Current Trends in Double Vanities and Bathroom Design
When it comes to setting new interior design trends, southern California tends to be a major national leader. Some of the most innovative and charming design trends begin in this beautiful state. To the average Californian home designer, every room in the house is important: even hall closets are meticulously designed to be fashionable and accommodating. For rooms like the kitchen or the bathroom, the current trend seems to cling to the philosophy that “bigger is better.” These rooms are growing ever more expansive while house sizes are remaining relatively stable. With these larger rooms, home designers really get the chance to show off their artistry and creativity with double vanities.
You see, the current bathroom design “trend” is really more of a “shift” in perceptions: the modern bathroom is not so much a hygienic “task center” anymore as much as it is a place to admire, relax in, and entertain your guests. Many of these rooms are becoming almost spa-like in their presentation, with ornate double bathroom vanities, steam showers, and even small breakfast bars in some master bathrooms!
Double vanities seem to be an especially popular trend. Sometimes called “his” and “her” vanities, these bathroom features provide dual sinks and plenty of shelf space to accommodate two users simultaneously, often with room to spare. This gives a bathroom an added sense of “community,” as you and your partner can talk about your plans for the day as you comb your hair or brush your teeth.
Another current trend is to go with non-porous countertops like natural travertine surfaces. These countertops are easier to clean and keep out harmful microorganisms, which tend to hide out in cracks and holes in ordinary countertops. The fact that many of these travertine countertops look absolutely gorgeous is just a bonus. This just goes to show you that sometimes interior design trends are not only aesthetically-conscious, but health-conscious as well. More information on double bath vanities can be found here.

I recently refurbishedy bathrooms and installed a his and her vanity. Love the early morning interaction between my wife and I just before we head off to work. Previously we took turns
I agree with Simon. Hubby and I are quite sick with having to share the basin before work, especially with our little Ally also trying to brush her teeth with mummy and daddy ‘like a big girl’
Will definitely be giving your website link a good look thru before we start our bathroom reno. Thanks!
You have started a very interesting discussion on bathroom design. I’m a cabinetmaker who really does not want to make kitchens and bathrooms for a living, because the most of what is done in the US is just boxes with a “choice of doors and drawer fronts,” the most of which are made in a factory somewhere. Boring. I want to do something else if I can, but what?
European design just absolutely blows my mind, and I find myself reading quite a bit on it, even though these are often modular kitchens and bathrooms that one would simply send away for and have installed by a local craftsman. But what fascinates me is the utter innovation of those designs, so I find myself returning to them quite a bit.
I am also looking to design two bathrooms and a kitchen for my wife in too-small spaces in a tract home, which necessarily lets out those wonderful European designs that excite me so. And whenever I find myself going out on a limb with some idea or another, my wife always grounds me by saying, “If you stick with the classics, you won’t grow tired of them.”
So, what do you do that is different and yet timeless and practical and stimulating to make if you’re a cabinetmaker? Damned if I know, but if I ever figure it out, I mean to make it for us and splash those babies all over the Internet!
What you’ve written, though, has given me quite a bit to think about, and I thank you for sharing your concepts.
