I need a Bedroom Vanity Set!

I’m in the market for a bedroom vanity set. Currently, my make up, hair brushes, combs, accessories and skin care products are located all over my house: in my bathroom, in the hallway by the door (when I’m rushing out) and all over the desk in my room. Actually, all of my beauty products and accessories are slowly taking over the entire surface of my desk. In fact, I think my army of hair accessories, lotions and potions exercised a coup d’état and kicked my poor laptop out. Laptop is in exile on the coffee table in said living room!

As you can see, I need a vanity. Well, I don’t actually need one but it WILL make my life a lot easier and more organized. I also anticipate some additional indirect benefits of having bedroom vanity, such as saving time in the morning because I’m not looking for things and hopefully, I’ll end up looking more put together because I will now have a place to sit down and properly style my hair, etc.

So what kind of vanity shall I choose? A more romantic, traditional one such as this:



Or a sleek, modern one like this:




What kind would you choose?

How to Choose the Bathroom Vanity that’s Right for You

Updating your bathroom can be as simple as replacing your current sink with a new bathroom vanity. But once you’ve decided to redecorate, what’s next? How do you decide which one to purchase? While browsing online at More Vanities, here are some things to consider that might help you choose the ideal bathroom vanity for your home.

Since they are available in a wide variety of styles, when selecting a bathroom vanity, this is the first thing to decide. Because the vanity is typically the focal point of the bathroom, the style you select will add ambience to the bathroom’s décor. Traditional style is recognizable by its intricate decorative detail and antiqued hardware. Contemporary bathroom vanities are characterized by simple lines, shapes and forms.

In some ways, the material selected can also determine the style. Like the DreamLine Glass Bathroom Vanity, modern and contemporary vanities are made of glass or a combination of glass and brushed or polished metal. Many types of wood vanities, such as the Cole & Co Charlotte Sink Bathroom Vanity are distinctly traditional.

There are several different types of vanities, from pedestal to double basin. Another thing to consider when shopping online for a bathroom vanity is the features you would like it to have. A pedestal sink, for example, typically does not include any storage options, whereas a standard vanity combines a sink with a cabinet that may include drawers, enclosed shelving or open shelves. A single basin vanity maybe what you currently have, but if you have the room, you might want to upgrade to a double sink bathroom vanity.

Establish who will be using the vanity on a regular basis; this will be a determining factor in what kind of sink and counter you select. You may gravitate toward the vanity with a marble sink, but if you have children, a porcelain one might be more practical for the whole family. The same applies to vanity countertops. Granite countertops are beautiful to look at, but if used in a family setting, they can be high maintenance.

A vanity, especially one with a number of storage options, can increase the functionality of the most used room in your home. Whatever type of bathroom vanity you select, it should be practical, durable and resistant to water, moisture and humidity.
