Types of Bathroom Vanities: Perfect Solutions for Any Bathroom Size

by Gary Wade • December 24, 2024


Do you find yourself struggling to organize essentials while standing in front of your bathroom mirror? You're not alone. The daily battle with cluttered countertops and limited storage space makes morning routines more stressful than necessary.

The right bathroom vanity selection plays a vital role in solving these challenges. The market offers numerous vanity options today, and finding your perfect match might seem daunting. Our team has guided countless homeowners through this process.

This piece breaks down different bathroom vanity types to help you make a smart choice. Your bathroom's functionality and style will get a complete makeover as we explore 10 distinct vanity designs, ranging from space-saving narrow profiles to luxurious double-door options.

Bathroom Vanity Types

Single Door Vanities

The single door vanity stands out as one of the most versatile options in our collection. These compact powerhouses fit perfectly in smaller bathrooms and strike an ideal balance between style and functionality without taking up too much space.

Single Door Vanity Configurations

Single door vanities are available in sizes from 18 to 36 inches wide. You can choose from multiple configurations:

Size Range

Notable Features
18-24"
Powder Rooms
Space-saving design
25-30"

Main Bathrooms
Maximum functionality

Single Door Vanity Storage Options

Our single door vanities pack impressive storage capabilities into their compact design. Most models come with:

  • Adjustable interior shelving to organize your items
  • Soft-close door mechanisms that operate quietly
  • Built-in organizers to keep toiletries in place

Single Door Vanity Installation Guide

Most DIY enthusiasts can handle the straightforward installation process. Start by checking proper water shutoff access. Place your vanity against the wall and use a level to make sure it sits properly. Uneven floors might need shims - this small detail makes a big difference in the final appearance.

Find the wall studs and secure the vanity with 3-inch drywall screws. Mark and measure pipe locations before drilling holes if you're working with plumbing. A professional finish needs silicone caulk along the top edge where the vanity meets the wall.

Single door vanities shine because of their versatility. They work great in both cozy powder rooms and modest-sized main bathrooms while delivering style and substance. Our customers love the modern features we've added, such as soft-close mechanisms and adjustable shelving that make everyday use enjoyable.

Double Door Vanities

Double door vanities are true game-changers in shared bathroom spaces. These sophisticated fixtures blend functionality and style perfectly, which makes them one of our most popular types of bathroom vanities.

Double Door Vanity Features

Our range of double door vanities includes wall-mounted and freestanding configurations. These units save more space than two separate single vanities thanks to their efficient design. 

Double Door Vanity Storage Solutions

Smart storage solutions define our double door vanities. Each unit combines:

  • Deep cabinets for larger items and cleaning supplies
  • Pull-out organizers for hair tools and electronics
  • U-shaped drawer configurations around plumbing

Double Door Vanity Placement Tips

Successful double vanity installation starts with proper placement. A clearance of 30 inches in front of the vanity ensures comfortable access. Wall-mounted options need proper support through backing boards and heavy-duty brackets.

The ideal height ranges between 36-40 inches for average height users, with adjustments up to 48 inches for taller individuals. 

Pro tip: Your plumbing layout should guide the final position since it affects installation costs and storage configurations.

Double door vanities come in finishes from classic natural wood to modern painted surfaces. Matching your vanity's material to existing bathroom elements creates a cohesive look. Bold statements with contrasting colors have also produced stunning results.

Tall Storage Vanities

Best Brand Cabinets has seen more customers looking to maximize vertical space in bathrooms. Our tall storage vanities are the perfect answer. They blend generous storage with elegant style.

Tall Vanity Storage Benefits

Our tall storage vanities will transform your bathroom organization. The clever vertical design gives you 40% more storage space than standard vanities. Customers love our adjustable shelving system that creates storage solutions just right for their needs.

Tall Vanity Design Options

Our tall vanity collection comes with many design choices. Here are the options our customers love most:

  • Combination Units: Featuring both counter space and vertical storage
  • Integrated Linen Storage: Perfect for towels and bathroom essentials
  • Custom Hardware Options: From modern pulls to classic knobs
  • Material Choices: Water-resistant finishes for lasting durability

Tall Vanity Space Requirements

Years of installing tall vanities have taught us that proper space planning is vital. You need at least 8 feet of ceiling height for the best installation. These units need just 18-24 inches of wall space, yet they give you maximum vertical storage.

The installation needs 30 inches of clearance in front of the unit. Here's a pro tip: the door swing radius matters when you plan your layout. Left or right-handed door configurations make a big difference in tight spaces.

These versatile units are perfect for bathrooms with limited floor space. They help you keep bathroom essentials organized while creating an open, uncluttered feel by using vertical space smartly.

Combo Vanity Units

Our customers love combo vanity units that blend storage and style into one complete package. Best Brand Cabinets takes pride in offering these adaptable bathroom solutions that make organization easy.

Combo Vanity Configuration Options

Our combo vanity cabinets fit different needs with multiple configurations. You can pick left or right-sided options based on your bathroom's layout:

Combo Vanity Storage Features

Smart storage solutions make every inch count in our combo units. Popular features that our customers love include:

  • Multi-functional drawers with built-in organizers
  • Adjustable shelving for customized storage
  • Soft-close door mechanisms
  • Hidden cabinet space behind mirrors
  • Integrated linen storage options

Combo Vanity Installation Guidelines

Good wall preparation sets the foundation for installation. Your plumbing should line up with the vanity's configuration. These combo units need precise measurements because of their integrated design.

Wall anchors work great when studs aren't available. The cabinet needs to sit flat against the wall, and tapered shims help achieve perfect leveling. 

Pro tip: Check door and drawer clearance before final mounting to ensure smooth operation.

Clear installation instructions and all hardware come with our combo vanities. The simple process maintains professional-grade quality, making these units perfect for DIY enthusiasts and professional installers alike.

Drawer-Based Vanities

We know drawer-based vanities inside and out, and our experience shows that smart organization makes bathrooms work better. These sophisticated storage solutions are among our most popular types of bathroom vanities because they blend practical storage with elegant design.

Drawer Vanity Organization Features

Our drawer-based vanities showcase precision engineering and purposeful design. The drawer boxes feature solid rubberwood construction with dovetailed joints that ensure long-lasting durability. The soft-close drawer system stands out as our signature feature - it prevents slamming and makes your vanity last longer.

Drawer Vanity Storage Capacity

Your storage space matters, so we've maximized every inch in our drawer-based vanities. The 1/2-inch side panels and 3-inch frame deliver sturdy support while giving you the most interior space possible. These popular storage features make our vanities stand out:

  • Full-extension drawer slides that give complete access
  • Customizable drawer organizers
  • U-shaped drawers designed around plumbing
  • Integrated drawer dividers for smaller items

Drawer Vanity Material Options

Quality materials make lasting products, and we stand by this principle. The drawer faces combine solid birch wood with an MDF center core panel to give you the perfect mix of durability and style. American-made plywood forms the cabinet box, which ensures exceptional sturdiness and resists moisture well.

The 1/2-inch side panels and 1/4-inch back panel create optimal support with a sleek profile. This construction method helps your vanity last longer and work smoothly year after year.

Linen Cabinet Vanities

Best Brand Cabinets' experience shows that linen cabinet vanities blend sophistication with practicality perfectly. Homeowners love these elegant pieces that maximize bathroom storage and maintain a cohesive design aesthetic.

Linen Cabinet Storage Solutions

Our linen cabinet vanities deliver exceptional organization capabilities. The most popular model comes with three functional soft-closing drawers and a soft-closing door with reversible hinges. 

Linen Cabinet Design Features

Our craftsmen create these linen cabinets with premium materials and meticulous attention to detail. 

Linen Cabinet Installation Tips

The installation process has become easier over the last several years. The proper wall support remains crucial since these units can weigh up to 215 pounds fully loaded. Corner installations need a quarter-inch gap from the wall that accommodates wall surface irregularities.

The cabinet's installation becomes easier by removing all doors and drawers first. Adjustable leg levelers provide up to 1.5 inches of height adjustment that manages uneven floors while keeping a professional appearance.

Traditional-style linen cabinets enhance classic bathrooms beautifully. The contemporary models showcase clean lines and minimalist hardware that complement modern spaces. Each unit includes our standard 5-year warranty that reflects our confidence in durability and craftsmanship.

Narrow Profile Vanities

Want to make the most of your bathroom space? Our narrow profile vanities are perfect for homeowners who need to work with limited space. Best Brand Cabinets has crafted these compact yet powerful types of bathroom vanities that blend style with function.

Narrow Profile Space Optimization

Our narrow vanity cabinets blend naturally into tight spaces without losing any functionality. These space-saving champions can turn the smallest bathrooms into well-organized spaces with depths starting at just 15 inches.

Narrow Profile Storage Solutions

Smart storage in a slim profile needs creative solutions. Our narrow vanities come with:

  • Vertical storage compartments with adjustable shelving
  • Built-in organizers for frequently used items
  • Smart U-shaped drawers around plumbing
  • Pull-out storage solutions that improve access

Our narrow profile designs give you plenty of storage without taking up valuable floor space. Smart features like hidden compartments and modular storage options make sure every inch counts.

Narrow Profile Design Elements

Narrow profile vanities should look as good as they function. You can choose from various finishes, from classic white to modern matte black. The slim design makes your space look bigger while keeping its luxury feel.

Single door and double door narrow vanity cabinets are our most popular options. Need more storage? Our single door tall and narrow vanity cabinets give you extra vertical space without increasing the footprint.

Modern bathroom trends favor these streamlined options, especially in urban homes where space comes at a premium. Clean lines and minimalist design of our narrow profile vanities create an open feel while giving you the storage you need.
