Bathroom Remodel: Where to begin???
According to recent surveys a bathroom remodel is one of the most significant improvements you can make in a home (as far as reseller value). I believe the reason for this is that the bathroom is fast becoming one of the most important rooms in the home. Long gone are the days when the bathroom was a tiny room secluded in the far back corner of the house. Now the bathroom plays an important role in so many of our lives.
When a client comes to me with a strict budget or limited time I almost always tell them that the most important modification they can begin with for their bathroom remodel, with the most apparent results, will be through the bathroom vanity. Now of course each bathroom is a different situation and must be assessed separately but in most cases the bathroom vanity has the power to give a real “facelift” and work as a strong focal point. It’s also a great starting point because there are so many different options available. Between the differences in style, size, finish and price there is something for everyone.
To help you get started on your search for a new vanity here is a compilation of five new bathroom vanities that I LOVE! Now you’ll begin to understand what I mean when I say there are soooo many different options (and so many are so beautiful!).
My five top picks:
The Wave vanity, by creative bathroom manufacturer Xylem, is a romantic, Asian inspired design. Obtainable in two sizes it is constructed of MDF (medium-density fibreboard) and finished in a rich dark espresso stain with brushed nickel hardware. The vanity can be paired with either a vessel or under-counter sink, depending on your preference. The simple yet intriguing design and warm beautiful color make this vanity so alluring and desirable. It’s the perfect option for so many style bathrooms from oriental to contemporary.
The height of glamour this incredible vanity is aptly known as the Hollywood Sink Chest. The gorgeous mirrored chest is topped by an off-white marble countertop and polished nickel faucet. The delicate bead detailing, gold rub trim and porcelain sink are truly dazzling. A real Hollywood classic!
The Atrio vanity caught my eye because of its sleek, simple design (and my love of black and white and all things modern). The vanity has an extra wide counter but actually takes up very little space since it is wall-hung. The drawer unit is a separate section, complete with a chic leather handle. The vanity is available in wenge or oak wood and includes a ceramic wash basin.
Sonia is most commonly known for its modern design but the Nouvea vanity actually takes an interesting twist with some ornate, deco detailing. The 40” vanity base comes in both wenge and white and the glass countertop is offered in white or black. The beautiful detailing makes the vanity stand apart, an ideal focal point for an otherwise plain bathroom.
Unique and completely beautiful! The gorgeous color of the XO Lefroy Brooks vanity is what puts it on my top five list. Made of Iroko wood the open concept vanity is not like any other I’ve seen before. It’s paired with the XO rectangular ceramic basin and Jo Mono deck mounted basin tap. If you are looking for a vanity that will make a statement without being ostentatious this vanity is ideal.
As you can see there are so many different types of vanities. Each of my favorites is a different style, size, color, finish and price. Choosing the one that’s right for you should be fun! To keep it uncomplicated and not confusing figure out what you need before you begin looking. And always remember that decorating is enjoyable!!!
