Correctly Chosen a Modern Double Vanity Can Be the Most Eye-Catching Fixture in Your Bathroom
It may not be necessary to remind you that the bathrooms today need not be the drab utilitarian place they used to be. You see pictures of classy bathrooms quite often on the pages of magazines. We all have. However, most of the time we admire them and then move on to the next page, wishing we had one like that only. Nonetheless, our rational mind tells us that those are only pictures and only billionaires can afford to have one like that. For us, our old bathroom should suffice.
However, that need not be so. We too can have a dream bathroom if we put our mind to it. With a little bit of imagination (and of course a little money power) we can change the dowdy colorless room into something interesting and welcoming. If you are worried about the cost factor, you need not be so. Because of the incredible designs, even fixtures made with less expensive materials look very chic. A modern bathroom vanity made from glass and stainless steel for example does not cost that much, but if properly chosen and installed against proper background, they look very sophisticated.
Therefore, you must be more careful about the impact each fixtures makes, less about the cost of the material used. If you are redoing the entire bathroom, choose each material carefully so that each fixture goes well with the rest, both in color scheme and in design. If however, you mean to renovate the bathroom partly, the same principle should be adhered too. The whole set up should create a harmonious atmosphere so that spending some time in the bathroom turns out to be a relaxing experience.
As bed is the most conspicuous furniture in the bedroom, the bathroom vanity along with the sink and mirror is most eye-catching fixture in the bathroom. It does not of course mean that shower stalls, showerheads, faucets, commodes etc are unimportant; they are not. However, nothing can draw the attention as much as a properly chosen bathroom vanity can and so we will talk a little about it.
First, let us make it clear what a vanity is. A vanity is a cabinet that holds the sink and hides the plumbing. Being a cabinet, it should ideally have ample storage space for bathroom towels, toiletries and other materials. However, a modern bathroom vanity does not have as much storage space as antique or transitional vanities have. Its beauty lies in its clear-cut lines, unusual shapes and clever use of materials as well as colors. There can be quite a few types of it:
Floor standing or wall hung
Modern single vanity or modern double vanity
Traditional vanities with sinks set in its hollow or with vessel sink set in the countertop
However, these categories are not at all exclusive. Buy a floor standing modern double vanity with vessel sinks if you have enough floor space. If you do not have that, you can go for wall hung double vanity. If the space is even smaller, single vanities are there for you. Such a vanity may be floor standing or wall hung. Vessel sinks are available in all types if models, but if you prefer set in sinks; those are also available in all kinds of models.
In short, if you want you can have a lot to choose from. However, this often creates more problems than it solves; you do not know what to choose or how to make up your mind. Therefore, to make the right choice, have a hard look at your bathroom. Consider its size, shapes, windows, lights and all other existing features. Choose the location carefully. It must have enough light as well as water outlet and inlet. Then, start visualizing different models there.
Try to visualize a floor-standing model first and then a wall hung one. Which looks better? Next, choose between glass, wood and other available materials. Is it big enough for a modern double vanity? If your finance allows that, get yourself one. They are naturally a little more expensive than single vanities, but they are also more eye-catching as well as useful. Only when you have decided on the type of vanity you want, start searching for the right model Otherwise you will be lost.
