If your budget allows only one bathroom upgrade, choose a new vanity. It’s the focal point of the room and can instantly refresh your space.

Why a Vanity?

Bathroom vanities are easier and more affordable to replace than showers or toilets. With basic tools and DIY skills, you can install a stylish new vanity yourself.

Choose a Size

Size depends on your bathroom space:

• Large bathrooms: Go for extra-wide vanities with oversized mirrors.
• Small bathrooms: Use pedestal sinks and hanging mirrors to create the illusion of space.
• Extra storage tip: hang decorative fabric around pedestal sinks to hide items underneath.

Select a Theme

Vanities set the tone for your bathroom, so choose a cohesive theme:

• Modern flair: Art deco, black, or lacquered wood vanities
• Classic approach: Farmhouse, shabby chic, or traditional styles
• Preview multiple designs online or in-store to make the right choice

Pay Attention to Countertops

Countertop material affects durability and aesthetics:

• Choose nonporous materials to resist moisture damage
• Check materials carefully, especially when repurposing furniture as a vanity
• Consider upgrading in phases to mix styles until you find your perfect look

By selecting the right size, theme, and countertop, you can quickly transform your bathroom with a stylish, functional vanity.
