Bathroom Vanity Design Ideas for Small Bathrooms




A small bathroom can make it more difficult to create a bathroom. A vanity is a vital component of a bathroom. It can provide storage and still allow for creativity. These are some small bathroom vanity ideas.


 Customized Vanity


Bathrooms of any size require careful planning. This is especially important for small bathrooms where every inch is valuable. You could end up wasting precious space if you choose a vanity too big.

A floating vanity can be customized with a ledge that runs the length of your wall. This unique piece will maximize storage space and counter space while fitting perfectly into the area. This is a long-term investment.

Floating in the air


Design movements can create the illusion of a bigger bathroom while also optimizing space planning. The bathroom will appear larger if the vanity and toilet are floating. This creates more space underneath. This makes it easier to clean the floor. To reduce clutter visual, towels and the wastebasket can also be stored within the vanity.

Open Towel Shelf

Although wall-mounted sinks or worktops can be useful in small bathrooms, they often lack the storage space that is required for such an area.

You can place a floating shelf supported under the counter. This will make the bathroom brighter, more open and functional while also storing towels.

Give Furniture a new purpose

A bathroom vanity is not the easiest design to convert from a midcentury modern cabinet. It will add drama to a small space that has limited space.

Begin by finding the furniture piece you want to use and then design the space around it. It will be difficult to choose the right sink and faucet if you don't have the vanity measurements. All important considerations include the dimensions of the sink, faucet reach, and faucet height.

Furniture Lookalike Vanity

You can make a customizable vanity look like an antique dresser. A personalized vanity will allow you to express your preferences. You can also have customized vanity storage such as a curling iron organizer and hairdryer. You may find your hair tools plugged into the cabinet. To use them, you will need to remove them from their holders and switch them on.

Built-in Lighting

The next step after looking at small-bathroom vanity options is to add everything around it, including lighting.

You could even incorporate lighting into the mirror and vanity. You can make the most of your mirror space by using an electric mirror that provides plenty of light for job illumination.

Slim Sink and Washstand

In a small bathroom, replace a pedestal sink with a smaller sink and washstand. The retro design looks great in a bathroom set up in the same style. This shape will hide the bathroom wall and project less. The compact space will be further enhanced by a drawer and shelf.

Corner Storage

The sink can be placed in the corner to provide additional storage. Install a wall-mount cabinet that is custom made and recessed into the wall next to the sink to keep the bathroom open and clean. Open shelving on one side will show more carefully selected items while cabinets doors on the opposite side will conceal small decorative necessities such as toilet paper.

TV Console Double Vanity

Another idea for a small bathroom double vanity is this: You can convert a TV cabinet into a vanity to fit your small bathroom. It will be simpler to convert a TV cabinet into a vanity in terms of plumbing. You won't need to make any adjustments to drawers like you would with a dresser. You also have a lot of storage space.

Matching Materials

Bathrooms are often small and can be found in smaller homes. This makes it easier to design a cohesive bathroom, while still being economical. You can make it unique by using engineered-pink wood floors and the same finish on the vanity. By simplifying and maintaining consistency in materials, it creates the illusion of more space.

Mirrored vanity

Mirrors make great design elements for small spaces, especially in dark rooms. Mirrors reflect light and create a brighter, lighter space. Mirrored vanity can add elegance to a room and reflect light, creating a larger space.

Minimalists are the best!

Although it's not the most elegant or sophisticated solution to bathroom vanity storage problems, it is certainly one of the most elegant. Many minimalist vanities are simple and offer a plain cubby instead of cabinets, drawers, or shelves. It is easy to reach, high enough to store everything you need, including toothpaste and hand towels. The pull-out drawer may be appreciated by people who have lots of hair products, makeup or other grooming items. This compact wall-mounted bathroom vanity is still revolutionary because of its simplicity.

Counter-Height Drawers

Bathroom vanity storage can be difficult because the most accessible space, the one immediately below the counter, is often clogged by the piping from your sink. Bathroom vanities often place a false drawer cover over this area, leaving behind a disorganized cabinet underneath. Smart designers find creative ways to make the most of this space. The best vanities will not hide this space but can be offset sinks that have counter-level drawers or clever tip-out drawers that convert the area around the sink to storage.

Raised Cabinet


It is a minor inconvenience to have to open your bathroom vanity cabinet, then stoop down and sort through that messy, large area. Many compact, well-designed bathroom vanities offer an alternative solution. They raise the cabinet to make it easier to reach. Some do this with the bottom left open, but I prefer those that have additional drawer storage. The standard cabinet door can be replaced with two smaller versions. It is easy to reach down and open the doors without needing to bend or stoop.

Style over Fashion

Perhaps there is a pattern to this design. Bathroom vanities that have the most storage space tend to be the modern end of the spectrum. You don't have to sacrifice utility just because you like a more traditional look. Double- and triple-check the storage capabilities of traditional vanity models. Although traditional vanities have a greater likelihood of having the faux-drawer panel, manufacturers are increasingly adding modern storage components to traditional-looking vanities. It is easy to see how many and how large your cabinets and drawers are on a modern vanity. However, it can sometimes be difficult to tell if a vanity truly has storage-smart features because they are often hidden beneath other traditional elements of vanity.

Bathroom vanities are often chosen for their aesthetics rather than utility. It is often only when you have to look for a place to store all your stuff that you realize just how inconvenient large-cabinet bathroom vanities can be. These storage solutions will help you find the perfect bathroom vanity for you, especially if your bathroom is small. When you are looking for somewhere to store your mouthwash, you will be glad you did!
