If you have a small bathroom like a guest bathroom or a main floor powder room, you’ll most likely be shopping for a smaller bathroom vanity.

The right vanity can upgrade your bathroom and ‘Wow’ your guests. It can also cover over a number of decorating flaws or designs and add a fresh new look to your powder room.

Small vanities come in various shapes and styles. This article will give you an overview of your choices and several tips on how to choose the right vanity for a smaller bath room:

Your Options:

You have much of the same options with smaller vanities as with larger ones. You can find smaller vanities in modern, transitional and antique styles. You’ll find wall mounted, pedestal or free-standing models.

You’ll also find wood, stone, glass and stainless steel options as well.

While you probably won’t be able to find a double-vessel (or double sink) vanity that is small enough for you, you can choose various single vessel sink styles like glass or ceramic.

There are a number of ways to search for a small bathroom vanity. Most people probably want to search by counter size – counters under 24″ across is a good place to start. If you have a bit more room you might be able to go up to 30″.

Remember to measure your area before going shopping, keeping in mind that (depending on the style of vanity), you usually want to keep a decent sized space between the vanity and the wall on either side (Too little space can make it seem like you crammed an oversized vanity into too small a space).

Another way you can find a smaller vanity is by choosing a pedestal style.

While these don’t tend to give you a lot of cupboard or storage space, they do look simple and clean in smaller spaces. Some can also give you larger counter spaces with a smaller base (which can give you the illusion of a larger vanity).

Another way to combat the problem of a small space is to choose a model with a lot of ‘flow’ throughout, especially at the bottom.

For example, you might choose a clear glass sink or countertop. You may want a modern wall-mounted design that just has a few bars at the bottom for towel space but nothing else. These can fool the eye into thinking your space is bigger than it is while still giving you a modern clean look.

So those are some tips on choosing small bathroom vanities.

If you’re looking for a large selection of models at great prices, you may want to consider buying from an online store. There are several online sellers that sell vanities directly to you at discount prices and include Free Shipping as well.

Whatever you decide to do, take your time and remember to measure out your space first so you know exactly how much space you have to work with!
