Benefits of Installing a New Bathroom Vanity

The bathroom is the place you get ready for the day and wind down before bed. Once you get out of the bath or shower, you need a well-lit vanity with plenty of storage and counter space to facilitate brushing, shaving and tweezing. If your existing vanity is dark, cramped and cluttered, it could be time for a bathroom upgrade! Consider the benefits of installing a new vanity and tips for designing one that you’ll love.

Why Install a New Vanity?

If you already have a perfectly functional bathtub, shower and toilet, it’s possible that the vanity is the only feature you want to change in your bathroom. Consider how much this upgrade can benefit you:


  • Improved organization: With drawers, shelves and cabinets in all the right places, you’ll have plenty of room to store your toiletries out of sight.
  • More counter space: Look forward to stress-free mornings with more counter space to accommodate your hair care products, makeup and more.
  • Better lighting: With a new vanity often comes new light fixtures. Never miss a spot shaving or mess up your makeup again with improved sconce lights or wall-mounted lighting.
  • Up-to-date style: If your existing vanity has peeling, water-damaged cabinet doors and ancient laminate counter-tops, it’s time to do away with this embarrassing eyesore. Upgrade to modern finishes so you can proudly show off your bathroom when guests come over.
  • Greater shareability: Replacing your vanity could be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for to install a second sink, making it easier to share the bathroom with your partner.

Designing a Vanity You’ll Love

If you hope to maximize the above benefits, your vanity must be designed to meet your needs. Here are the top things to consider:

  • Pick a layout: Don’t let your vanity’s current location restrict you. With some plumbing upgrades, it’s possible to relocate the cabinets and sink to a different wall.
  • Determine how many sinks you need: Space is the only restriction to having double sinks. If your vanity is less than 60 inches wide, you may only have the option of a single sink. Even at greater than 60 inches wide, you may still opt for one sink and extra counter space.
  • Choose styling details to suit your tastes and needs: Now comes the fun part. Choose a vanity style, color, storage options, counter-top material, sink and faucet style, mirror, lighting, and more in the design you prefer.
