Most bathrooms are quite small with little floor space available to add additional storage for linen or personal items. Due to the fact of having such little storage space, you need to try and use the space that is available to you.
If you have a very small bathroom, you may think that there is absolutely no room for at all for bathroom furniture, but this is where you are wrong. Most bathrooms have wasted space underneath the sink where you can install a vanity unit.Bathroom vanities vary in sizes and many manufacturers cater for small bathrooms all the way up to larger bathrooms. So, you should be able to find a vanity unit that fits under your sink.The great benefits of having a vanity installed in the bathrooms is the amount of extra storage available to you. Most vanities will be fitted with two shelves, providing you with valuable storage space for your towels and linen. You can also use the bottom shelf to store bathroom cleaning items or perhaps even your own personal items.
Most bathroom vanities will come with a single door without a set of drawers. As the pipes from the taps are just below the sink, it makes it impossible to have a drawer at the top of the unit.
When you look for a vanity, make sure that the materials used are with able to withstand the humidity within the bathroom. As the bathroom fluctuates in temperature and moisture, you need furniture that can withstand these changes. Otherwise if your furniture is made from wood, it will start to rot and crack. On the other hand, if the furniture is made from metal, or perhaps parts are made from metal, they will start to rust. If rust should start to come into contact with the floor or walls, it stains and is quite difficult to remove.
One final note to make is that you need to make sure that the vanity will fit around the sink. So, make sure that you have made your measurements correctly before making a purchase. You can actually buy a vanity unit with a built in sink. The advantage of this is that you know the sink will fit perfectly into the vanity unit, and both the sink and vanity will match in color. Fitting would take more effort and you probably would have to bring in the services of a plumber as well.
