When renovating and adding a new style to your house, you should not forget to take into account the bathrooms, both the main one and those of the bedrooms. In order of importance, the vanity is the main piece of furniture that you should evaluate to choose the best type: the most functional and the one that best suits the needs of the house.
In this new post of our blog, we are going to tell you the different things you need to keep in mind when choosing the perfect vanity for your home.
Choose the correct size
The models may vary depending on the space, drawers, closets, and even the number of wash basins. If the bathroom is small, it is recommended that you choose a single vanity with a drawer and shelf that lets you store items that may not be pleasing to the eye.
But if you live as a couple, the ideal is to have a large bathroom with a double vanity. That is, with two sinks so that they can be used at the same time and have a place to store towels, papers, or perfumes, among other things.
Consider the different styles
Apart from the previous point, it is necessary to consider the style of the bathroom (and the whole house). You can choose an old but classic vanity, with golden handles and elegant finishings, or a modern vanity, without handles and with some doors.
Additionally, colors may vary: for a minimalist bathroom, black or white are ideal; for a Nordic bathroom, brown or light wood; and for a classic and elegant look, a green or even dark gray dresser can be helpful.
Materials
You should not forget about the material. That can determine the lifespan and usage of the vanity.
Materials such as wood or plastic, if not of high quality, will make the vanity look old or may even swell with moisture. On the other hand, ceramic, marble or granite can extend the lifespan.
These premium materials make it possible to use water, paints, or cleaners without damaging the furniture. You can even use hot appliances without damaging the surface finish. However, you should consider damage such as cracks, gaps, or cuts that can make the vanity difficult to use.
Don’t forget the faucets
Finally, we recommend evaluating the material of the taps to avoid problems with the formation of rust or scale. In addition, you must take care of the pipes from hair, chemicals, or other materials that can clog them.
