Bathroom vanity units are becoming increasingly common in modern bathrooms. If you are upgrading or installing a new bathroom in your home, you will find that there are many variations and styles from which to choose. So why should you get a vanity unit in your bathroom? Here I have mentioned some of the principle reasons:
Space Saving
Perhaps the greatest advantage of choosing a vanity unit for your bathroom is the space-saving benefits and features it will present. The bathroom is almost invariably the smallest room in a modern house and yet it is home to numerous bath products, cleaning solutions and a wealth of other cosmetic and medicinal items. Maximizing the space in your bathroom is thus one of the key considerations when improving or furnishing the room. Few items are more helpful than a vanity unit when it comes to adding storage space. The majority of units will include a sink and tap on the counter top and, in most cases they will come with a matching mirror.
Style Statements
There is a variety of bathroom vanity units now available on the market. Which of them is best suited to your particular room will be determined by a combination of budget, personal preference, and the available space. At the low end of the budgetary scale are wall-hung cabinets. One of the key advantages of these units is that they preserve floor space, which is particularly important for compact bathrooms. These units generally start from around £50, but budget models are of compact dimensions. The higher your budget is, the greater the storage space will be. A popular option is that of a full standing shelving unit which will offer significant storage space. There is a wide variety from which to choose. Depending on the finish, style and material you choose, prices range from around £90 up to £300 or more for a top-of-the-range model.
Combination Units
An increasingly popular style of bathroom unit is one which combines the benefits of shelving and storage with an attached toilet. These units tend to be at the higher end of the price scale, but they can assist greatly in maximizing the amount of floor space within the bathroom. Many of these models are particularly stylish and, if carefully chosen, can be regarded as a statement piece in a modern bathroom refurbishment. Expect to pay from around £180 for this style, although £300 price tags are common for a top-of-the-range design.
Clearly, the driving factors behind the choice of a bathroom vanity unit for your home bathroom are those of style, storage, and space. With a wealth of designs, styles and formats now available in almost every imaginable combination, there are models to suit almost any taste.
