One of the highest points of design impact in your bathroom is your vanity. Along with your tub, the vanity is one of the first noticeable elements upon entering the space. How do you know which style vanity is right for you? With all of the designs available on the market today, selecting a vanity can be a nightmare. This does not have to be the case. By analyzing your style and determining what kind of look you want to achieve, selecting a vanity for your bathroom can be fun and exciting.
If your home is more traditional, you may want to select a built-in vanity. If you wish to create a more contemporary and modern look, you may be better off selecting a free-standing vanity. Free-standing vanities are available in more colors and finishes and are easier to install compared to their built-in counterparts. You can select light or dark woods, and tops constructed of stainless steel, marble, glass, granite as well as other finishes. When selecting a vanity, talk to your retailer about purchasing a piece that has all of the selected finishes of your design together in once piece of furniture. Many times in showrooms you may see a vanity with a base you like, but a top finish in a color you may not want in your bathroom. Find out if other colors are available so you can get what you want in one sale.
Once you have selected a style, take into consideration what uses your vanity should have such as storage and style. If you have a lot of make up and other facial products, select a vanity with additional storage.
After you have selected your design, it is time to show it off with your bathroom lighting. If you have decided to go with a built-in vanity, accessorize your selection with bathroom vanity lighting. This installation will allow you to showcase your purchase and make it a key design element. Once of the best choices in bathroom vanity lighting is wall sconces. Choose a sconce that can be installed above the mirror; this will allow for the light to shine down onto the design element itself. If you decided to go with a his-and-hers vanity style, you can even install a wall sconce between areas, allowing for a division of space and an overall balanced look.
There are other options in bathroom lighting to dress up the space. If you have a stronger light focused on your new vanity, you may want to address the other light fixtures in your bathroom. Install a light fixture where you can soften the lighting for a relaxing atmosphere.
Bathroom lighting does not have to limited to functionality. If you are looking to create a certain feel in the space, you can allow your vanity selection to set the tone. If you select a vanity with darker woods and stainless steel fixtures, allow such elements to assist you with accessorizing the space. Purchase a simple piece of art to hang on the wall that will complement the other colors and design elements in your bathroom. Let your light fixtures play up your bold design choices. If you decide to hang art on the walls, play it up by installing track lighting in that part of the bathroom. You can adjust the lighting to focus on the key elements of your design.
Whatever design you choose, make sure that the space has a balance and a flow to it. If you prefer traditional styles in your home, select a built-in vanity and accessorize it with bathroom lighting and fixtures that complement the design. If you are looking to take on a new direction of style in your home, select a freestanding vanity with a modern and contemporary finish.
