Bathroom Sink and Cabinets - Quickly Change A Bathroom's Look

Bathroom sink cabinets, otherwise called vanities, have been a staple in bathroom décor for decades. Before cabinetry was added into bathrooms, a sink simply stood alone on a pedestal. Lately, this pedestal-style sink has actually come back into style and is a very popular choice in many bathroom remodeling jobs. However, a bathroom vanity with a cupboard underneath for storage and a counter on top is still one of the most convenient choices for any bathroom.

You especially see this style of bathroom sink cabinets in most master suite bathrooms. Most homes that have been built in the last 10 to 20 years have a floor plan that includes a large master bedroom with an attached master bathroom. These bathrooms are usually very large and most offer a long countertop with his and hers double sinks. This option allows for an abundance of storage underneath while accommodating the homeowners with a huge amount of countertop space to set out essential daily health and beauty items or simply to use as an area for decorating.

Most bathroom vanities are built-in to the home, but in higher scale home markets and in the case of remodeling a bathroom, many people choose the more elegant look of cabinetry that looks like beautiful or antique pieces of freestanding furniture. These cabinets are usually made out of high quality wood and are usually topped with beautiful granite or marble countertops. Many times, the sink looks as though it is a freestanding bowl instead of an indentation. You can easily spend well over five figures on many of these high quality pieces. You can also enjoy the look of some very unique bathroom sink cabinets for well under $500.

Don't overlook the option of shopping for a beautiful antique sideboard or low dresser or bureau that can be converted into a bathroom sink cabinet. Almost every antique furniture shop will have something that would be appropriate. If the piece is made out of a good solid hardwood such as oak, cherry or maple, it will not matter if the surface is a little beat up. You can easily refinish this type of quality furniture.

Many large cabinetry retail outlets also offer a back room with their "scratch and dent" inventory. Many of the pieces in this room are not there because they are damaged, but because they are extra inventory from a previous job that does not have a match. Because the bathroom is a smaller room than a kitchen, you may only need one or two cabinets to match. This makes the job of finding a good quality piece of cabinetry for a reduced price even easier. Don't be afraid to ask about this option. You may find the perfect bathroom sink cabinet just waiting for you to take it home.
