Minimal, linear, and often appearing somewhat futuristic, the modern bathroom vanity features sleek lines and contemporary finishes such as chrome, brushed nickel and glass. These innovative design elements are artistically created works of art and often appear fluid and in motion due to their sheen and simplicity.
With their counterparts, the vessel sink, ever growing in popularity, the modern bathroom vanity continues to advance in form and shape. It has its place, and that place is to proudly display the sink above, or to become the sink itself. Modern bathroom vanities are in their own right, stunning pieces of sculpture, artistry and craftsmanship.
Some points to keep in mind when choosing your contemporary bathroom vanity are size, storage options, material and price.
Bathroom vanity size options are only limited by the size of your space. For the doube sink bathroom, there are double sink contemporary vanities, however, one trend in bathroom design is to install one vanity per sink.
Often the modern bathroom vanity offers little storage space, favoring design over practicality. That said, there are contemporary cabinet style vanities available as well. The most modern look in bathroom vanities are those that are wall mounted. These designs are often the most linear and innovative.
The modern vanity is most often not made of wood, although there are some more spa or resort themed vanities that are created from teak and feature a modern-rustic look. When considering glass, keep in mind the possibility of fingerprints being left behind – and the need for immediate wipe-ups after each use – especially if your vanity is being showcased in a guest bathroom.
Contemporary bathroom vanities can be custom designed to fit the space they’re intended for, or they can be purchased “off the rack” online or in high end stores. When paired with the right elements, the modern bathroom vanity can transform a bathroom and give your home the WOW! factor you’re looking for.
