Analyzing the Pros and Cons of Small Vanities
New bathroom vanities are all the rage in modern home renovation projects. This is not news to anyone. In fact, I’ve been saying it for months. A large double bath vanity in a master bathroom is a great way to facilitate daily hygienic tasks for you and a partner; an antique vanity will give your bathroom plenty of rustic, old-timey charm; and so on.

For people who live in smaller apartments or homes, large vanities are not very feasible bathroom appliances. Small vanities are perfect for these kinds of spaces. But before you go out and buy one, take a moment and consider these pros and cons:
A small bath vanity is, obviously, smaller than the average bath vanity. This is beneficial for several reasons. First of all, such vanities are very space efficient. They do not needlessly crowd bathrooms, and their smaller stature can even make your bathroom appear more spacious than it truly is. Additionally, small vanities are a breeze to install. Many of them are podium shaped and fairly lightweight, so if you are a fairly capable handyperson, you should have no trouble moving, installing, and adjusting a small bath vanity on your own.
Another major benefit of small bathroom vanities is the amount of visual value you get from them. At a very affordable price, you should be able to find a wonderfully beautiful bath vanity that rivals even majestic double vanities in terms of aesthetic appeal. They are available in myriad shapes, styles, and designs, and everything – from the under-trim to the elegant marble or stone countertops – is generally meticulously handcrafted by skilled designers.
However, small bathroom vanities also have their downsides. Their main issue is a noticeable lack of internal storage space. Since they are designed to take up as little space as possible, they rarely afford you more internal room than you can fit a few towels and other products into. Additionally, the countertops are generally just slightly wider than the vessel sink, so you don’t have a lot of surface area upon which to rest your toiletries. Really, though, this is the main issue with small vanities. It’s a big issue, but if you have a small bathroom, it really isn’t a concern anyway; and it may be worth your while to check out small vanities today!

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.
