My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Help - vanity dilemma

2 years ago

36” off the shelf vanity installed in third bath. The vanity has a design detail on both sides and seems to be meant to be freestanding. GC installed the vanity 3.5 inches from the right wall. Seems to me like an odd amount for gap. Do I - move the vanity to the wall; or move it to left couple of inches so that I could clean
in the area; or leave where it is since its line with a knee wall; or buy a cabinet filler and use that to fill the gap. The vanity runs to the floor.

    Yes to sliding it over.



    I wsn’t involved in this decision. This space is so hard to clean and can't be used

    for anything.

    Live and learn.



    When doing the above bathroom in my Florida home I made sure to get a vanity that had equal space on either side to hold trash can and toilet brush and be easy to clean.

    Can we see more of the room? At this point I’d say move to the left, not toward the wall.
