What color vanities for my beach rental bathrooms.

3 years ago
last modified: 3 years ago

I was going to have wall mounted vanities made but in an effort to save some money I thought I'd see if any vanities from Costco might work. They come complete with counter, and sinks... and are on sale right now! The taupe and white are Kohler.

Do any appeal to you?

    Any of them would work. The tan one has a beachy look.

    I usually wouldn't choose gray, but the other colors don't look like they would work in the blue shower bath. It's hard to tell from a picture whether that white is the right shade of white for the floor. It might be OK, but then you might have to paint the walls if it clashes with that white. The light wood colored one also may or may not work with the floor. To me it looks like a miss, but it's so hard to determine from a picture. The blue one isn't the same color as the tile in the blue shower (which I love), so probably a miss there. However, the bath with the white shower could take the blue vanity. It's a hard decision when you can't see a sample door next to what is already installed. Are they returnable? Seems like it would be difficult to return them due to their size.

    Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it. Three of them will be 36" so it will be fairly easy to return. The 72" in the one blue bath will be difficult since it weighs 400lbs. I've added a couple more options and some labels so I don't get confused.

    I'd stay away from the gray, the others look good.

    Blue1 could be a problem in bath1. Note that some don't have toekicks. Those might get scuffed.

    I like the tan the best. Hands down.

    I'd definitely go with natural wood in the second bathroom. Not sure on the blue tile bathroom, the tile is so gorgeous, you want to complement it, but I'm not sure how.

    I wouldn’t pick shaker doors with those modern tiles. Houzz has some flat panel floating vanities for sale…

    Stylistically I don't think they stand up to the other finishes. They look like they are off the rack from Costco.

    There's nothing the matter with that in and of itself and I have done projects for people where they would be considered high style, because the bathroom has other modest finishes. The Kohler ones are probably high quality, too, They just look kind of non-committal for your bathrooms

    I would go with the light wood stained one. You said this is a rental. While it would be great to think you will always have careful guests, the fact is they won't be as careful as you would be. The stained wood will hold up better and be easier to touch up.

    Love the Tile!

    Good luck

    Definitely go with something more modern / MCM to match the floor and tile (great choices by the way), but that doesn’t mean you have to go custom. I like dark blue in the bath with gray tile for a pop of color and the light wood (”tan”) next to the green. Walnut would work in both too, and walnut MCM style should be easy to find.

    Your tile is gorgeous and I agree these don’t measure up (sorry!) have you tried sites like Wayfair?

    also - if you find something you like on Houzz or Wayfair or pretty much any site that doesn’t manufacture like Ikea, do a Google image search. You can often find the exact same piece for less.

    That shower is beautiful what fantastic tile. For this I agree with the others you have a very contemporary space I do like the style of the ikea vanity’s but I do not care for the slinky drain system. Getting vanities is really hard right now so much is out of stock. You can’t find anyone to do the work. It’s just a mess. Btw I’d steer clear of the blue choices I think they compete with the shower. The color is not cohesive.

    Keep looking. If you’re determined to use these, the white or taupe may work with your blue, but finding something more perfect is also an option. The tile is so pretty, you need to make sure the rest of the room works with it.

    For the smaller room, the gray gives a little depth to the colors. White always works there too.

    I agree you should not rush this decision. Wayfair and Overstock use Chinese manufacturers for their dressers and vanities and they are low quality. Even for a rental, you want things that last.

    I decided to have custom cabinets made after all. I received some laminate samples in the mail. Combined with the LVP floors there just seems to be too much plastic! I'm thinking scaling it back and maybe just use the white wood-texture laminate for the sides and trim and just take my chances with the durability of real horizontal grain walnut doors. I've photoshopped the concept into the bathrooms... still working on the kitchen. The kitchen would be the same but all the upper cabinets would be the white laminate material as well.

    What do you all think? Beachy enough?




    Strictly trying to nail the material, the drawers and door placement come next.

    I'd actually like to see something lacquered in a color from the tiles.

    Really beautiful, I think it's so well done you will enjoy it till it wears out, very timeless. Good job!

    @palimpsest I would like that too but these are rentals and although high end, I think I need to do something more durable and less likely to be damaged by careless tenants and maids. Putting real wood is kind of a gamble but honestly it is begging for something natural in there. @jjaazzy Thanks!

    Of course I've found a great synthetic wood that will likely cost a fortune. Actually I don't know how much yet but the millworks company was raving about its durability. They put the embossed and registered vinyl sheet and edge piece on the particle board and then use a laser to seal all the edges. It's a german company called Rehau. Anyone familiar with the brand?
