How to Get Inexpensive Bathroom Vanity Cabinets

What does a typical morning look like for you? If you are like many people, you have some trouble getting started. Everyone has his or her own routine, but the odds are good that you will spend some time in the bathroom within the first few minutes of your day. It stands to reason that if you want to improve the way you start your day, you could start by improving your bathroom. The centerpiece of a great bathroom is a great bathroom vanity.

A vanity seems very simple, but this may actually be deceptive; bathroom vanities can actually have quite a bit going on. Bathroom vanities combine one or more sinks with storage and counter space into an attractive item that sets the tone for the entire bathroom. When this is done well, the results can be stunning.

The goal is to have a cohesive, stylish bathroom, but there are many ways to achieve this goal. There is virtually no upper limit on the price of bathroom vanities, but for most people, cost is a primary concern. The good news is that there are options available to suit every style and budget. There are few constraints on the design of a bathroom vanity. Designers are free to use any combination of materials, construction techniques, colors and mounting options. Fortunately, this enormous range of design possibilities can be divided into three categories.

1. Antique / Traditional

The inspiration for these timeless designs dates back hundreds of years. The primary materials here are wood, stone and tile.

A traditional bathroom vanity can look at home in a wide range of settings. Many traditional vanities would fit right in with anything from a a medieval castle to a very modern looking home.

2. Modern

For many designers, the goal in designing modern furnishings is to strip away everything that is not essential to the function of a piece. This philosophy necessarily results in minimalist pieces with clean, simple lines. Glass and metal are the most prominently featured materials in this category, although other exotic materials like plastic, vinyl, leather or even concrete may also be used.

3. Transitional

Many people appreciate the tight focus on function offered by strictly modern design, but many people also enjoy a slightly more stylish approach. For these people, the transitional style may offer the best of both worlds.

These designs typically use a combination of materials, making them an easy choice in many homes.

For example, the Caroline Estate 60” Bathroom Vanity Cabinet in Grey is a fantastic example of a transitional piece. The frame and doors are made of solid oak, a traditional material, but the gray color is reminiscent of metal. The metal hardware is another nod to modern design sensibilities. However, the exposed wood slats at the base are the type of optional detail that looks more at home on a traditional piece. The generous drawers are functional, but the handles on the two center false drawers are a purely decorative touch.

Great looking bathroom vanity cabinets do not have to cost an enormous amount of money. By shopping wisely, you can end up with a great looking bathroom that is a pleasure for you, your family and your guests to use. Starting your day off in a great bathroom may even inspire greatness in the rest of your day; who knows what you could accomplish?
