To create a functional, comfortable bathroom and to improve the space, it is necessary to choose the perfect furniture, and to do this it is necessary to know several criteria, so that you can make the best choice.
Just like the sofa in the living room, the sink is the main furnishing element of the bathroom, with the exception of the shower, and both the functionality and comfort and the aesthetics of the space depend on it. Therefore, if you are thinking of changing yours and don’t know where to start, these decoration ideas will help you choose the perfect model.
Here are some criteria for choosing the vanity unit your bathroom needs!
1. How often it will be used
Even if you initially fell in love with that vanity unit, you should demonstrate your practical spirit and buy the model that you really need and that you can afford per meter and price. Remember that for a family bathroom it is not the same as for a courtesy toilet, which is a space you use only for yourself or that you share with children, that you are a “beauty-addicted” who has to store (and conserve) make-up and skincare products and, moreover, it is important to have an idea of the type of things you will store in order to choose a model with doors and drawers where you can arrange everything well.

Both the space and the decor. When it comes to bathroom distribution, the size of the sink is a fundamental aspect. Remember that the standard dimensions vary between 60 and 100 cm in width, although there are 50 cm for small bathrooms, that the usual depth is 46 cm and that the height varies, although at the foot it is usually between 83.5 and 91.5 cm. The idea is to adapt the furniture to the dimensions of the room. If you have a small 60 cm hole, you must exploit the maximum capacity, with a floor-standing model or with three drawers plus a suspended one, more visually appealing, but with a smaller capacity.
3. Type of installation
Suspended or with legs? This is an important factor, not only on an aesthetic level, but also for practical reasons (to make holes or not). Therefore, a suspended cabinet prevents the accumulation of dirt, facilitates cleaning and is visually lighter, which is why it is a good option in bathrooms of several meters. While a wall mural with legs, aesthetically “dresses up” the bathroom, is easy to install, there is no need to make holes. Furthermore, some of our models have the possibility of attaching drawers with wheels which can be relocated in different spaces of the bathroom according to needs and which are able to adapt to particular distributions and offer a tailor-made response.
4. Appropriate materials
Steam and water are part of everyday life in this room. For this reason, sometimes we get carried away by aesthetics or price without taking into account the fact that bathroom furniture is subject to constant use and high humidity, and in this regard, nothing better than materials that respond well to these circumstances, are easy to clean and resist continuous jogging.
Here are the advantages of each material. Those in wood, solid or veneered, offer a natural touch, are more expensive, but are also very resistant, they tolerate humidity well as long as they are treated and cleaned with a damp cloth. Chipboard and _The latest generation melamine (important detail) resists humidity, abrasion and impacts well and is easy to clean, while MDF “is the leading material for creating specific shapes and designs, such as corners, moldings and rounded edges. It can be coated with PVC, a cheaper solution than paint, and can be cleaned with water and neutral soap”. In current bathrooms, do not forget about microcement and synthetics.

In addition to its functionality, we need it to integrate into the bathroom decor, obtaining a harmonious whole. As the star of the space, it defines the style of the other elements and, although little attention was previously paid to its aesthetics for reasons of practicality, now care is taken of the design and color. In this way you can bet on classic models with doors and drawers; minimalist, without handles and in neutral colors; ‘shabby chic’, with moldings and in white, or rustic looking, in wood with drawers and a lower shelf to store more baskets for towels or toilet paper.
6. Choose templates that are easy to use
When choosing bathroom furniture, you must take into account your habits so that they match what you are looking for and you do not have to adapt to it. To do this, take into account not only the size, but also the composition and shape, because you may be more interested in having three drawers than two doors, if you have a lot of small things to store, or with an extractable drawer. see the inside at a glance or store bulky products and cans.
7. The furniture you choose must have the storage capacity you desire

To avoid falling into the mistake of having a messy bathroom, priority must be given to the spaces and with them to the containment tools. Taking into account the fact that a large number of products accumulate in this room, we need to know where to store them, depending on the size of the room. The placement of large furniture will not detract from the elegance of the environment, but will become an additional decorative element. The use of organizers, a fundamental element for maintaining order and adequate distribution of products, will allow greater flexibility, accessibility and facilitate cleaning… Perhaps the way furniture is dressed in the form of accessories and “props” is as important as the furniture itself.
8. To adapt it to your needs.
Without being a made-to-order piece of furniture. You need it to respond to your habits and simplify your daily routine. That’s why manufacturers now allow you to design it (almost) completely. Not only can you choose the model, design and material, but you can also incorporate drawers adjustable in height and depth, so that they adapt to what you need, with or without handle, with progressive closing to avoid unpleasant bumps…
9. You must consider that the furniture you choose will be there for a long time or even forever
While my sink design needs to be in harmony with the rest of my decor, it’s important to choose a timeless design, with clean lines and little ornamentation, that will stand the test of time. Wood and light colors (white or grey), although we love the personality of dark ones, suffer less over the years and are always in good condition. Plus, it offers extra warmth. If you want to give an original touch, choose a wall-mounted sink, or add color with accessories and towels.
10. Keep up with the latest trends
Although the ideal piece of furniture must satisfy your needs, your tastes, the available shelves and have a timeless design, it is important to know the latest trends in bathroom furnishings, because they will not only allow us to update the “look”, but also to incorporate mechanisms and solutions that make our lives easier. Thus, chests of drawers are trendy above the doors, while the drawers are equipped with soft closing and ‘push & pull’ opening, i.e. without handles, making cleaning easier. The interior layout is also a plus.
