If you thought all bathroom furniture was essentially the same, think again! It is not all the same, and every piece has its own utility for specific reasons. Most bathroom furniture may have the same basic functions, but there are many differences if you look a little closer. Bathroom vanities, sinks, cabinets, mirrors and shelving come in many different styles to meet various needs, and depending on yours, you can use the following guide to help you pick the perfect furniture.

What do you need your bathroom vanity and furnishings to do for you? Do you have a small space and not a lot of room? There are bathroom vanities designed to fit in the corner to help you make the most of your space. You can also go with shelving instead of a linen cabinet when you’re short on floor space, so that you have somewhere to organize all your bathroom necessities instead of piling them on the countertop or stacking them on the floor. If you don’t have a lot of room for a wall mirror, you can always go with a full length mirror that installs on the back of your bathroom door, a space that is often underutilized and very handy.

If you have more space in your bathroom, you will have different options. You always want to get a double vanity rather than a single vanity if you can fit it in the space, because a double vanity is always a luxury and you’ll use that second sink more than you might think. You may want the matching vanity set mirrors that hang on the wall above the sinks, and with more floor space, you may opt for a more spacious enclosed linen cabinet so that everything is tucked away rather than visible on the open shelving.

Besides utility, there are the aesthetic considerations when you are upgrading your bathroom. You will want to narrow down what bathroom furniture style you want to put in there before you start shopping. Not all vanities are designed in the same style! You may prefer the antique style, the traditional wood vanity furnishings, or a more contemporary design. An antique vanity and modern vanity have very different looks, but they will essentially serve the same purpose. Now that you know the basics of choosing the right bathroom furniture for your home, you can get started and create your dream bathroom today!
