A really easy way to update your bathroom without doing a complete remodel and without spending a lot of money is to replace your bathroom vanity. Bathroom vanities can cost as little as $ 100 (depending on the size you need), up to a couple thousand depending on your taste and budget. I’m going to talk about several different options that are available for different budget levels to help you get the bathroom of your dreams.
RTA bathroom vanities or pre-assembled vanities are a great way to give your bathroom a fresh look without spending a lot of money to do so. Most building supply stores have their own line of preassembled bathroom vanities that you can take out of the box and place in your bathroom. While they are starting to add more design details to the vanity, these bathroom vanities are traditionally your staple cabinet with a few door accents that come in a wide range of door styles and finishes. There are also hundreds of companies that sell RTA bathroom vanities on the web. These are generally of slightly better quality than the ones you’ll find at Home Depot or Lowes and are generally less expensive as they don’t have the huge overhead costs that big box stores have. The difference between store bought dressers and RTA dressers you find online is that you will have to assemble the RTA dressers yourself (which usually only requires a screwdriver). These are the same style cabinets you’ll find in every mid-priced new home.
If you are looking for something a little more modern, one of the most popular remodeling trends is the Euro Vanity. The euro vanity can be identified by the sink that protrudes at the front and the doors that curve downward. Most vanities are sold as a set with the included sink. These can also be found as pre-assembled units in the store, or as rta bathroom vanities online. While the cabinet itself is not typically as deep as traditional vanities, it still offers storage space under the sink. Most companies will offer 3 basic finishes: White, Oak and Cherry, but from time to time you can find some unique finishes if you search hard enough. If you are looking for a more modern look in the rest of your home, this is a great way to bring the same design features to your bathroom.
Something that has become more popular in recent years among people trying to create a more personalized look in their bathroom is what they call a bathroom cabinet. It’s called a furniture vanity, because people literally took old furniture and adapted it to accommodate plumbing and a sink. Due to the demand for this type of dressing table, manufacturers finally began to create dressing tables that look like antique furniture. You will find this type of vanity in many of the higher end homes that want to keep the custom look of the home flowing into the bathroom. The possibilities are endless when it comes to furniture vanities, and prices can range from a couple of hundred to a couple of thousand. This is a great look if you have the big budget to make your bathroom look as good as the vanity does!
Finally, for the ultra-personalized look there is the artistic or decorative bathroom vanity. This type of dressing table is a cross between a furniture dressing table and a work of art. They offer the style and details of furniture, with the artistic touches of a work of art. For the homeowner who really wants to make a statement with their bathroom design, or even make it a centerpiece of the home, the Artistic Bathroom Vanity is the best choice. However, this kind of tall design comes at a price … with most dressers starting at $ 1,000 and going up from there, this is no small investment. What’s really great about the handful of companies that are selling them is that they come as a complete kit with the matching vanity top, sink, and mirror included. There are not many manufacturers, so if you are looking for a decorative bathroom vanity, be prepared to browse the web.
Regardless of whether you are renovating a vanity or designing the bathroom for a multi-million dollar home, there is a wide range of options and price levels to fit your budget. Take the time to compare prices, both in stores and on the web, and you will find exactly what you are looking for at an affordable price.
