Modern and Contemporary Bathroom Vanities
When designing or redecorating your bathroom, the first item you want to look for is the bathroom vanity. This is because the decorative scheme will be primarily determined by the style of vanity you choose. Once you find something you love, you will then create the rest of the room’s design based on the attributes of the vanity. This creates a cohesive and well-coordinated overall look.
If you like a clean and streamlined feel, you will likely love a modern bathroom vanity. There is a fantastic selection of sleek and simple modern styles available online. Adding the simplicity of this type of vanity creates a clean look and it makes deciding on accent pieces a snap because coordinating with the simple lines and style is very open ended. It’s also a nice design choice because if your style wants change, you can simply change out the accent décor items in the room for a whole new look with a great deal of ease.
Popular contemporary bathroom vanities are often either very light or very dark in color finish, you will find items that fall in the middle, but extremes in color are very common. Also look for wall-mounted vanities when shopping this style. This creates a fabulously clean look because the vanity sits up off of the floor and there are no legs. Cabinets are often flush, with hidden or no hardware.
No matter what size bathroom you are working in, you be able to find a vanity that is a good fit. This style is available from the very small at as narrow as 12” wide—perfect for a guest bathroom—or as large as 60 or more inches wide—for the ultimate master bathroom suite comfort and ease of use.
Modern bathroom vanities are available with just about any type of sink, but the vessel sink is a particularly popular option for this style. Vessels add to the streamlined look of a modern piece. This is because vessel sinks convey a clean look and when white porcelain or a simple travertine is used for the sink, the look is completed perfectly.
