At Ross’s Discount Home Centre, we understand that double basin vanity units aren’t just fixtures in a bathroom; they’re a statement of style, functionality, and the epitome of convenience. Whether renovating your master bathroom or upgrading to a more luxurious space, choosing the right double sink vanity can be transformative. It can also mean more vanity top space, more storage room, and the best benefit: two people can use the two sinks simultaneously.
Here’s our comprehensive guide to help you select the perfect double vanity unit while maintaining our brand’s ethos of reliability, customer-centricity, and approachability.
Understanding Double Vanities
Double vanities, characterised by their two sinks and two tap holes within a single unit, are ideal for bathrooms used by more than one person, offering ample space and convenience. They bring a harmonious blend of function and style, enhancing the bathroom’s aesthetics while providing practical solutions for daily routines.
Design: Freestanding vs. Wall Mounted Double Basin Vanity Unit
When choosing a double vanity bathroom cabinet, there are two main types to consider: freestanding vs wall mounted vanities. Let’s explore both options:
Freestanding vanities
Freestanding or floor-mounted double vanities are a timeless and elegant choice. They are easy to install and add a touch of traditional appeal to any bathroom. They work well in larger bathrooms, offering ample storage space to keep your essentials organised and accessible.
Wall-Mounted Vanities
On the other hand, wall-mounted double vanities offer a contemporary look. They create an illusion of space and are perfect for sleek and modern bathrooms. Cleaning underneath is easy, too, as there are no obstacles.
Considering these factors, you can make a more informed decision based on your style, bathroom size, and cleaning preferences.
Configuration: Cupboards and Drawers
The internal configuration of your vanity should cater to your storage needs. Consider how you plan to use the space. Do you need more drawers for small items or larger cupboards for towels and bulkier products? Or would you prefer no drawers, only doors and shelves?
At Ross’s Discount Home Centre, we offer various configurations and styles to suit diverse storage needs.
Size Matters
The size of your vanity units should be in proportion to your bathroom. Double vanity sizes that are too large can overwhelm a small space, while a small vanity in a large bathroom might look out of place. Measure your space carefully, and remember to account for door openings and other fixtures.
Vanity Top Options
The vanity top serves functional and aesthetic purposes, making it an essential element in any bathroom design. When choosing the right vanity top, there are two popular options to consider: integrated basin tops and benchtop basins.
Integrated Basin Tops
Double vanity units with integrated basin tops are popular for those seeking a seamless and contemporary look. They offer a sleek and cohesive appearance, seamlessly integrating the basin into the counter. This design enhances the minimalist aesthetic and makes cleaning a breeze.
Above Counter Basins
On the other hand, double vanity units with above counter basins add a touch of luxury and elegance to any bathroom. Available in a wide range of designs and materials, they offer endless possibilities for customisation. Whether you prefer a classic ceramic basin or a modern glass or stone basin, benchtop basins allow you to personalise your vanity top to match your desired style and overall bathroom decor.
Vanities with both integrated vanity tops and countertop basins have unique advantages, and the choice ultimately depends on your preferences and the overall design vision for your bathroom. Whether you choose, incorporating a well-designed and thoughtfully selected vanity top can significantly enhance your bathroom.
Material Choices
From the durability and quality of natural stone to the sleek look of porcelain, the material of your vanity top plays a crucial role in the overall look and longevity of the vanity. Stone top double bowl vanities are popular and come in various styles. In addition to the vanity top, consider the material of the vanity itself. We offer 2-pac coated MDF vanities and waterproof PVC vanity units, ideal for family bathrooms. Each has pros and cons, so consider maintenance, cost, durability, and style to determine which material is best for you.
Functionality and Storage
A double vanity offers more room than a standard bathroom vanity and should cater to your practical needs. Think about the number of toiletries, cosmetics, and other bathroom essentials you need to store. Efficient storage solutions, like dividers in drawers or pull-out shelves, can maximise space and keep your bathroom clutter-free.
Ease of Installation
Consider the installation process. A floor-mounted double vanity is generally easier to install than a wall-hung double vanity unit. Ensure you have the right plumbing in place, and consider seeking professional help for installation, especially for wall-hung units.
Lighting and Mirrors
The right lighting and vanity mirror can elevate the functionality and aesthetics of your double vanity. Consider mirrored cabinets for extra storage or large statement mirrors to create a sense of space and an LED mirror for light.
