The vanity case, or vanity bathroom cabinets as it is more commonly known, is the bottom half of the bathroom vanity. This attractive and versatile piece of furniture adds much-needed storage to the bathroom, while providing a focal point for the decor of your bathroom design scheme.Finding the perfect vanity case should be the starting point for your bathroom remodeling, as it provides a natural center of gravity to the bathroom, and will be the focal point of not only yourself, but also of any visitors to your new bathroom.The perfect vanity case for your bathroom should take your needs into account, be crafted from the finest materials, and have accessories and fixtures which would suit the gods.

Accounting for your needs

Remember that when you're redesigning your bathroom the goal is not only to make it more stylish and attractive, but also to make it more perfectly suited to the needs of you or your family. Before you even start looking at a vanity case, consider exactly what your needs are.The main function of a vanity case is storage, so think about the things that you will need to store in it. Do you typically have a lot of toiletries and bathroom gadgets that you like to store in the bathroom? If so, then you'll want a vanity case with an abundance of storage. Otherwise, all your toiletries and gadgets will end up in a disorganized and unattractive clutter on the countertop. On the other hand, if you don't need much storage space, you can opt for a sleeker vanity cabinet which doesn't include as much space.

The finest materials

Vanity cabinets are typically constructed from wood, but there are still choices to be considered within this category. You'll want to select a vanity case constructed from a high-quality hardwood, such as maple, oak, or cherry. As wood is a natural material, qualities like grain and texture will vary from one specimen to another. Inspect a variety of vanity cabinets to find one that you find most suitable and most attractive. You should be able to speak with a knowledgeable expert on the specifics of different kinds of lumber at your local home goods or hardware store. Importantly, make sure that the wood is properly treated and sealed. The heat and moisture from the shower will quickly warp and disfigure the wood otherwise.

Accessories suited for the gods

Suited for the gods may be a bit of an overstatement, but once you've found a vanity case that you like, you can customize it extensively with DIY changes and additions, both to the functionality and the style. For instance, if you found a perfect vanity case, but it doesn't have quite enough storage for your needs, then feel free to add in another shelf in the large cabinet underneath the sink. It doesn't take much more than a piece of wood and a few screws, and it can give you a bit more storage space.

An excellent way to modify the appearance of your vanity case without much expense is by changing the knobs and handles. You can often find antique-looking handles at flea markets for no more than a couple of dollars, which can change a store-bought cabinet into an attractive bathroom addition.
