Look to these inspiring bathroom vanity ideas to create a stylish space that caters to your needs
For most of us, the bathroom vanity is one of the first places we head to before starting our day. Today, vanities have come a long way from the utilitarian pedestal sink and faucet— they’ve become elegantly designed mini-areas within the bathroom.
Your vanity shouldn’t just look good; it should also be practical in catering to your lifestyle and daily needs. Good lighting, for instance, is one of the key features you can’t overlook.
“When designing a vanity space, avoid downlights as these cast uneven shadows on the mirror,” says Nikki Hunt, principal of Design Intervention. “Even light from both sides will illuminate the face evenly for better grooming and makeup application.”
Jennifer Murray, design director of The Mill Group, agrees. According to her, ceiling lights are not the best choice for bathrooms, as they can create shadows on your face. “Mirrors and lighting should work closely together, with lights placed slightly above the mirror,” says Murray. She recommends placing sconces on each side of the mirror, to make the vanity ideal for shaving or putting on makeup. A dimmer switch can also be installed for a softer, more relaxed mood. As follows below, take a look at the bathroom vanity products that will fit your lifestyle.
FOR SINGLES:
SLEEK AND NEAT
Stylish, fuss-free aesthetics work well in compact bathrooms, and are ideal for piedsà-terre or petite apartments in the city. When designing the en-suite bathroom, consider extending the decor scheme from your bedroom to the bathroom to create a sense of visual continuity. This works particularly well for small flats or studio apartments, says Hunt.
