Bathroom Vanity - 7 Things to Consider | PelionMark

So, you're ready to embark on a bathroom renovation, and a new vanity is at the top of your list. That's fantastic! But before you dive headfirst into the exciting world of bathroom sinks and countertops, let's take a step back and consider a few key factors. These will ensure your new vanity not only looks stunning but also functions flawlessly for years to come (and maybe withstands a few splashes!).

1. Size and Configuration

We get it; you're probably eager to start browsing those stylish bathroom vanities. But hold on! Before you fall in love with a piece that's too big (or too small) for your bathroom, grab your measuring tape. Measure the width, depth, and height of your available space. Consider doorways, windows, and other bathroom fixtures to ensure a comfortable fit.

Think about how you use your bathroom. Do you need a single sink vanity or a double sink vanity? Would a freestanding vanity provide a more open feel, or would a wall-mounted option maximize floor space? And don't forget about storage! Drawers, shelves, and cabinets can make all the difference in keeping your bathroom organized and clutter-free.

PelionMark Tip: We're experts at maximizing space and functionality in bathroom renovations. Our design-build team can help you create a custom vanity that perfectly fits your bathroom's layout and your storage needs.

2. Style and Design

Now for the fun part! Your bathroom vanity plays a crucial role in your bathroom's overall design, working in harmony with other elements to create a cohesive and stylish look. Do you envision a sleek and modern bathroom with clean lines and minimalist hardware? Or perhaps a classic and timeless style with ornate details and rich finishes?

Consider the overall aesthetic of your bathroom. A modern farmhouse vanity might look out of place in a contemporary bathroom, while a traditional vanity might not fit a minimalist design. Think about countertop materials, colors, and hardware to create a cohesive and stylish bathroom design.

PelionMark Tip: We'll guide you through the exciting world of vanity styles and help you choose the perfect piece to complement your bathroom's design and your personal taste.

3. Creating a Focal Point (and Thinking Ahead)

While your bathroom vanity is a key design element, it doesn't always have to be the main focal point. Sometimes, it's nice to let another feature steal the show.

Think about what you want to draw attention to in your bathroom. A stunning arched mirror can add a touch of drama and elegance, while a beautifully tiled feature wall can create a captivating backdrop. Perhaps a freestanding soaking tub is the star of your bathroom oasis.

If you're planning a phased renovation, consider how your vanity choice can complement future upgrades. A smaller vanity might free up space for a future feature wall or a luxurious shower enclosure. By thinking ahead, you can ensure your bathroom design remains cohesive and adaptable as you make changes over time.

PelionMark Tip: Our design experts can help you create a balanced and harmonious bathroom design, whether your vanity is the focal point or a supporting player. We'll help you choose complementary elements and plan for future upgrades to ensure your bathroom always looks its best.

4. Durability and Quality

Let's face it, bathrooms can be tough on furniture. Moisture, spills, and daily wear and tear can take their toll on a vanity. That's why it's crucial to choose durable materials and construction.

Opt for moisture-resistant materials like solid wood or engineered wood with a durable finish. Consider countertop options like quartz or granite that can withstand spills and resist stains. And don't forget about the sink! Undermount sinks offer a seamless look and easy cleaning, while vessel sinks add a touch of drama.

PelionMark Tip: We believe in quality craftsmanship and long-lasting materials. We'll help you choose a vanity built to withstand the test of time (and maybe a few enthusiastic splashes from the kids).

5. The PelionMark Difference: Custom Creations with a Unique Twist

Here's a unique feature at PelionMark: we don't just install vanities; we create them. We believe your bathroom vanity should be as unique as you are, reflecting your style and perfectly complementing your space. That's why we offer custom vanity design and fabrication, taking your vision from concept to reality.

Our skilled craftsmen meticulously build each vanity, using high-quality materials and innovative techniques. But here's where things get interesting: we partner with a local auto body shop for the final touches. Yes, you heard that right! We leverage their expertise in automotive finishes to create vanities with unparalleled durability and a unique, head-turning aesthetic.

Imagine a vanity with a deep, lustrous finish that rivals a luxury car's paint job. Or perhaps a textured finish that adds a touch of unexpected artistry. With PelionMark, the possibilities are endless. And these finishes are incredibly durable, resisting scratches, stains, and the test of time. (You might even be tempted to grab the car wax for an extra shine!)

6. Future-Proofing

Your bathroom vanity is an investment, so it's wise to think about the future. Will your needs change in the coming years? Perhaps you're planning to age in place, or maybe your family is growing.

Consider a vanity with adaptable features. A vanity with a removable countertop allows you to update the look later without replacing the entire unit. Choose a style that can accommodate future upgrades, like adding a second sink or incorporating smart technology.

PelionMark Tip: We design bathrooms with the future in mind. Our team can help you create a flexible and adaptable space that can evolve with your needs and style preferences.

7. Don't Forget the Details!

While the big picture is important, don't overlook the details. Small touches can make a big difference in your bathroom's overall design and functionality.

• Hardware: Choose hardware (knobs, pulls) that complements your vanity style and adds a touch of personality.
• Lighting: Consider lighting that enhances the vanity area and creates the right ambiance for your bathroom.
• Mirrors: A well-placed mirror can make your bathroom feel larger and brighter.
• Backsplash: A stylish backsplash can protect your walls and add a decorative element.

PelionMark Tip: We'll help you select the perfect finishing touches to complete your bathroom vanity and create a space you'll love.
