Traditional bathroom vanities are one option, with a finished wood vanity, porcelain sink basin, and marble countertop. The wood, in this case, is finished with a dark, medium, or light color. If your bathroom is too small for a wooden bathroom vanity and if you’re concerned about the wood warping, contemporary style vanities are another option. Aside from being compact, these vanities are made entirely from glass and metal.

Of course, the traditional and contemporary styles for a bathroom vanity vary with manufacturers. Traditional vanities, for example, can have a natural marble top or granite, as well as a range of colored stones in between. Contemporary styles, additionally, play with the format. A sink basin may rise or sit on top of the countertop and the cabinets may be removable from the countertop and basin.
