Bathroom vanities come in an almost limitless variety of sizes, materials and price ranges. Finding the one that's right for your bathroom design is an essential step in creating a relaxing and elegant bath space in your home, so you'll want to consider a number of factors before making a decision.

In general, a bathroom vanity is defined as the combination of a mirror or mirrors, one or more sinks, a countertop, and usually some form of storage for accessories, linens or other bathroom necessities.

When choosing a bathroom vanity, you'll first want to decide if it's going to adhere strictly to the style of the rest of the bathroom, or if it will be a slight or even drastic style departure. Contrasting styles—especially when it comes to bathroom vanities, which may be somewhat "standalone" pieces in a bathroom—can be an attractive option, particularly if your bathroom design is somewhat eclectic. If so, you might consider pairing a vintage vanity cabinet and elegant drop in sink with an overall more contemporary bathroom scheme. A bathroom vanity is a great way to express your personality without having to design every element in the bathroom to adhere to a particular style.

If you are in the market for a more traditional bathroom vanity look, antique stores, flea markets and vintage online retailers are a great place to look for the perfect vanity, mirror or countertop. Conversely, if your style leans more modern, most home improvement stores will have vanity solutions in a sleeker design.
