Modern bathroom vanities and medicine cabinets come in a huge variety of styles and finishes, from the simulated antique look to sleek modern designs. Your choice of vanity unit and storage cabinet can have a big influence over the look and feel of your bathroom, so it's worth putting some thought into your decision to make sure you get it right. Think about the theme of your decor, as well as the layout of your bathroom. The positioning of your bathroom cabinets and vanity set plays an important role in the overall appearance of the whole room.

A well designed bathroom sink vanity can be adapted to store all sorts of items to help you keep your counter tops neat and tidy. You could have partitions in the drawers for small things such as makeup, with shelving for larger toiletries, and perhaps a pull out trash can to save space. Door racks for holding hair dryers or electric shavers are another useful feature of many contemporary vanity units. Similarly, bathroom medicine cabinets can hold all kinds of accessories, from towels to toothpaste. They can rest on the floor or be wall mounted or situated in a corner, depending on the best use of the space available.

Bathroom sinks can be made from a number of materials, from traditional porcelain to rustic looking stone or fashionable glass. Vanity tops can be custom made from your choice of material, including polished marble and granite. As well as choosing whether to have a furniture style vanity with legs or a block cabinet design, you can select all kinds of finishes, from unfinished wood to glazed maple or distressed paint. Attention to details such as your bathroom cabinet hardware can make all the difference to the end result. Try to find hinges and handles that match to the style and finish of your bathroom fixtures, such as your faucets.

Vanity units and cabinets are relatively easy to install and can work wonders at transforming an outdated bathroom. Vanities and cabinets for bathrooms are available in loads of different designs and can be the icing on the cake when remodeling your bathroom.

My husband and I just remodeled our bathroom with lower priced fixtures, vanity, shower door and mirror. There are a lot of lower priced items out there on the market that look upscale. If you search around enough you will find them. We did.

I agree with you. We are planning on remodeling our bathroom and we have shopped around in many places, we have found a lot that looks really nice without a huge price tag.

I like Marble the best, but marble is very expensive.

Comment #4 Andy from Sleepyland -

You only have to buy marble once!

Glass is the way to go marble is old and out dated.

If you weren't selling glass vanities would you have the same point of view?

We have matching vanities and mirrors in both of our bathrooms. It just made it easier when we bought them. They only difference is that they are different dimensions because the upstairs bathroom is bigger than the downstairs one. I liked the vanites because for one the price and the actual sink came with the vanity for one price. Normally I believe they don't come together. They are a dark wood and look really nice up against the white of the tub and toilet. I found one that I really liked but it was a bit pricey. It looked like a dresser with several drawers on the front and the sink completely layed into the top. It was really neat. I like the ones we have and I like the price with paid for an all in one combo even better.
