Bathroom vanities in wood, lacquer and stone

The right bathroom vanity is the correct width for the wall, the correct height for the people using it, and built to live with water every day. We help you choose mounting, size, top, basin and storage as one decision.

01Choosing a vanity

Five decisions behind every one of our bathroom vanities

Shopping for bathroom vanities usually starts with a photo and ends with a tape measure. We reverse that. First the wall: how wide it is, where the drain and supplies sit today and whether they can move. Then mounting — floating or standing on the floor. Then the width, which decides whether one basin or two basins make sense; our guide to bathroom vanity sizes compares every standard width from 24 to 72 in.

Only then do we choose the look: fronts in oak veneer, matte lacquer or a durable laminate, a stone or porcelain top, and a basin that is undermounted, integrated or set on top as a vessel. The last decision is storage — drawers almost always beat doors in a vanity, because nothing gets lost at the back.

Ranges change, so we do not list brands here; ask which vanity collections are current, and compare samples under the kind of light you will have at home. Part of a larger project? Start at our bathroom remodel overview, see the modern vanity range, or book a showroom consultation. Matching a kitchen? Try fronts in our kitchen configurator.

02Sizes

Vanity sizes at a glance

Single vanity widths: 24, 30, 36 and 48 in (610–1,220 mm) are common; custom widths fill a wall exactly
Double vanities: Two basins need roughly 60 in or more; spacing and layouts are on our double vanity page
Depth: 21–22 in standard; 16–18 in for powder rooms and narrow bathrooms
Countertop height: 32–36 in (815–915 mm); 34–36 in suits most adults
With a vessel basin: Lower the cabinet so the basin rim lands at about 34–36 in
Drawers: U-shaped top drawers clear the trap; full-depth drawers below the plumbing zone

03Tops & basins

Four ways to pair a top and a basin

Undermount basin
A ceramic basin fixed under a stone top: easy to wipe toward, classic and practical.
Integrated basin
Basin and top in one material with no joint — the cleanest look for a modern room.
Vessel basin
A bowl on top of the counter; sculptural, but needs a lower cabinet and a taller or wall-mounted faucet.
Stone top
Quartzite, or marble and porcelain where available, sealed where needed. See natural stone.

04Living with water

How a good vanity handles a wet room

Bathrooms are hard on furniture: steam every morning, splashes at the front edge, the occasional leak under the sink. Vanity carcasses should use moisture-resistant board with every edge sealed, and drawer fronts benefit from a slight overhang so water drips clear of the cabinet below.

A working exhaust fan matters as much as the cabinet itself. Wipe standing water from the top and front edge, avoid abrasive cleaners on matte lacquer, and reseal natural stone as its maker recommends.

Ask a designer

What height should a bathroom vanity be?

Most modern vanities finish at 34–36 in to the countertop, which is more comfortable for adults than the older 30–32 in standard. Floating vanities can be mounted at exactly the height you want, and vessel basins need a lower cabinet.

Should I choose one basin or two?

Two basins make sense when two people get ready at the same time and the wall gives you at least 60 in; otherwise one wider basin with more counter is often better. Our double sink vanity page covers spacing and layouts.

Are custom bathroom vanities worth it?

When the wall is an awkward width, plumbing cannot move, or you want the vanity to match other furniture in the house, a made-to-measure vanity usually looks and works better than a standard size with fillers.

How long do vanities take to arrive?

It depends on the range, the finish and whether the size is standard. We confirm lead time when you order, so your contractor can plan rough-in and tile around a real date.
