Buying guide for freestanding bathroom vanities
You shouldn't get tempted and buy the beautiful vanity that you see online. Before you fall in love with one, think about a few factors.
Some things to remember are:
Size matters
Freestanding bathroom vanities appear a bit bulkier and can easily make a small bathroom look bigger. So, first measure the bathroom carefully to determine how much space you need for a vanity.
As a rule of thumb, just check if the vanity fits in without overcrowding the room.
What are your storage needs?
If you have a lot of bathroom essentials and aim to keep it organised, you need to check if the vanity comes with cabinets and drawers. So that you can stash all the goodies. Some vanities come with a mix of drawers, cabinets and open shelves. Go for the one that has more shelves or drawers or limited ones based on your need.
What material, style and design to pick?
While wood is the most usual base material, remember that not all wood is created equal. Oak and walnut are high-end options. Yet engineered wood also boasts durability.
Whether you prefer a modern, traditional or minimalistic look, it's your wish. But it's crucial to match your vanity with your bathroom's overall vibe.
Consider the vanity’s material and finish. Wood finishes offer a natural, warm look, while glossy or matte finishes can bring a modern touch.
Sink type
There are often two options for this: integrated sinks are built into the vanity's countertop, whereas the vessel sinks sit on top of the countertop like a bowl.
Countertop material
For the most part, freestanding vanities come with pre-installed countertops made from quartz, marble or granite.
- Quartz countertops are durable, non-porous and require less maintenance.
- Marble offers a luxurious feel and looks so elegant. But it needs some extra care as it's prone to stains.
- Granites are also highly durable materials that are also heat and scratch resistant.
Just check if the vanity base and countertop complement each other, including the bathroom decor.
Plumbing considerations
If you are upgrading an existing bathroom, consider the plumbing layout and double-check if the new vanity's sink and faucet openings would properly align with the pipes.
Check the height of the vanity to ensure it fits comfortably with your plumbing and provides enough clearance underneath.
Other things to consider
Some vanities also come with pre-drilled holes for faucets. So, check if the faucet you pick is compatible with the vanity you choose.
As already told, installation is usually easier for freestanding vanities. But still check whether it requires professional installations, especially with the changing of your plumbing or countertop.
Extra features to look for are
Soft-close doors and drawers protect your vanity from damage and the slam-resistant technology ensures it doesn't make any noise.
Backsplashes are made from the same countertop material and help protect the wall from wall damage.
Dovetail drawers are the ones that come with an interlocking joint at each corner to fuse the drawer's sides together. This design promises to handle heavy use for more years to come.
Final Words
Last but not least, don’t overlook the habit of setting a budget before you start shopping. Because the prices vary based on size, material, and brand. Besides the vanity cost, you must also include the installation and the extra accessories you might want to add to your bathroom while setting it up.
Keep in mind the cost of the vanity itself as well as installation and any additional accessories (like faucets and mirrors).
