Finding the right bathroom vanity top can become time consuming and quickly confusing. The right vanity top can bring an old bathroom or dressing area alive. The wrong one can make a room look dull or uninviting and can cause costly changes or up-grades in the future. Knowing what you are looking for and how to find it can take the guess work out of the job at hand.
First, measure the size of vanity you are looking to find. Most double sink bathroom or dressing room vanities measure 72 inches. Be sure to also measure the exact width that you will need for the space available. Width can change from room to room and can also make a difference in the appearance of the room. You may want to adjust the width from your present vanity if you need more room for walking around or more room for under-cabinet storage.
The second step is deciding the function of the vanity. An area that is used heavily and in a high traffic area will have special needs. A vanity in a quiet dressing area may simply need to provide added soft lighting and enhanced décor to an already lovely room, while a vanity used regularly for applying make-up or coiffing hair, will have to meet different needs.
Finally, it is time to decide the vanity’s appearance and cost. Marble tops are dramatic and add beauty, while ceramic are functional, less expensive and easy to maintain. Fixtures can be both beautiful and functional and costs vary widely.
Now is the time to use the Internet to search for the information you need to make the right buying decisions. Search engines are waiting to answer your questions and help you find bargains and sales. You can sit comfortably in your living room or office, sip a cup of coffee and allow the computer to do all the running and research. With the size, use, appearance and cost already in mind, a few key strokes is all it takes to open the doors to finding the right 72 inch vanity for your home.
