Vanities bring function and form to your bathroom space, you use them multiple times every single day, to wash, brush, apply makeup, and shave. You spend countless hours of your life in front of a vanity, so it should be chosen carefully to meet your specific needs of design and aesthetics.

A custom-designed tower cabinet can have as many shelves and drawers as you need.

Bathroom vanities come in different shapes, sizes, and dimensions. Height can run from 30 to 36 inches, opt for a lower height if you have children at home. Width can run from 30 to 48 inches but smaller ones may be just 24 inches wide. Bathroom vanities with double sinks may vary in width from 60 to 72 inches. The distance from the front of the vanity to the back wall (depth) is typically 21 inches, and the countertop usually extends 1 -1.5 inches beyond the front of the vanity.

Vanities with architectural detailing

Today’s bathroom vanities are more than cabinets with a sink and a mirror; it is also the place where you store all the implements of your daily bathroom routine and other bathroom supplies. It can also have architectural styling, detailing and lighting. The conventional vanity is a rectangular cabinet attached to a wall with a large open space underneath the sink. However, Austpek Bathrooms has some unconventional bathroom vanities for you to choose from which, such as:

Wall-hung vanity: It features a countertop with or without a skirt and also the legroom for easy access to the sink by the wheelchair user.

Freestanding:  The vanity sits against the wall but is not attached to it. As the name suggests, the unit rests on the bathroom floor. As it is not fixed on the floor, you can easily clean below it.

Console: It consists of a sink countertop supported by legs. The unit offers a cross between a wall-mounted and pedestal sink, the sink and countertop are mounted on the wall.

Corner mount: The vanity may have just one door and enough space to contain the sink plumbing. It is best suited for a powder room and makes efficient use of your corner space which otherwise usually goes unused.
