Vanity cabinets

Vanity cabinets offer a compact and practical solution for any bathroom layout. Besides enhancing the overall look of your bathroom, they provide extra storage space that can be used in both small and large bathrooms. Bathroom furniture manufacturers offer countless colors, finishes, and sizes, so a vanity cabinet can perfectly match your ideas and bathroom style. Don’t forget to coordinate your bathroom furniture with your sink. Alternatively, you can buy a cabinet with a sink to ensure 100% compatibility.

The perfect vanity cabinet – how to choose?

When selecting a vanity cabinet, there are several questions to consider and basic criteria to guide you to the right choice.

1. Appropriate size: The vanity cabinet should take into account not only the dimensions and layout of the bathroom but also the household’s needs. A larger family has different requirements (and more items) than a busy professional who spends little time at home.
2. Installation: Vanity cabinets can be wall-mounted or freestanding. Wall-mounted options look very elegant and make cleaning easier, as you can access the floor beneath the cabinet. Freestanding cabinets usually provide more storage space. Moreover, you don’t need to drill for wall mounts (or, for wall-mounted cabinets, you need prepared wall supports), which simplifies installation.
3. Type of sink: Consider your sink. Do you want a vanity cabinet with a sink or without? Will you buy the sink separately? In that case, consider its compatibility. It’s always better to purchase the sink and the bathroom furniture from the same manufacturer and ideally from the same series. This is important not only for appearance – a cabinet designed for a countertop sink will look different from one intended for an integrated sink.
4. Doors or drawers? When choosing a bathroom cabinet, you should also decide whether you prefer doors or drawers.

OUR TIP: When selecting a sink to go with a vanity cabinet, remember that all furniture sinks can be wall-mounted, but not all wall-mounted sinks are furniture sinks. Often, customers buy a standard sink and then struggle to find the most suitable cabinet.

Vanity cabinets and design

What else can influence your choice? Design! Not every cabinet looks the same. Appearance is affected not only by the material of the vanity cabinet but also by its texture, color, and the handles or legs (or lack thereof). Cabinets are most often made from MDF or LDT boards, but solid wood can also be used, which usually comes at a higher price.

An important aspect is the finish of the vanity cabinet. Popular options include white, anthracite, black, or grey shades, as well as wenge or wood-effect finishes. Customer favorites include oak, ash, stained spruce, dark walnut, or reddish cherry. Cabinet handles are usually made from metal, stainless steel, plastic, or wood.

A vanity cabinet is useful not only in the bathroom but also in the toilet. Many households place vanity cabinets with a sink and faucet in the toilet as well. This improves hygiene, as you can wash your hands immediately after using the toilet. At the same time, hygiene essentials and spare toilet paper are elegantly stored. For smaller rooms, cabinets with a small washbasin are recommended.
