Double Bathroom Vanities Make Daily Hygienic Tasks a Breeze

Ranked #30,707 in Home & Garden, #485,558 overall

In a small house, space is at a premium, especially in heavily trafficked areas such as the restroom. In households with more than one person, it is not unusual to find family members vying for space or standing in line waiting for a turn at the vanity. This can lead to added stress on the family and tardiness at work or school. Double bathroom vanities can help ease the stress and make daily hygienic tasks a breeze.

Double vanities and hygiene

A double bathroom vanity offers more counter and storage space. Simpler models may only offer storage below the sink, but nicer models include storage and additional mirrors above the sink as well. This helps eliminate the cluttered appearance typically found with traditional vanities. Since family members no longer have to search for the items they need, they are able to complete their tasks at a faster rate and with less chance of mistakenly grabbing the wrong product.

With bathroom double sink vanities, two people can be attending to hygienic tasks such as brushing teeth or washing hands at the same time. This can help make normally high traffic times, such as mornings or bedtimes, less stressful and flow more efficiently. It also reduces the likelihood of someone accidentally getting smeared with something.

Lights and style

Some double vanities come with additional lighting. Anyone who has ever poked themselves in the eye with a mascara wand can see the value of better lighting. Men will appreciate being able to see any hairs they have missed while shaving as well.

There are a variety of designs to choose from, but there are several things one should keep in mind when purchasing a bathroom double sink vanity. Size is the first thing to keep in mind. While choosing a bigger model may seem a good idea when considering how many people will be using the vanity, large double vanities can overpower small bathrooms and leave you with very little standing room.

Storage and usage

Your storage needs are another factor to consider. For a small household, an upper storage cabinet may not be a necessity unless there is an abundance of personal products. In larger households, having the extra cabinet to store everyone's items can help save time and stress.

The third item to keep in mind is usage. If the double bathroom vanity is going to be heavily used, choosing a vanity that can stand up to a lot of use is essential. A vanity used by only two people or placed in a guest bathroom probably doesn't need to be as hardy. Households with children may want to choose vanities made of easy to clean materials.

Moving forward

Once you've determined these factors, you can move on to determining your preference in style and color. Styles range from simple to ornate and antique to modern. Just about any color you can imagine is available.

If you can't find a double vanity to fit your preferences or needs, you may want to consider a custom vanity. Custom vanities are generally available one of two ways. One, you have it built and then installed. Two, you have it built directly into your bathroom. In bathrooms that have awkward layouts or are small, it may be best to have the vanity built in to make the most efficient use of the space available.
