Besides the obvious question of size, there’s a lot to consider when it comes to finding the right double vanity for your bathroom. Luckily, there are tons of options to choose from, including budget-friendly double vanities that look way more expensive than they are and plenty of farmhouse, modern, and mid-century designs that can help your bathroom blend in with the rest of your home’s decor. Here, the best double vanities to consider to help you make this oh-so-important decision. This double vanity is a crowd-pleaser thanks to its solid wood construction, marble top and backsplash, and overall sleek look. It has three drawers for storing toiletries, and the cabinets under each sink have shelves for towels and the like. Three finishes are available (gray, espresso, and white), each of which can work with pretty much any bathroom color palette. The drawer and cabinet pulls are minimal and neutral but could be replaced if you’re going for a custom look. An added bonus: the drawers have soft-close hardware, which is always satisfying. Also, don’t forget to pay attention to dimensions, such as how far pre-drilled faucet holes are from the sink basins. Some double vanities require faucets with longer necks so they can reach the center (or at least close to it) of the sink basins. This will help prevent lots of frustration in the long run. Also, take under-vanity plumbing into account. Most vanities will work with standard plumbing, but if you’re renovating an older home or one with quirky sink plumbing, you’ll want to make sure your new vanity works with existing plumbing to avoid the cost of reconfiguring things.
Hardware
Your vanity’s drawer and cabinet hardware should match the finish of your faucet and probably the lighting fixtures and mirrors in your bathroom to create a cohesive look. Don’t necessarily let that stop you from buying a double vanity you love that has hardware that doesn’t quite match, though—cabinet knobs and drawer pulls are relatively inexpensive and are easy to replace on your own. Also, pay attention to special features such as self-closing and soft-closing drawers. These features can help make an ordinary double vanity feel a lot more luxe.
Storage
Be honest with yourself with how much storage you need when choosing the right double vanity. It’s possible, but unlikely, that you just need space for your hairdryer and toothbrush. Most of us, however, need a lot more space for toiletries and the like, and a double vanity can easily max out the storage space in your bathroom. Even if you’re currently storing towels and bathroom cleaning supplies elsewhere, consider that the right vanity might let you store them under the sink and help free up some closet space.
