HOW TO

First lets look at type: Wall vs Floor Vanity

Wall hung vanities tend to have a more modern appearance. The vanity is mounted on the wall without legs. The vanity becomes more streamlined and slightly more minimalistic in design. In addition wall hung vanities give the appearance of a larger room. They also fit small bathrooms better from a visual standpoint. One challenge here is that they are harder to install and require extra reinforcement.

Floor mounted vanities range from elaborate and ornate to sleek and minimal in design. They also have a more solid appearance because they are mounted directly to the floor. Benefits here are more storage and easier installation.

You also need to take into account how you will be using your vanity. If you are someone who likes to do their makeup and hair, you’ll want more counter space which would mean integrated sinks to give you more counter space. If it's two of you sharing a bathroom consider two sinks in a double vanity if you have the room.

Plumbing will have a say when it comes to choosing a style. For example, a floor-mounted vanity can make use of the typical plumbing layout. A wall-mounted vanity would require moving the plumbing hookups for your sink if you are replacing a vanity. New construction you have your choice.

Moving plumbing is not impossible; it depends on what you want, and the budget you have set aside for your remodel and renovation.

Things you want to consider when determining vanity placement

Bathroom Door: If you bathroom door swings inwards and hits the vanity, this is both ineffective and annoying.

The shower: Are you opting for a shower with a door instead of a curtain? This is another swing you should account for when deciding where to place your vanity.

The toilet: Do you want the vanity in front of the toilet? If so will you have room not to bump into it?

Once you have the rough placement, you will be able to narrow down size. Here's how to measure:

Step 1: Measure the Width of Your Space. To find the width of your space, measure from wall to wall.
Step 2: Measure the Depth of Your Space by measuring from front to back.
Step 3: Measure the Height of Your Space.
