subject: Renovating Bathrooms Using Modern Bathroom Vanities [print this page] Bathroom renovations do not need to be elaborate and complicated. While everyone may appreciate a sauna tub or intricate re-tiling, renovations can be as simple as replacing an outdated bathroom vanity. A vanity will give your bathroom an entirely new look, or enhance an already established theme. The vanity is often a focal point of bathroom design, with other fixtures and decor being chosen to compliment it.
Bathroom vanities can be as diverse as the individuals who choose them. Made of wood, metals, or synthetic materials, they can be a definite upgrade to any bathroom. The bathroom vanity you choose depends upon the size of the bathroom you have to put it in, the style you desire, and the type of basin you wish to install with it. A classic wooden vanity with a ceramic or metal basin can add charm and elegance. There are a number of styles to choose from. The vanity may rest upon the floor, or one may choose a vanity that is just above the floor level.
Finishes will make a difference to the appearance of the room as well. In terms of wood vanities, one may choose a specific color, which would entail painting of the vanity. There is also the choice of varnishes. Cherry, natural, and maple finishes are just a few of the options available. In terms of metals, one can leave the natural metal look that is high gloss and shiny, or one may choose a brushed look.
Next, it is necessary to consider the amount of space available for the vanity. If the vanity is going into a large room, a smaller vanity may look awkward in such an open space. On the same hand, if the room is rather small, a large vanity will consume a significant amount of space and leave little to no room to move around. To assure that you have plenty of room, take appropriate measurements and choose according to the space available. Be assured that even the space saving vanities come in a large variety of styles and colors.
No matter what style you choose, if chose properly, it can greatly enhance the look and feel of a bathroom. When chosen to match the toilet, shower stall, lighting, and other fixtures, the right vanity can help to tie all of these fixtures together, giving a bathroom of any size a more attractive and complete look.
