Why You Should Choose a Double Vanity

If you’re embarking on a bathroom remodeling project and are trying to decide between a single and a double vanity, always choose the double. Double vanities are best in master bedrooms and children’s bathrooms, but are also nice in full guest baths. They may overwhelm half or three-quarter baths, but if you’ve got a large enough bathroom, you can make it work.

Double Vanities are Twice as Functional

As any married couple can tell you, a single sink vanity requires extra bathroom negotiation in the morning and before bed. By opting for a dual sink vanity, you and your spouse will each have your own space where you can brush your teeth, apply makeup, or shave without worrying about the other person needing to get in there. Many couples say that double vanities keep the peace in their marriages.

The same holds true for children. Imagine having two daughters, one fourteen and one sixteen, trying to share one sink. It’s not a pretty picture, is it? By installing a dual vanity, you cut down on the early morning fighting.

Double Vanities Enhance Resale Value

When people are house-hunting, they initially look at the kitchens, bathrooms, room size, and room count. While increasing the number or size of the rooms may not be possible, you can make changes in the kitchen and bathroom to boost resale value.

In the master bathroom, install a double vanity if space permits. It not only gives the bathroom a larger appearance, it also increases the perceived value of the home. If your prospective buyers can imagine themselves being more comfortable in the bathroom, they’re more likely to put your home at the top of their list. Two sinks can mean the difference between an offer and a pass if everything else is equal.

When starting a remodel, you have lots of choices. If you’re not sure whether a single or dual vanity would be best, visit open houses in your area to see how other people are doing it. You’d be surprised how obvious the difference is when it’s not your own home – and by how much you prefer the look of double vanities.
