Thank you Carolyn, how high would you have the tower?

Another vote for a tower. I love ours and couldn't live without it if we move.

The sinks seem too close to the wall like you'll bump your elbow on the wall every time you use it. I'd recommend moving the sinks away from the wall a bit and use a filler piece between the cabinet doors and the wall. Your drawers in the center will be a bit narrower. Also if you use the filler you'll have room for wall sconces next to the mirrors.

Don't get a huge mirror or any mirror that's attached to the wall. Find two nice framed mirrors and hang them on hooks. It'll look great.

Thank you Kas4. I'm getting excited about the tower. Is yours open cubbies or closed? I appreciate your thoughts on the cabinet layout- I think you are absolutely correct- I worried about bumping the wall and it would drive me crazy. Also for the mirrors, can you use any mirrors or do they need to be something specially made for a bathroom to resist moisture? I appreciate your help.

Our tower is closed with double doors hinged in the center so that they open towards the person using each side. Our mirrors came from a frame shop and they are normal mirrors, not specially made for a bathroom or moisture.

Put an electrical outlet inside one or both sides of the tower for electric toothbrush, etc.

If you don't have medicine cabinets, then a tower might be great for holding a ton of little stuff. Otherwise, you'll definitely need something to fill all the space between two sinks.

Personally, I'd break the two banks of 3-foot drawers into smaller sets, which are less likely to descend into chaos. Maybe two banks of 14-inch drawers on the outsides of the sinks, then the sink sections as drawn, and then the rest in two banks of more manageable size. That will let you have sconces, if so inclined, as well as space to put your cup or toothbrushes on either side of the sink without feeling crowded. There is no need to feel cramped with this much space!

Here is our tower. It is 50” high.

In my house that tower would be destroyed in a matter of months. If someone in your household is a sloppy face washer or tooth brushes, I’d rethink a tower.

I agree with acm--put drawers on the ends. Skip the tower--they're expensive and you have plenty of drawer space.

I agree with mayflowers--put drawers on the ends for some elbow room away from the wall. Skip the tower. You could use recessed decorative framed medicine cabinets with electric outlets for your toothbrushes etc.

There are many combinations of cabinetry you can use;

You can use a 18" drawer bank, 36" sink base, 21" drawer bank , 36" sink base and a 18" drawer base = 129" . OR use a 15" drawer bank, 36 sink base, 27" drawer bank, 36" sink base and a 15" drawer base =129". OR use a 21"drawer bank, 33" sink base, 21" drawer base, 33" sink base and a 21" drawer bank = 129".

Cabinets sizes increase or decrease in 3" increments you can adjust any of the examples above.

How about doing an ell-shaped design with either a window seat or a make-up station with kneehole along the window wall? Here are some very rough examples:

You'll want to put a lot of thought into the design. It concerns me that a cabinet maker with that much space to fill would use two small sink bases that push you against the wall and then devote all the rest of the leftover space to huge drawers. There are so many ways to design this and that was the easiest, cheapest design.

I'd prefer towers or linen cabinets on the ends rather than blocking the middle with a tower. I like the door/drawer configuration on the first one, though the sink bases need to be wider so the towers are farther from the sink. Notice that the cabinets are bumped out in both vanities to break up the long line of cabinets. It's better to bump out drawers than the sink base because you get a few inches of additional storage and you're not moving your face farther from the mirror as you would with a 24" deep sink base.

Or you can use a 21" deep sink base and push your drawer stacks back to 18" or 19" deep. This vanity has better lighting with three sconces.

I would draw all this up on graph paper so you can see how to best
place mirrors, sconces, and cabinets. It all needs to be planned
together so it fits perfectly and so there are no unpleasant surprises when the cabinets are installed.

I will be remodeling one of my bathrooms soon and I am looking forward to repositioning the sinks in my long vanity. I would love to ask the builder why he put one sink so close to the wall/doorway when there was plenty of room to move it further away.

You have room to do something like what I've sketched below. It adds up ro 126". You would could use an 1-1/2" of filler on each end to total the 129" that you have. You could also add electric outlets in some of the drawers for plugging in things like hairdryers, and electric razors.

Thank you all for such great ideas- badgergal- your drawing is very helpful and seems like it would be an easy fix. Thanks!

I agree with others above, to not put sinks so close to walls, because when leaning forward elbows need space.

How about this layout for cabinets.

with or without vessel sinks. By having 2 cabinets on far ends then sinks & drawers in middle. more space on sides then.

This is 94"+.

So, you could have 2 drawers in middle.

or wider drawers.

We have a long vanity as well. We're not really fans of towers; we prefer spacious counters. Plus a tower would block some of the light coming from our window. Here's our in-progress renovation (pardon the mess). We had a large mirror that was built in and would have been a pain to remove. We added moulding and, in lieu of sconces, added pendant lights to provide light at face level. The large mirror does bounce a lot of light, which would help if you have concern about the space feeling small or dark. Good luck!

When evaluating whether a tower is right for you, I would think about the items that are typically stored on your countertop and whether you would prefer if they were behind closed doors. We have his/her vanities, but between the two we had two electric toothbrushes (think cords), an alexa (another cord), my husband's docking station for his razor (another cord), a plug-in magnifying mirror (another cord), an i-phone charger, and some other stuff. With the new vanities, we both got towers, and I can't tell you how happy I am to have all that stuff stored away. Even though the new vanities have plenty of drawer/cabinet space, this isn't really the kind of stuff that goes in the drawers/lower cabinets.

It appears that your vanity is traditional because of the inset drawers and legs. Keep that in mind when you design. I personally like to bump out a section for that length vanity in a traditional design. Artistsharon shows another way to handle that. I personally would use a wider sink base for that length of wall, around 30", because the sink, mirror, and lighting are your focal points in a vanity, so I like to give it more prominence. Badgergal's design with all the cabinets uniform is a more contemporary look. With contemporary slab panel doors and drawer fronts, you want it to blend into a single-unit look, so a smaller sink base may be better.

I just ordered cabinets for a 60" vanity and used a 28" sink base and 16" side drawers. To my eye, a 27" sink base is too narrow for traditional cabinets in a 129" vanity. I know the storage argument but I really can't fathom why people need more drawer storage in their bathroom than I have in my kitchen.

Would love to see your finished vanity.
