One of the more important rooms in any house or apartment is the bathroom and nowadays a well planned and attractive bathroom is a good selling point and is likely to increase the value of the property. There are countless bathroom suite styles and colors on the market and this applies equally to bathroom vanities and units. Bathroom vanities are the units or cupboards that house the bathroom sink which hides the sink pedestal or plumbing and can be made into the centrepiece of the bathroom. They invariably come with doors and act as storage space to contain various bathroom toiletries or effects. A great bathroom vanity unit can be chosen to either compliment or contrast with the bathroom suite and the bathroom décor.
Bathroom vanities come in a variety of sizes and designs from single units to doubles which can house two sinks. There are manufacturers who specialize in producing traditional vanity units which may be made of wood. These may be quite ornate and can be provided with either marble tops or very good imitations, depending on the budget. In older houses that require a bathroom that matches the period mahogany or dark oak bathroom vanities can look attractive but if wooden units are the material of choice light oak or ash can give a more modern, contemporary feel. Depending on the budget the vanities can be supplied with wooden veneers instead of solid wooden units.
Apart from wooden designs there are units that are made from a variety of materials ranging from ceramic to metal or rigid plastic or a combination of materials. Toughen frosted glass doors on the front of units provide a very contemporary look especially if concealed lighting is a part of the fixture. The size of the bathroom determines the size of unit and storage space that could be fitted but there are combination bathroom vanities that are known as triples which incorporate a W.C. as well as a sink.
