How to know if a bathroom cabinet is right for you

One of the highest points of design influence in the bathroom is your Standing Bathroom Vanities. Along with your bathtub, the vanity is one of the most striking elements when entering the space. How do you know which style of dresser is right for you? With all the designs on the market today, choosing a dresser can be a nightmare. It doesn't have to be. Choosing a vanity for your bathroom can be fun and exciting by analyzing your style and determining what look you want to achieve.

If your home is more traditional, you may want to opt for a built-in vanity. If you want a more modern and contemporary look, it's best to opt for a freestanding vanity. Freestanding vanities are available in more colors and finishes and are easier to install than built-in vanities. You can choose from light or dark woods, as well as countertops constructed from stainless steel, marble, glass, granite, and other finishes. When choosing a vanity, talk to your retailer about purchasing a piece of furniture that combines all the selected finishes you've designed. Many times, in a showroom, you might see a vanity with a base you like, but you might not want to see a top finish in a bathroom in a color you might not want. Find out if other colors are available so you can get what you want in one sale.

After choosing a style, consider the purpose your vanity should serve, such as storage and styling. If you have a lot of makeup and other facial products, choose a vanity with extra storage.

After you've chosen your design, it's time to show it off with your bathroom lighting. If you decide to use a built-in vanity, decorate your choice with bathroom vanity lighting. This installation will allow you to showcase your purchase and make it a key design element. Wall sconces are one of the best options for bathroom vanity lighting. Choose a sconce that can be mounted above the mirror; this will allow light to hit the design element itself. If you decide to go with his and hers dresser style, you can even install sconces between areas to divide the space and give an overall balanced look.

There are other options for bathroom lighting to decorate the space. If you have stronger lights on your new vanity, you may need to address other light fixtures in the bathroom. Install a light fixture where you can soften the light and create a relaxing atmosphere.

Bathroom lighting doesn't have to be limited to function. If you want to create a certain feel in the space, you can let your vanity selection set the tone. If you choose a vanity with dark wood and stainless steel fixtures, allow these elements to help you decorate the space. Buy a simple piece of art to hang on the wall and complement the other colors and design elements in the bathroom. Let your lamps play out with your bold design choices. If you decide to hang art on the wall, play it by installing track lighting in that part of the bathroom. You can adjust lighting to focus on key elements of the design.

Whichever design you choose, make sure the space has balance and fluidity. If you prefer a more traditional style in your home, opt for a built-in vanity and decorate it with bathroom lighting and fixtures that complement the design. If you're looking to take a new style direction in your home, choose a freestanding vanity with a modern and contemporary feel.
