If you are married or living with your partner and even remotely considering a bathroom redesign or overhaul, do your partner a favor and opt for a double sink vanity in your bathroom. You have no idea how great this is until you own one. While there are many options in vanities and layouts, if you have the space, this is by far the best thing to do in a shared bathroom.
Having the double sink options allows both of you to use the space at the same time when you’re in a hurry or just gives you a chance to discuss your plans for the day as you prepare for the day ahead. You’ve also added storage for those items that tend to take up valuable counter space below, as well as more space to distribute these items along the vanity. However, I highly recommend keeping as much out of sight as possible, as this is not visually distracting.
As the double sink design for vanities becomes more common, there are more and more suppliers of these specialty vanity tops springing up everywhere. Finding them is the easy part, deciding which one is best for you can be a bit more difficult. Decide the overall look you want for your powder room, and then choose the one that best fits the overall design. Don’t rush your decision because once you’ve decided what you want, things will move pretty quickly.
You’ll need to consider your budget for the project before making any major decisions about specific vanities, cabinets, or other fixtures. Designing a bathroom may be second in cost to designing a kitchen, but it will also have a significant impact on the overall value of your home, making it a worthwhile investment, especially if you’re still going to enjoy yourself. more of your time at home. result of remodeling. To ensure you have enough money to complete your project, set a realistic budget (by this I mean compare prices and know what’s available) with a little leeway for unexpected emergencies that may arise and stick to it.
When you’ve gotten to the part of selecting your vanity bits and pieces, keep in mind that you’ll need the cabinet, countertop, sinks, fixtures, and accessories (drawer handles and knobs). I always recommend mixing and matching to your liking, especially if you can afford it rather than sticking with the pre-made sets that many stores offer.
Once you have assembled all the pieces, you need to decide how they will be installed. Do you have the knowledge and confidence to do the installation yourself or do you need to pay someone to do it for you? I always recommend that if you can afford to have someone else do it, go that route. This way, if something is broken or damaged during the installation process, it should be taken care of and repaired by them. If you break it yourself, it’s your own bad luck. This of course adds a significant expense to the total cost of your project and if you have some basic knowledge of plumbing, cabinetry and other steps involved you should be fine. The end goal, of course, is the beautiful double vanity you’ll have when the project is complete.
