A wood vanity can do more than provide storage. It can warm up a palette of hard surfaces, introduce natural texture and set the tone for an entire bathroom. In the 10 spaces featured here, designers use wood vanities in a range of species, finishes and styles to create looks that feel fresh and inviting.

A long trough sink with dual faucets streamlines the marble-look countertop, while a marble mosaic backsplash adds texture and movement to the vanity wall.
