Choosing Double Sink Vanities
Double sink vanities provide a practical way to reduce clutter and maximize the available space in a bathroom. With ample counter space and storage under the sink, double vanities also allow more room for organization, which leads to a cleaner, more modern look. A standard double sink vanity includes two sinks, two cabinets and either two small mirrors or one large shared mirror that spans the width of the vanity. Some types may include drawers, towel racks and other optional features. Many customizations are also available to help you create a vanity that matches the style and design of your bathroom.
An interior designer can help design a double vanity style to match your existing bathroom. However, if you aren't interested in a custom-built double sink vanity, there are many different types already available, no matter what your personal taste. From quaint and rustic to trendy and modern, there is a look out there that will suit every personality and price range. Choosing from pre-made models is typically less expensive, so consider your budget when making a decision. You'll often pay more for a designer and custom materials than you will for a vanity that is already built and ready for immediate sale.
In most cases, double sink vanities range in price from a few hundred dollars to thousands of dollars, depending on the materials used and the customizations made. If you shop around, finding a vanity that fits in your budget should not be too difficult.
When choosing a double sink vanity, you will also need to consider the size of your bathroom and the space you have available for installation. Although you may be able to fit a 72-inch vanity into your bathroom, this does not mean it is the most practical choice. Sizes for double sink vanities typically range from about 55 inches to about 78 inches in width. Remember that you will need room to move around the vanity to reach the bathtub or toilet, depending on the layout of your bathroom. Accurately measure the space you have for a vanity before you start shopping to ensure you will have plenty of room to move around after installation. Remember to consider that two people will be able to stand at the double sinks and allow room for both.
There are a few more things you will need to think over before you make a final decision. First, you should be aware that faucets and sometimes the sinks themselves may not be included with your double sink vanity. If not, you will need to budget for these items as well. Also, consider the installation process. In some states, a licensed plumber may be required by law to install the vanity for you. Make sure to check your local laws and create your installation plan from there. Your plumbing supplier may be able to provide advice on choosing a contractor for the project.
