Bathroom Vanities
When deciding to remodel your bathroom and update the amenities you should consider the style you want to project. If you have an older home with antique furniture, try to incorporate this style into your bathroom. Bathroom vanities have come a long way from the plain Jane porcelain bowl hanging out of the wall. The vanities today can add that special look to your bathroom.
One of the up and coming styles today is glass. They have become very popular and if treated with care can last for years while adding that touch of class to your bathroom. With the popularity of stainless today in kitchen appliances, why wouldn’t you extend stainless to the bath. They make a statement for modern, sleek, clean-lined rooms and are pretty easy to take care of. If your thing is antiques, some of the most beautiful dresser type bathroom vanities are on the market today. They are quite impressive and if you didn’t know better you would think it actually was a dresser. These are very popular with the antique collector who likes to furnish their home with vintage pieces.
Regardless of what style you choose let it reflect the dcor of the rest of the home and allow rooms to flow from one to another. If your hall has hardwood floors and Persian or pseudo Persian rugs and the dcor is fitting with this, you wouldn’t want your bathroom to be furnished with cheap looking fixtures. Focus on what type of bathroom vanity and other items would go with the hall. This would be the ideal place for the antique dresser bathroom vanity.
On the other hand if your leading room to the bath is furnished more modern with glass and carpet and sleek, straight lines, this bathroom would fit in better with either the glass bathroom vanity or something in black with coordinating lines. Tying in these elements is what makes someone think that you put more than a little thought into a room that used to be just a bathroom.
Bathroom vanities today are available in so many styles and colors that it is hard to make a choice. However if you take a couple of trips to look at what is available and keep in mind what you are wanting to tie in with, there should be no problem finding the perfect bathroom vanity and matching accessories to compliment the rest of your home.
Not so many years ago the outside bathroom was the only choice we had. I can’t imagine trying to decorate one of those. Bathroom vanities were unheard of then and no one considered whether to have one bowl or two. Much less how to furnish it. An amazingly short time ago if you really stop and think about it. We had to jump up in the middle of the night, cold weather or not, and run outside. The bathroom has come a long way in a short time and I, for one, am glad it did.
