If you are on the hunt for a vanity cabinet in Perth, Ontario, we are here to tell you some of the best places to shop and some information on what you should consider before purchasing.

We know it may seem easier and more economical to pop into your neighbourhood big box store for a bathroom vanity, but we will give you the details on why going custom is the best decision. We will talk about how a custom cabinetry company can provide you with the aesthetic and storage you need to fit your style and how you utilize your bathroom.

Bathroom Vanities 

When you begin the process of looking for the perfect bathroom vanity, there are a few important things to keep in mind. The most essential to choosing or designing a great vanity are function, height & width, and style. Let's talk about these a bit below.

Function

How your vanity is designed to function will be based on who and how you use your bathroom. Choosing between a single and double sink may be influenced by whether you have children getting ready for school in the morning or a partner getting ready for work alongside you.

Storage is equally as important. If you reach daily for hair styling tools, cosmetics, and other toiletries, you will want them easily accessible. The storage aspect is where custom vanities can really shine. Working with a bathroom designer, you can create the perfect vanity for all your daily needs and skip out on big box store vanities with little to no options.

Height & Width

Well-designed bathroom vanities will fit perfectly into your renovated space. Pre-assembled vanities will come in standard sizes that may be an incorrect height or width for a room and cause it to look disjointed. Custom vanities can be designed to be the exact size needed for your renovation.

In general, standard bathroom vanities range in height from 32-36." Width varies widely. Powder rooms' vanities range from 18-36." Standard bathrooms between 30-60" and master bathrooms 60" or larger. Master bathrooms also often feature double sinks and extra counter space.

Style

Your bathroom style is a reflection of your whole home's aesthetic. A bathroom vanity helps to carry over the look you are working to achieve in other rooms like your kitchen. Not only will the style of the cabinet reflect your home, but so will the sink and countertop material. Popular cabinet styles include traditional, modern, coastal, and even farmhouse. A designer can help you pick the perfect cabinet style and hardware for your home. 

Countertop material can vary based on budget, durability, and heat-resistance levels. There are many beautiful options today that didn’t exist a decade ago as technology has advanced. 

The most common sink styles are under-mounted, integrated, and vessel. A bathroom designer can also help you with this choice as well.

Big Box Stores

We know it can be tempting to check out bathroom vanities at big box stores like Ikea, RONA, and Home Depot. It can seem convenient and affordable, but to be fair, you get what you pay for. While it may keep the initial cost of your renovation low, the quality of these mass-produced pieces can be less than stellar. That is never something you need to worry about with custom bathroom vanities. 

One of the local vanity cabinet retailers above will have specialized knowledge and industry experience that a big store can't offer.
