Many homes are laid out with relatively small bathrooms. Unless a home includes a master suite, it may not come with sink and vanities combinations. The size of the bathroom will determine what you can install. His and her sinks are usually preferred, but not always a necessity if the space will not support it. However, his and her vanities are almost requirement. This means that when you install the counter surface you need to place the sink in the middle and leave enough space on either side for two different people. If you are unsure of the benefits of sink vanities, consider the convenience of having everything you need for the morning in one place. No running around tracking down the one thing you forgot before hopping in the shower.

When you look at sink vanities the convenience is always a big selling factor. However, it is not the only benefit. A vanity counter can add visual interest to a room. A bathroom, particularly when it is small, can look very generic. A unique vanity counter can combat that issue. There are tons of different options, and even some ways to totally personalize your counter top so that you can have one that is one-of-a-kind. Tile, glass, marble counter tops, granite, solid surface resin, and laminate are all commonly used counter top materials.

There are several different ways to personalize your counter tops. You can choose tile and either go with hand painted tiles or put them together in a unique mosaic pattern. This will give you a countertop that you will not see anywhere else. With natural stone counters, every piece of stone is slightly different. Even the coloration varies depending on where the stone was quarried and how it was cut. Laminate and glass are the two materials that are unlikely to offer truly unique options for sink vanities. However, you can get sink vanities as a single piece with a solid surface resin. This may not offer a truly unique item, but it does allow for easy clean up.

Solid surface resin counter tops made to resemble natural stone are able to be cast with the sink as a seamless part of the surface. Since this material is absolutely seamless, it is resistant to mold and mildew, an important consideration for a bathroom installation. Sink vanities must be made from materials that are resistant to staining, heat and moisture. The styling options are endless, and you need to consider all the possibilities before making a final choice. You will want to take a look at different styles of sink as well.

Sink vanities can include his and her sinks, which are usually inset, or a single vessel sink, which can add a lovely visual element. Vessel sinks are becoming more and more popular. They are made from as many different materials as you find with countertops, with the addition of different metals. A copper sink is an option when you are looking for a unique finish for your bathroom.
