As the workstation of the bathroom, you want to make sure your vanity is up to the task of washing, brushing, grooming and storing. Here are some ideas to maximise your bathroom vanity’s potential.
In-drawer outlets
This option is typically more common with custom-designed vanities. An outlet allows you to keep electric toothbrushes, shavers, hair dryers and other devices plugged in and off the benchtop, which reduces clutter.
Shallow and deep storage
One size does not necessarily fit all. Mix up your drawers, and in some cases cabinets, to accommodate small items like makeup as well as larger items like bottles of lotion and electronics. Having just two or three large drawers often results in more clutter, making it hard to find items you’re looking for.
Benchtop space
A workstation is often only as good as its available work surface. If you’re going with a single-sink vanity, consider customising or looking for a prefabricated unit with a sink that sits off-centre. Also consider wall-mounted faucets to help free up bencthop space.
Quality hardware
Cabinet hardware plays a big role in a vanity’s look and feel. Look for classic and elevated hardware that matches the style of the rest of your home.
Lighting
The most common mistake people make is putting recessed ceiling fixtures directly over the mirror. These cast shadows on the face, making daily grooming rituals more difficult. Vertical fixtures or sconces mounted on either side of the mirror are best for casting an even light across the face.
