Bathroom vanities are such a necessary part of any bathroom; it is after all the primping station of the house. The good thing is that they don’t have to be plain, boring or ridiculously expensive. Here are a few ideas for you to improve your bathroom vanity area:

The Recycled Cow Trough:

The farmhouse idea has been present inside homes for a very long time, but it seems like it has only been limited to the kitchen area. Creativity should never have any boundaries and this theme is starting to establish itself in other rooms of the house as well. A farmhouse bathroom can be quite edgy and you’ll be able to build a vanity using lots of recycled materials – one being the cow trough. Give it a good wash, mount is up against your wall and cover the sides with wood. Hang a mirror above it and you have a bathroom vanity, lending a countryside feel to your bathroom.

The See-through Vanity:

This is especially great for women who have lots of things to store in their vanities but struggle to find it. Instead of using a standard drawer-type vanity with a wooden surface, why not install a glass panel as a cover instead? You’ll be able to see right through your vanity and it will save you time when you’re looking for something. It works great if you’re on a budget or if you’re just feeling the need to start a new project.

The Open Shelf Vanity:

Similar to the See-through Vanity, the Open Shelf effect also creates an element of openness. Instead of you being able to see through the vanity on the top, you actually omit the panels on the sides. This works great in a guest room where guests can grab their own towels or toiletries without having to look for the right drawer to open. It is a very natural way of creating more storage space as well.

The Bicycle Vanity:

If you are one of those people who have a few extra bicycles sitting around at home, then you can consider this type of bathroom vanity. By removing the seat, you will be able to fit in a panel in order to connect your basin to the pipes. You can add baskets onto the bicycle for extra storage space and hang a mirror above the vanity. It is important to note that should you opt for this type of vanity, you need to replace the bicycle tires with a more solid material in order to prevent it from going flat.

The Double Sink Vanity:

Single sinks can lead to timely situations, especially if you have a large family. By putting a double sink in your vanity, you’ll not only save time, but it also increases the value of your house. Even though double sinks might be a bit pricey to install, it will definitely pay off in the long run. With its spacious design you will be able to add a personal touch to your vanity, not to mention the extra amounts of space you’ll be able to work with. When opting for this option, it is advised that you contact a plumber in order for the installation to be done correctly.
