Bathroom vanities can offer many advantages such as space, storage and a great, functional look. Choosing a double sink vanity can give you double the space, storage and especially the added convenience that comes along with them. Some things you will need to consider before buying a double sink vanity are cost, installation space and type of vanity you want.

Cost of a double sink vanity is, on average, about $1500 for an average model that will last for several years. This is roughly double that of a single vanity, but you are getting double the function from it as well. There are some things you can do to make the vanity less expensive, of course, like buying on clearance, buying used or buying from a scratch and dent store. You can also buy wholesale, but unless you are a bit handy and can put the vanity together and install it yourself, this may not be the best option. Though the cost may seem a bit much for your budget, almost everyone who has a double vanity and a family that uses it, wouldn't give it up.

If you are considering a double sink vanity, it is important to make sure you have enough space for it. Though they do come in several sizes if you choose to go with a stock vanity set, some spaces are still too small. If you think you have room for two sinks in a space, you can always get a vanity custom made for your particular area. If that is not an option, you can always choose to get a wide single sink that two people will be able to share.

Now that you know a bit about the cost and size considerations of a double sink vanity, you will need to think about the type of vanity you want. The style of vanity you choose will definitely depend on your own personal style. There are definitely people who love modern styles but who would dislike an antique vanity in their bathroom and vice versa. Materials will also be a consideration when choosing the vanity and sink set. Though most vanities are made of wood cabinets, not all are, and there are definitely other options available like glass, stainless steel and stone. In addition to choosing the material for the vanity, you will also need to think about the material and color of the sink and think about the faucets as well.

When deciding on the look of a double sink vanity, many people will take cues from the rest of their home. If most of your home is traditionally styled, you will probably want your bathroom to follow the same design. Though you can shake it up and change the style if you like, most home decorators recommend your entire home flows with the same style. If not, your newly remodeled room will look out of place. You can speak with a designer, in fact, if you aren't sure what you like. Many work at home improvement stores and will give free consultations.
