While it is essential to consider what type of wood and finish you want, your cabinet door style is the top consideration when choosing a bathroom vanity design. Because your doors are the focal point of your vanity, selecting a door style can change the entire theme of your bathroom.

The Spruce lists eight most common varieties, but you’re always free to try something different or mix styles to create your own. For instance, you might mix glass insert doors with slab-style doors for a modern yet minimalist bathroom.

Vanities bring purpose and arrangement to a bathroom both for their functionality and how well they fit within the style of design chosen for the bathroom remodel.  In looking at remodeled bathroom examples, some homeowners fall in love with a vanity style and even decide to base their whole bathroom design around this piece of furniture.

Choosing a bathroom vanity isn’t quite as difficult if you know what the style of your bathroom is. Of course, if you’re remodeling, you may have plans to change everything. First, however, your vanity should match your bathroom style. For instance, if you want a more rustic look, you wouldn’t want more ornate cabinet doors and bright finishes. Likewise, you probably wouldn’t have oddly shaped vanity-like corner cabinets.

If you’re scratching your head and trying to figure out a theme, don’t worry. Before you shop or work with a designer, check out these styles from Houzz and Cabin Life.

Custom-built bathroom vanities are ideal for anyone who needs special sizing and shapes. For instance, maybe you need a vanity three inches shorter than your hanging cabinets. On the other hand, you might have a corner where you want a sizeable free-standing cabinet that functions as a makeup station.

The last thing is to think about your style. Vanities do much more than house the sink. They provide countertop space, storage, and a way to hide the plumbing.  As a result, they often become the focal point of a bathroom, acting as the unifying design piece for the whole room. In addition, you can get more organized with custom cabinet options, such as various sizes for different types of items. You can mix and match styles to create a theme that’s all your own.

Developing a bathroom vanity design for your cabinets can be intimidating. Still, if you follow the divide-and-conquer strategy and work on the individual guide we have provided, it will be a challenge, but in the end, you will succeed.
