Bathroom cabinets or vanities are functional bathroom furniture. Homes, public hotels, airplanes and restaurant bathrooms have bathroom vanities. These cabinets hold the actual sink or basin and provide storage space as well. Double sink vanities are functional and aesthetically appealing in a master bathroom. In a stylish powder room a vanity actually takes center-stage. Vanities may or may not have a sink fitted on it and in some cases, it may be placed just like a sideboard is and performs a similar function.

Every person has different needs in terms of the furniture they have in their house. For a single person a cabinet with a single sink is an ideal option. However, if the bathroom is going to be shared with a partner or a spouse, double sink vanities are a better choice. In some cases, the bathroom itself may not have space enough for two different sinks. In this case, opt for a larger rectangular sink. You can then have two faucets fitted to the cabinet top. If you have opted for any one of the ready-to-use bathroom cabinets that are available in stores, some can also be bought as sets.

In this case, ...
... you might also get a small matching medicine cabinet with a mirror on the front. This can be fitted to the wall right above the sink. It is used for storing medicines and smaller toiletries. The designs, sizes, materials and colors in which these cabinets are available are varied and you are sure to find one that matches your style. However, if you are choosier and prefer to have custom-made bathroom vanity, most furniture stores will make that for you as well. The latest designs make use of a lot of glass. The actual cabinet or vanity may be made of glass and so will the sink.

The glass may be clear or frosted, translucent or colored. The sink that you buy will be bought as a separate piece and you can take your pick from the wide range that is available. Homeowners who have more classic, antique or Victorian tastes can opt for vanities in that particular style. To add to the old world charm, you can opt for a stone or a hammered copper sink. The cabinet can be made of a darker wood and the faucet can be a brass one. These fittings will have to be maintained well as brass tends to tarnish, though nowadays that are all varnished and buffed to a shine that lasts for a long time.

If you have a more contemporary-looking bedroom and bathroom, choose polished chrome or a brushed nickel fittings. The gold tone ones add a very luxurious and rich feel to the bathroom. The double sinks allow couples extra space when they have to get ready simultaneously. Some single-sink cabinets have extra-spacious counter tops. The floor space in your bathroom will decide which cabinet you will pick. Also keep in mind that the vanity will have to fit along the wall where there are existing water and drain connections. If not, there will be a lot of plumbing in store for you.
