One of the main function of the bathroom vanity is to hold the sink. Some people use pedestals or even just a pair of brackets for holding the sink.

Do not mislead a contemporary bathroom vanity by its sleek look it meets all the requirements.
A contemporary bathroom vanity not only holds the sink, but also provides enough storage space for the essential articles.

Before you select one, you need to consider the amount of space you will require for that. Moreover, the size, shape and color of the vanity are also very important.
Have a hard look at the bathroom first. You should consider its size, shape and color. Then consider the amount of light available in the bathroom. If there is a big window with plenty of natural light, you can consider a contemporary bathroom vanity in black.

If the bathroom is big enough with sufficient light, choosing a vanity is not much of a problem. Only you need to make sure that they are not so small or so inconspicuous that they remain unnoticed. They must come in darker colors and if unobtrusive material such as glass is used, it must be used in combination with something more conspicuous.
