🛁 How to Choose the Best Double Vanity for Your Bathroom Space
When upgrading your bathroom vanity, choosing a double vanity can dramatically improve both functionality and style—especially for shared or master bathrooms. However, not every bathroom is suited for a double sink setup. In this article, we’ll guide you through how to choose the best double vanity based on space, plumbing, storage, countertop material, and design trends.
✅ 1. Is Your Bathroom Large Enough for a Double Vanity?
Before you fall in love with a double sink vanity, check your bathroom dimensions. A 60 inch bathroom vanity is typically the minimum width required for two sinks without feeling cramped.
- Minimum width: 60 inches
- Ideal width for comfort: 72 inches or more
👉 If your space is smaller than 60 inches, consider a single sink vanity with extended countertop space or offset sink placement.
💧 2. Plumbing Considerations: Can You Support Two Sinks?
Most homes are originally built with a single plumbing outlet per vanity. Converting to a double vanity may require:
- Adding a second drain
- Expanding water supply lines
- Repositioning existing plumbing fixtures
While this can be a larger renovation task, it’s often worth the investment in master bathrooms or shared family baths.
Wall-mounted plumbing makes these changes easier and gives you more flexibility in vanity placement.
🧺 3. Maximize Storage with the Right Drawer Layout
The biggest mistake homeowners make? Choosing a beautiful vanity with poor storage. When selecting a bathroom vanity with drawers, think about daily routines:
- Central drawers for grooming tools
- Side cabinets for towels and toiletries
- U-shaped drawers that fit around plumbing
For double vanities, make sure each user has their own drawer space to avoid clutter.
🧱 4. Countertop Materials: Quartz vs. Cultured Marble
Choosing the right vanity top isn’t just about looks—durability and ease of maintenance are key.
Most popular choices:
- Quartz vanity top: Scratch-resistant, non-porous, and modern-looking. Great for families.
- Cultured marble: Sleek and affordable, but more prone to surface scratches.
💡 At Tile & Top, all our vanities come with sealed, premium-grade countertops that resist stains, scratches, and daily wear.
🎨 5. Style Trends: What’s Hot in Double Vanities?
When selecting a modern bathroom vanity, keep in mind current design preferences:
- Color palettes: White, navy blue, dove gray
- Hardware finishes: Matte black, brushed gold, satin nickel
- Design details: Shaker doors, soft-close drawers, integrated lighting
A white vanity with quartz top remains one of the top-selling options for master bathroom renovations.
