Vanities
& Cabinets
In this article, you will know which models will fit even in the smallest bathroom.
You can do the renovation without a bidet, shower or jacuzzi in a tiny combined bathroom. But not without a sink.
When it comes to a compact bathroom, you have to give up on something. Most often – the width of the sink, which for compact sinks starts from 16 inches. The depth of such a sink is also smaller than usual – about 18 inches. Even when your bathroom vanity is small it still can have drawers which help you to organize your storage.
Important: no matter how much space you want to save, you should not choose too miniature models. Even with the most careful handling, they cannot avoid water splashing on the floor.
If you have a limited space – it is always better to choose wall-mounted models. For a small bathroom, mounted (console) models are optimal. There is also an option to choose the “only sink” solution, but in this case you will not have an organized cabinet that is not so convenient. Both options do not require much space and do not need furniture or stands.
Custom shapes are good for large spaces. For compact bathrooms, the familiar classics are suitable: rectangular, semicircular, square sinks. If there is no room at all, take a look at the corner models. Sure, some homeowners still will to have a smallest double sink vanity even if they have a limited space. So, it’s possible, but the smallest double sink vanities start from 48 inches in width. Consider this information.
Important: rectangular and square sinks must be placed so that when moving in a tight room, they do not hit their corners.
For a small bathroom, sinks made of natural or artificial stone have one significant drawback – weight. You cannot fix them on the wall – you need a countertop for which there is no place in a tiny bathroom. For the same reason, glass models should not be considered. Ceramics and acrylic are optimal materials
Important: it is much easier to care for ceramics. In addition, it has a variety of colors, that suit in harmony with any interior.
The last step in choosing a small space vanity and sink – is a choice of the correct faucet. There are two options:
• one universal faucet with a long spout, covering both the sink and the bathtub. It is good because it saves space (you can buy a narrower sink without a faucet hole);
• two separate faucets. This option is considered more modern and aesthetic. The length of the spouts above the bathtub and sink may vary.
Important: if there are small children at home, choose a faucet with a long spout. This will facilitate hygiene procedures.
