It goes without saying that you should not try to choose ornate and too exquisite appliances and bathtubs. The last thing you want is to try to cram everything in a small and cramped space. Here are some simple tips to help you decide on the best vanity for your tiny bathroom!

What is great about interior design and architecture nowadays is that most have already considered designs in compact spaces. With the emergence of high rise buildings, apartments and condominiums, maximizing space is of the essence. Some types of bathroom vanities have taken this into consideration, and this is why you would find a lot of corner sinks and cabinets that provide you the most storage. These are called petite vanities. A petite vanity would have one sink and a small counter for your accessories and beauty products.

If you are worrying about the style of these types of vanities, you should know that there are a lot of beautiful options for you to choose from! Most of these petite vanities are made out of glass and porcelain, but there are also some wooden and metal versions for a classic or contemporary feel. If you want a little more edge in your bathroom, you can also choose those that are made out of stainless steel.

Where’s the best way to store your bathroom vanity? To make sure that you are able to provide the illusion of a bigger bathroom, you can opt to choose a corner petite vanity and install mirrors on the walls. This does not only maximize your space, it will also be a stylish and functional option for your bathroom!

If you’ve got a small bathroom, or you live alone, you’ll probably want to go with a single basin vanity. This style will give you plenty of counter space, even if you were to choose a large basin. You could place the basin anywhere you’d like, though many prefer to center it. You could put it off to one side, keeping all of your bathroom items off to one side of the counter, or you could center it – effectively separating your items. Centering the basin has definite advantages if you share your sink with someone such as a significant other. He (or she) could use one side of the counter, while your things are stored on the other.

A vanity with a double basin is great if you’ve got a large bathroom and you share it with someone else – a roommate or significant other, especially if you’re opposite sexes. Women are always complaining about hair shavings in their sinks, and there’s nothing more irritating when a guy is getting ready to work than having to hunt through a woman’s makeup, perfumes, masques and other things to find the one thing we’re looking for. A double basin allows each person to use their own sink, and to keep their things separate from the other person’s.

Vanity basins provide you with near limitless choices. You can have a single or double basin, you could use a drop in sink, bottom mount style, or vessel sink. When remodeling your bathroom, take into account your personal tastes, who uses them, as well as how they’ll be used. Make sure your choice reflects both personal aesthetics as well as usefulness. A single vessel sink on a small vanity in a tiny bathroom with almost no storage space will be more irritating than pleasing if you’re a woman (or guy) who uses the counter space for a lot of things, and a large vanity with a double basin is overkill if you’re a person who lives alone and barely keeps anything on the counter or shaves and does most of their upkeep while in the shower. photo credit: lippo
