Choosing Vanity Units and Double Sinks

 Choosing Vanity Units and Double Sinks

You’re likely to spend a good amount of time stood in front of your vanity unit, so ensuring it meets your needs and wants is a big thing for your new bathroom.

There are of course countless combinations of taps, basins and mirrors to suit you space, though it tends to be the details that make all the difference. For instance, you can turn your mirror into a cabinet for extra storage space, or even get extra shelves and holes underneath for things like face wash, flannels and a hair dryer.

You could even have lights installed around it to give you the best view while you’re standing at the sink.

While most vanity units are positioned against a wall, there’s nothing to stop you moving yours to the corner to make the most of the floor space you have. There are plenty of sink and cupboard units designed specifically for corner units – all you have to do it pick the one you want.

Of course it’s definitely worth discussing this with an experience bathroom fitter, as this could involve extra plumbing work.

Either way, it’s good to find out all the options. If you’re lucky enough to have the space, you’ve always got the choice to turn your traditional single sink unit into a double. Not only does it stop you fighting over who gets to brush their teeth first, but with the extra room, there are all kinds of alternatives for customising each space to suit.

Cubby holes for your bathroom products help keep everything in order, though the real beauty of having a double sink is you get twice the storage space. The extra cupboards mean you have plenty of room to store everything from towels to toilet rolls, without causing any clutter around the room.

When it comes to style, the sky really is the limit. You could go traditional and make it a ‘His & Hers’ unit – his grooming gear on one side, her beauty regime on the other. Though it doesn’t always have to be that obvious. Subtle details like a shaver socket or a small vanity mirror can help pick out the smaller differences.

Of course there’s no reason why you should make them different at all. Some of the most beautiful bathroom double sink units are the ones that match identically. It gives the room a great sense of order and cleanliness, and quite simply looks extremely impressive. Traditional, contemporary, single or double mirrors, extra storage or a minimalist bathroom feel – all the options are there. You just have to pick and choose your favourite bits and combine them to make your perfect bathroom vanity unit.
