When you think about or picture a bathroom vanity, what do you see? Some people might think that this is simply the bathroom sink itself or the sink with storage space underneath of it. Others would say that those ideas are completely wrong. The truth of the matter is this: a bathroom vanity can be either the sink alone or the sink and storage cabinet underneath. Is there one specific style of vanity cabinet or are there many to choose from? There actually are more different sizes, styles and colors to choose from than you can shake a stick at!

First choice: the sink style

This is the very first thing to decide upon; what size, shape and style will your bathroom vanity sink be? Will it be round, oblong (oval), rectangular or square? The next question from there is what material are you looking for; do you want glass, metal or a traditional porcelain sink? Another thing to think about is what color sink are you looking for? Most people know that they can choose what shape and material that their sink will be, they are not aware that they can choose what color that their bathroom vanity sink will be. Most think that a sink is either white or silvery-grey (stainless steel).

Now to choose a cabinet style

This is the other factor. What size, shape and color will you choose for the cabinet portion of your bathroom vanity? This is something that people don’t really think about as having a choice about. This could not be further from the truth. There are so many different choices available to you that you will wonder why you have not known about these choices before you decided to make some changes. There is nothing surprising about this. A good many people do not know that there are a lot of bathroom vanity cabinet choices out there. Some do know about the many choices, but choose to stay with a pretty simple design for whatever reason.

Prices vary greatly

This is the third factor to think about. Many people would like to have a very fancy bathroom vanity but simply cannot afford to, so they choose the simpler designs to either keep their costs down or stay within their budget. Mind you that a bathroom vanity can be a simple freestanding sink.
