Antique Bathroom Cabinets: Tried and True Classics

If you are shopping for bathroom vanities in the United States, you are generally faced with this common conundrum: “do I pick the boring and ugly box with the boring and ugly cabinet doors made from oak, or do I pick the boring and ugly box with the boring and ugly cabinet doors made from birch?”

The unfortunate truth is that, while modern vanities seem to be rife with innovation, they are also desperately lacking in inspiration. Antique bathroom cabinets were always gorgeous, ornate, and very visible pieces of furniture in the home; today, bathroom vanities are built for efficiency and organization, not artistry. When did we forget that vanities can be beautiful as well as functional? At what point did our creativity go out the window, in favor of cold calculation and precise engineering? It seems that the American ideal of “faster, better, more functional, right now” has trumped the European design ideals of “elegance and beauty, even at the cost of some efficiency.”

Luckily, if you are like me and you yearn for truly magnificent antique-style bathroom cabinets, you can find one very easily online.

There are many modern manufacturers of “antique” bathroom cabinets and double vanities, expert craftsmen and artists who pride their work for its beauty as well as for its utility. They are true artisans, who offer precision-craftsmanship and sturdy construction as well as fine design, and they create antique double vanities that feature finesse and refinement in their decoration.

Double vanities and antique bathroom cabinets may be the perfect way to lend your bathroom a character and charm that can truly be considered “classic.” They will enliven any room with their highly decorative flourishes, and what’s more, if you shop for antique vanities online, you will find that they are available in a staggeringly diverse array of styles. It seems that, despite the increasing popularity of sleek and efficient modern bathroom vanities, antique cabinets and double vanities are just as desirable and accessible as ever. If you think your master bathroom could benefit from a little old-fashioned appeal, then antique vanities may be perfect for you!
