Hot Bathroom Vanity Trends

Who doesn't love a chic, modern bathroom vanity? No one. No one doesn't love a chic, modern bathroom vanity. They're sort of the Sara Lee of home furnishing. Contemporary vanities are available in a variety of styles, shapes and sizes, which means it's never difficult to track down one that will work for your place. Take the double-sink vanity pictured above (found here) for example. This striking piece combines rich, dark wood with cultured marble to create a modern-yet-timeless look that's sure to give any bathroom a much-needed contemporary boost. Modern bathroom vanities make use of clean lines and innovative design to create an unbeatable aesthetic. Try combining your contemporary vanity with a classically designed bathtub, such as a clawfoot tub. The mix of styles will produce a look that will last for years.

While contemporary vanities continue to catch people's eyes, antique vanities are more popular than ever. Antique bathroom vanities are most often crafted from wood, if you can believe it. These tasteful pieces are absolutely radiating with class. The majority of them feature ornately carved designs and sturdy construction. Many people buy authentic antique vanities from antique shops, but it's also easy to find brand new vanities with antique design, as well. If you buy a used antique vanity, you may have to refinish it. This sounds like the perfect opportunity for a Saturday afternoon project which you can parlay into an adorable blog post! Have your spouse take photos of you while you strip, sand, paint and finish your piece, then upload them to the internet to prove to your friends that you really do live a quaint, homey lifestyle. Have fun!
