Choosing Wood Bathroom Vanities

Wood bathroom vanities are great choices if you want to give your bathroom a warm feel and a touch of class. Wood can be modern or traditional, classic or chic. You can find almost any variety of vanity in either solid wood or with wood accents.

Types of Wood Bathroom Vanities

From cherry to pine, your vanity can come in a huge variety of woods and finishes. Most artisans or manufacturers make vanities out of plywood or particleboard and then add a wood veneer. This method of construction allows your vanity to be durable and inexpensive, but still maintains the lovely wood finish that adds so much charm. These vanities can appear to be solid wood or come accented with a marble, granite, or even glass counter.

A solid wood bathroom vanity might be a bit more of an investment, but will age well. Make sure that you plan to keep your bathroom vanity for a long time before you purchase a solid wood vanity or else you may be wasting your money. A wiser purchase might be a veneered vanity if you enjoy remodeling your home every couple of years or so.

Wood Vanity Cabinets

Most traditional wood vanities have cabinets underneath for bathroom storage. These cabinets can be a lifesaver, especially if you are low on storage space to begin with. Modern wood vanities can come with or without cabinets. Some modern vanities that come without cabinets may also be found as part of a set that include separate cabinets. You can usually install these cabinets over the toilet or on the wall elsewhere in the bathroom. Check online to find other options if your perfect vanity does not come with cabinets. Homes with a linen closet near the bathroom may not require a bathroom cabinet, but take into consideration what you store in your bathroom before you decide against including a bathroom cabinet.

Remodeling your bathroom can be very exciting and time consuming, but by adding a wood vanity, your new bathroom can warm and inviting. Whether you choose a modern style or a classic vanity, wood will give your bathroom a wonderful, natural feel.
