Luxury Bathroom Vanity Considerations
In many cases, luxury vanities are designed to customer specifications, and occasionally the owner may wish to have the sink area of the vanity raised to thirty six inches (in comparison with the average of 30 inches).
When a
home is under construction or being remodeled,
the owners may decide on an upscale master bath.
These are usually much larger than average sized
bathrooms and are appointed with higher quality
necessities and several luxury features.
The shower may be finished with decorative
tiles, repeated in a backsplash. There may be an
enclosed commode area, skylights, and special
lighting. But the main focal point is the
vanity. It is the most noticeable décor in a
luxury bath, since solid wood cabinetry with
quality workmanship is found in most premium
vanity designs.
Luxury bathroom vanities in this category often
utilize double sink construction, but the
majority offer more than two sinks in one
countertop. Many provide each user with a
useable amount of space around the sink, as well
as additional space between the two sinks for
grooming items, towels, dryers, and other
essentials. In many cases, luxury vanities are
designed to customer specifications, and
occasionally the owner may wish to have the sink
area of the vanity raised to thirty six inches
(in comparison with the average of 30 inches).
Those six extra inches allow a greater comfort
when bending over the sink, especially for
taller individuals. The extra counter space
between the two working areas is often dropped
down to normal height, creating a lower
“bridge”. A customer can request additional
cabinetry for storage underneath this bridge,
extending the look of the vanity. Another
customer may choose no cabinetry underneath to
create a seated make-up place. Yet another owner
may decide to place that extra counter space at
one end of the vanity instead of in the middle.
Options do not end with the look, size or layout
of the vanities; some buyers also request
under-mounted sink installation. This feature
removes the protrusion, or lip, around the sink
edge, which decreases the amount of puddles from
water hitting the protrusion and sliding down
onto the workspace.
All customization requires the assistance of a
professional bathroom designer. The designer
will suggest a vast array of countertops,
hardware, fixtures, mirrors and lighting to
complement the upscale vanity cabinetry and will
also co-ordinate installation with other
vendors. (For example, a Jacuzzi is often
encased in wood cabinetry that matches the
vanity, and has ceramic tile that matches the
floor around its edge; this requires excellent
communication between different suppliers and
installers.)
With luxury bathrooms, vanity possibilities are
endless!
