Choosing a vanity for your bedroom or bathroom can truly compliment the room and be a great addition. Before buying a vanity you must understand the difference in a bathroom vanity and a bedroom vanity.

A bathroom vanity is usually specifically designed for the bathroom with a sink or a spot for a sink in the middle of the vanity. If you buy a bathroom vanity you can usually expect to purchase a mirror to compliment the vanity.

Some bathroom vanities have two sinks and these types are known as either a "double sink vanity" or just "double vanity"  A double sink vanity can have two mirrors, one for each sink or one large mirror running the length of the two sinks.

When deciding the height of the bathroom vanity, remember that it will have feet that screw on the bottom of the vanity which add to the height of the vanity. The bathroom vanity will also have pre-cut holes for the hardware and faucets that operate the temperature and strength of the water.

In addition to the features listed above about bathroom vanities, they also come in various sizes, styles and colors. The height of a bathroom vanity is usually pretty close to the next bathroom vanity while the width and style vary wildly. Some popular styles of bathroom vanities are tuscan, cherry, marble top vanity, granite top vanity, antique vanity, modern vanity, mirrored and glass vanities, black vanities and the white bathroom vanity.

Popular sizes for bathroom vanities are 24", 30", 36", 42", 48", 60" and even a big 72" vanity is available.

The price for a cheap bathroom vanity will cost in the $200.00 range while an elegant vanity made from fine materials such as polished royal mahogany wood and a granite top can run in the $2,500.00 to $4,000.00 range and even more.
