There are many advantages to having a double sink bathroom vanity. The most obvious to those of us who are married or live with our significant other is the unbelievable amount of clutter that can build up on your counter top, as well as the difficulty of sharing a sink when you’re both trying to get ready to go out. A lot of people keep quite a few things on their counters, especially if cabinet space is limited. To name just a few, there’s toothbrushes, soaps, toothpaste, deodorant, colognes or perfumes, body sprays, jewelry and facial cleansers. Now imagine two people with two different sets of things they use.
The simple remedy to the issue of sharing bathroom space with another person, if you have a large enough bathroom for it, is the double sink vanity. You can choose a vanity in just about any style you can think of, each with their own defining characteristics and their own sets of pros and cons.
A modern double vanity will feature two sinks, clean lines and a minimalist design approach. You can choose drop in sinks, bottom mount sinks or more elegant vessel sinks. Each sink type also has its own advantages and disadvantages. If the modern look and angular design with sharp edges appeals to you and whoever you share the room with, this is definitely the way to go if you’re going for a complete remodel, or if your bathroom furniture already flows with a modern aesthetic.
If one of you likes the look of the modern minimalist style, but the other prefers curves to the sharp edges and angles of the style, a good compromise would be contemporary styled vanity furniture. This style shares the minimalist approach, and some of the sharp edges and angles but incorporates flowing, soft curves. Even if the rest of your furniture is more modern looking, you can probably find a contemporary double vanity that won’t clash with the rest of the room.
If you have more of a traditional look flowing through your house, then a traditional double vanity is perfect. This style features the two sinks as well as a more traditional look. The vanity itself is usually made of finished wood, and incorporates ornamental accents and more classic looking hardware. These designs are usually dark finished wood with ornamental brass accents and hardware. If you’re looking for a more classic, traditional look then you’ll definitely want to check out these vanities. photo credit: chaim zvi
