Designing a custom vanity for your bathroom can be an exciting process, but it's important to be informed and take the right steps to avoid common mistakes.
Here are six mistakes to watch out for when designing your custom vanity, along with a few tips to help you make the best choice for your space.
One of the biggest mistakes people make when designing their custom vanity is not considering their unique needs. Do you need more counter space? Are you looking for storage solutions for hair dryers, toiletries, etc.? What features are more beneficial to you- cupboards, drawers or pull-outs?
By considering your daily routines and habits when designing your vanity, you can ensure that it meets your needs and enhances your bathroom experience. At Rocpal, we offer a number of custom storage solutions and accessories that can save space and reduce clutter.
Another common mistake is choosing the wrong size vanity. Our in-house designers always come out to your space to double check measurements; however, they can also advise you on the best size vanity for your space. A vanity that is too big can make your bathroom feel cramped, while one that is too small can look out of place.
When choosing the size of your vanity, it's also important to think about the height. A vanity that is too high or too low can be uncomfortable to use, so make sure to choose a height that works for you. If you're taller or shorter than average, have kids or have any concerns with accessibility you may want a vanity that is customized to your needs.
When designing your vanity, it's important to think about the layout of your bathroom. Consider the location of your plumbing, your electrical outlets and your lighting when choosing your vanity. You want to make sure that your vanity is functional and that all of your fixtures and features are accessible. Alternatively, you need to know if it is feasible to move any of these elements if you are reconfiguring the space.
If you have a small bathroom, you may opt for a corner vanity or a floating vanity to conserve floor space. If you have a large bathroom, you may consider choosing a double vanity.
Storage is a crucial aspect of any vanity and it's important to think about it during the design process. Consider your storage needs, including space for towels, styling tools, toiletries and cleaning supplies. Make sure that your vanity has enough drawers, shelves and cupboards to meet your needs and keep your bathroom organized.
If you have a small bathroom, you may want to add accessories to your vanity to make the most of storage space. If you have a large bathroom, you will have more flexibility in terms of storage options. You could consider adding a tower cabinet for extra storage to keep the vanity free of clutter.
While it can be tempting to choose a sleek and modern vanity, homes generally flow best when the style is consistent throughout. So whether your home is traditional, transitional or modern, Rocpal has a vanity for you. Furthermore, no matter the style, a high quality and well planned vanity can add to your home’s resale value.
This is not to say you have to opt for a neutral colour or classic design, the benefit of custom cabinetry is that you can add character by playing around with cabinet colour, hardware styles or statement countertops.
