When undergoing a bathroom remodeling in San Diego, CA, homeowners have a lot of choices to make. Everything from lighting fixtures to shower tiles, bathroom flooring, storage options and more can leave many of these homeowners overwhelmed. One choice that makes a big impact is vanity. This is a main focal point in the bathroom and as such, is a very important decision.

If you have looked at bathroom vanities anytime recently, you know there is a huge variety of options to choose from. This can be very intimidating as you want to be sure to choose the right one for your needs. To help you with this decision, we break down some of these options a little more so you can best decide.

Single or Double?

Vanities today come in not only single but also double options. While this decision may be based on the size of your space, if you have enough room, you will need to decide if you would rather have a single or double. Many couples enjoy the double vanity as it gives each person an area of their own. Husbands don’t have to fight with their wives’ makeup mirror and skin care products being in the way and wives don’t have to complain about whiskers in the sink. This can also be a great option in bathrooms that siblings need to share. However, double vanities do require more space so this might mean sacrificing that larger bathtub or other elements.

Choose the Mounting Style

Another choice you will need to make is what type of mounting style you would like the vanity to be. There are three main styles and they include:

• Freestanding- These vanities are typically the most popular. While they have also attached the wall, these rest on legs or sit directly on the floor.
• Floating- Vanities that are attached to the wall and have an open space underneath are called floating vanities.
• Corner-These vanities are ideal for very small spaces as they sit at a 90-degree angle in a corner of the room.

Select the Countertop Material

Just as there are many styles of vanities, there is no shortage of materials used. Some of the most popular countertop materials used are ceramic, glass, stone, plastic, and even wood. Each material not only has a unique look but also carries its own set of pros and cons.

For example, ceramic is a very low-maintenance option but needs to be sealed occasionally to help it from getting damaged. Stone can add a spa-like feel but needs more maintenance such as polishing. If you are looking for a very sleek, modern feel, glass countertops are perfect. Also, it is easily maintained as it is stain-resistant. When deciding on the material for the countertop, make sure to discuss your needs with your bathroom remodeling professional to ensure you are selecting the best material for your family’s lifestyle.
