Bathroom sink cabinets, also called vanities, have been a staple in bathroom décor for decades. Before cabinets were added to bathrooms, a sink simply stood alone on a pedestal. Lately, this pedestal-style sink has been back in style and is a very popular choice in many bathroom remodeling jobs. However, a bathroom vanity with a cabinet below for storage and a counter on top is still one of the most convenient options for any bathroom.
You especially see this style of bathroom sink cabinets in most master suite bathrooms. Most homes that have been built in the last 10-20 years have a floor plan that includes a large master bedroom with an attached master bath. These bathrooms are typically very large with most offering a long countertop with his and her double sinks. This option allows for plenty of storage underneath while accommodating homeowners with plenty of counter space to place daily health and beauty essentials or simply use as an area to decorate.
Most bathroom vanities are built into the home, but in larger scale home markets and in the case of a bathroom remodel, many people choose the sleeker look of cabinets that look like beautiful or antique freestanding furniture. These cabinets are usually made of high-quality wood and are usually topped with beautiful granite or marble countertops. Often times, the sink looks like a free-standing bowl rather than an indentation. You can easily spend well over five figures on many of these high-quality pieces. You can also enjoy the look of some very unique bathroom sink cabinets for under $500.
Don’t overlook the option of buying a beautiful antique sideboard or low dresser or bureau that can be converted into a bathroom sink cabinet. Almost every antique furniture store will have something that would be appropriate. If the piece is made of a good solid wood like oak, cherry, or maple, it won’t matter if the surface is a bit bumpy. You can easily renew this type of quality furniture.
Many large cabinet retail outlets also offer a back room with their “scratch and dent” inventory. Many of the pieces in this room are not there because they are damaged, but because they are additional inventory from a previous job that has no match. Since the bathroom is a smaller room than the kitchen, you may only need one or two matching cabinets. This makes the job of finding a good quality cabinet piece at a discounted price even easier. Don’t be afraid to ask about this option. You may find the perfect bathroom sink cabinet just waiting for you to take home.
