Master Bath Vanity

3 years ago

We are replacing our master bath vanity (due to a water leak). The current vanity is 84”. Our contractor suggested looking at two smaller vanities vs one large. Just wondering advantages if two vs one?

    Unfortunately, with no picture, no drawing of the space, no location of walls, No drawing and dimensions and layout of the entire bath, where it is going, or where THEY would be going?

    Can't answer. Not enough info. Two 36 inch? Who knows?

    Lol..... sort of

    Look. It depends how far you are going. It depends does every other aspect of the bath work for you? The tub, the shower etc. Are you keeping floor and what do you want, long term? How long are you staying in the house, and what's the dream bath if you are doing that?

    See what I mean? Everything lives in a context of a whole...and absolutely nothing lives in isolation. Not the vanities in that bath, nor the bath within your home.: )

    It goes on from there to how you live, the layout, do you need more storage, use the bath at the same time each morning and evening......etc!!!

    This is my personal opinion, but when I see two separate vanities sitting right next to each other, I always feel like that was a cheap solution - even if it probably cost more to do it. I'd prefer to see a long vanity. You could even do a 72" vanity that is finished on the sides.

    I don't know why you would install two where there used to be one. How would he fix the floor in between, or are you removing the existing tile and replacing it? Maybe he's got an inexpensive source for 36" vanities? We have always gotten our vanities (have remodeled four full baths at this point) from a local kitchen cabinet manufacturer. With 84" of space you can put together two or three different base cabinets to configure them however you prefer. After the counter is installed they are one seemless whole. It hasn't been very expensive to do it this way, either. You may need to do some research yourself if your builder isn't creative.

    Good advice above - I would say only consider 2 if you’re re-doing the floor (not saying that’s the best idea just that the floor matters)

    Thank you all so much! We are replacing the flooring with a waterproof laminate. We plan on being in this home less than 5 years-we aren’t looking to do an entire remodel. (I would love to replace tub and shower tile but due to cost and length of time we will be here-I can’t justify it.) I love the idea of configuring different bases. I also like the idea of 72” with finish on both sides.

    If you are only going to be there 5 years and you are not changing the tile around the tub, I would just get another 84 inch vanity and not replace the tile floor that also has the tile on the tub surround.
