Check out some design sites for modern bathroom vanities and you will be spoiled for choice as there are loads of cool offerings avaiable today. Just starting with sinks, we have seen stunning stone pedestal sinks, beautiful wood designs with sinks in glass, sinks fitted on the wall and modern table top sinks with room for open storage underneath. Recent modern bathroom design trends offer a wide variety of innovation and choices, with something guaranteed to catch your eye if you keep looking.
We have also seen adorable glass bowled sinks with glass table tops which will surely leave a very modern and stylish impression. Oak also seems to be back in fashion with some and has a more calming affect, almost rustic. Even faucet handles are available in wood, with their natural feel. Or why not go for a sink chest and make that the center of attention in your bathroom.
Contemporary bathroom vanities gives your bathroom a modern, stylish ambiance. They can be derivative of the art deco style or perhaps have a European look. Metals can be used in the designs – chrome or brushed aluminium look contemporary and lends the room a clean, bright look. Be innovative. When designing a contemporary bathroom you want to use modern-looking materials like glass for example, which is becoming very popular for distinctive, modern-looking sinks. Stone vessels have also become popular and part of the modern choice.
A more subtle approach in contemporary bathroom vanities are brushed chrome faucets, which lend a more demure look to the bathroom. Another statement of elegance (more traditional) is achieved if you use brass faucets instead, an option that some people may prefer. Consider a pedestal sink if you aren’t space challenged and don’t need the cabinet space below the vessel. It can be a lovely addition to any bathroom.
If you’re in the lucky position of building a new home or refurbishing your current bathroom you have more flexibility in choosing bathroom vanity cabinets that not only match the current design style of your house, but arealso practical and contain all the necessary storage you need. Form and function must both be considered.
Of course, there’s not just one type of bathroom vanity cabinet. That would be too easy. Firstly, you can find double sink vanities and single sink vanities. When you look for bathroom cabinets be sure that you will actually have the space required. So what sizes are there? There is only one sink in a single vanity, and, (duh!), two sinks in a double vanity. You may want some other trendy style of vanity like for example Mexican vanities, which seems to have increased in popularity recently. What are they? Bright colors and tiled floors are two things that can be said to typify a Mexican style bathroom.
