Immediately after construction, mulch color is important, but permanent dyes in mulch are not important if the plants are expected to fill in within a year or two.

Cosmic Black granite is shown in this project! Search the specific granite name, see more granite or other stone options: http://www.stoneaction.com Learn more about granite to see if it’s right for you: Granite countertops can last a lifetime. It contains no harmful chemicals and do not emit harmful radiation or gasses. Granite is heat resistant and is one of the most heat-resistant countertops on the market. You can place a hot pan out of the oven directly onto the countertop surface. Experts do recommend the use of a trivet when using appliances that emit heat for long periods of time, such as crockpots. Since the material is so dense, there is a small possibility heating one area of the top and not the entire thing, could cause the countertop to crack. Granite is scratch resistant. You can cut on it, but it will dull your knives! Granite scores a seven on Moh’s hardness scale. Granite countertops are considered to be a low maintenance countertop surface. The likelihood of needing to be repaired or resurfaced is low. Granite is a porous material. Most fabricators will apply a sealer to granite countertops before they are installed which will protect them from absorbing liquids too quickly. Many sealers last more than 10 years before needing to be reapplied. When they do need to be reapplied, it is something that most homeowners can do on their own as the process is similar to cleaning. Darker granites are very dense and sometimes don’t even require a sealer. When it comes to pricing, there are a lot of variables such as edge profile, total square footage, backsplash, etc. Don’t be fooled by the stereotype that all granite is expensive. Lower-range granites will cost less than high-range laminate. Though granite countertops are not considered “low range” in pricing, there are a lot of affordable options. If you are looking for something truly unique, consider an exotic granite. Some quarries are not easily accessible and/or only able to be quarried for short periods of time throughout the year. If these circumstances exist in a quarry with gorgeous stone, the price will be driven upward You won’t find a lot of solid patterns or bright colors, but both do exist. Also, watch for a large range of color and pattern within the same color of stone. It’s always a good idea to view the exact slab(s) that will be fabricated for your kitchen to make sure they are what you expected to see from the sample. Another factor is that many exotic types of granite have huge flowing waves, and a small sample will not be an accurate representation of the whole slab. Granite countertops are very resistant to chemicals. Acids and bases will not harm the material.

Inspiration for a mediterranean dark wood floor entryway remodel in Austin with white walls and a glass front door

From the beginning, I envisioned creating a clean, white palette for the overall look of the apartment, but I also wanted to create some beautiful, unexpected surprises through blocks of color. On the master bedroom wall behind the bed, I installed a vibrant turquoise green silk wallpaper. The color evokes the green waters of la Ciénaga Grande de Santa Marta (Spanish for Large Marsh of Santa Marta) in Colombia, where the black and white Leo Matíz photograph “Pavo Real del Mar” hanging over the bed was taken more than 60 years ago. I saw a smaller version of the photograph for the first time in a gallery in Chelsea, NY. Photography by Diego Alejandro Design, LLC

ZED transformed the space, creating a fresh new look and greatly increasing its functionality to accommodate an expanding family within an urban setting. Improvement were made to the aesthetics, scale, and functionality for the growing family to enjoy. Photos by Eric Roth. Construction by Ralph S. Osmond Company. Green architecture by ZeroEnergy Design.

Maple Plywood custom cabinetry painted a beautiful grey with a stunning chandelier and brass hardware accents. The upper cabinets all enclosed behind solid panel doors to keep things clean and organized.

  Morning routines shouldn’t involve a traffic jam at the sink. The 2025 Houzz Bathroom Trends Study found that 65 percent of U.S. renovators now choose a double-sink vanity to skip the wait. Designers agree: Titan Builders dubbed 2025 “the year of bigger, storage-packed double vanities,” forecasting dual-basin setups in family, guest, and even powder baths. As KBIS 2025 launches land, prototypes for 2026 layer in spa-grade wood, built-in outlets, and planet-friendly finishes. In this guide, we rank six standout models and show you how to size, install, and enjoy a clutter-free, two-sink future.   Methodology and selection criteria   A well-planned double-sink vanity keeps busy morning routines calm and clutter-free.   Before we crowned any winners, we mapped the entire 2024–2026 double-sink (dual-basin) market. That meant parsing KBIS exhibitor releases, scraping bestseller lists from Home Depot, Lowe’s, and Wayfair, and reviewing designer short lists in trade magazines. The sweep produced 110 candidate vanities, giving us visibility into every style, price tier, and material in play.   We then scored each model against six weighted factors that continue to matter long after installers leave:  

1. Build quality – 25 percent.Solid hardwood frames, dovetail drawers, and furniture-grade plywood backs, never particleboard in disguise.  
2. Design versatility – 20 percent.Lines and finishes that suit modern, classic, or farmhouse baths without dating quickly.  
3. Sustainability – 15 percent.FSC-certified wood, CARB 2 compliance, and low-VOC finishes for healthier air.  
4. Storage efficiency – 15 percent.Deep drawers, tilt-outs, or power cubbies that corral countertop clutter.  
5. Value for money – 15 percent.Fair street price for the materials, stone tops, sinks, and soft-close hardware included.  
6. Brand reputation and warranty – 10 percent.Manufacturers with responsive support and at least a one-year parts guarantee.

  Three hard gates kept the field honest: each finalist had to ship in North America by early 2026, include a countertop plus two sinks, and hold a minimum four-star user rating. We also filtered out mass-produced MDF boxes and pay-to-play “editor’s picks” in favor of furniture-grade builds with transparent spec sheets. Double-sink listings on Willowbathandvanity.com spell out hardwood or birch-and-plywood construction, specify when MDF and pressboard are not used, and list dovetail drawer boxes, soft-close hardware, and downloadable spec drawings, the kind of detail that made it easier to confirm build quality and layout before shortlisting a model.   After the cuts, six vanities remained, each leading a different use case: luxury showpiece, budget hero, small-bath savior, tech lover’s pick, farmhouse favorite, or bold-color newcomer. The following sections explain why each model earned its spot and where it may have trade-offs, helping you buy with confidence.   Best overall: Willow “Charlotte” 72-inch solid-teak double vanity   The Willow “Charlotte” 72-inch solid-teak double vanity blends heirloom warmth with a durable marble top and deep storage.   Imagine yacht-grade teak refashioned into bathroom furniture; that is Willow’s Charlotte. Stretching 72 × 22 inches (183 × 56 cm), the cabinet feels built-in yet warms the room with genuine wood grain. Every panel and drawer front is solid teak, not veneer, so the wood’s natural oils resist humidity while MDF competitors swell and peel. Willow sources its teak from FSC-certified plantations and finishes it with low-VOC sealers, earning points for durability and indoor-air health.   Open a drawer and you notice commercial-grade heft: dovetail joinery, full-extension soft-close glides, and storage tall enough for a 10-inch (25 cm) hairspray can. Two under-sink bays flank four center drawers, and the factory-installed 1-inch Carrara marble top arrives pre-drilled for 8-inch widespread faucets, eliminating stone-shop delays. Need plumbing diagrams or alternative countertop choices? Check out Willow Bath and Vanity for downloadable spec drawings, finish upgrades, and matching teak mirrors before you order.   Key specs

• Footprint: 72 W × 22 D × 36 H in. (183 × 56 × 91 cm)
• Crated weight: 506 lb / 230 kg
• Street price: about $2,575 with marble top and basins, Q4 2025  

  Reality check: at a quarter ton, Charlotte requires a two-person lift or pro delivery, and marble benefits from yearly sealing. Treat it well and expect decades of service. For a dual-basin centerpiece that blends heirloom character with commercial-grade build, Charlotte sets the benchmark.   Best budget buy: Spring Mill “Emlyn” 60-inch double vanity   Spring Mill’s Emlyn vanity delivers double-sink convenience, a shallow profile and turnkey under-$800 pricing for tight hall baths.   When you want dual-basin convenience without draining the budget, Emlyn delivers. The 60.5 × 18.75 × 32.9 in. cabinet (154 × 48 × 84 cm) arrives fully assembled with its top attached and usually lists between $700 and $800 online. That price is roughly one-third of most mid-tier doubles, a welcome break when tile, plumbing, and lighting costs stack up.   Spring Mill controls costs with painted MDF sides and a laminate backer, yet the finish still feels designer: Admiral Blue or Pearl Gray over Shaker doors, finished with a seamless cultured-marble top. One integrated slab means no grout lines and no undermount rims to caulk.   The trim 18.75-in. (48-cm) depth fits hall baths where standard 22-in. units block door swings. Storage stays simple but useful: two under-sink cabinets plus a pair of full-extension drawers for brushes, toothpaste, and floss.   Treat Emlyn gently and expect five to seven years of service, perfect for rentals, flips, or a stopgap remodel. A quick silicone bead along the back edge stops splash creep, and felt pads prevent metal bins from scratching the resin surface.   Installation suits a single Saturday. Level the feet, connect two 4-in. centerset faucets, and move on to paint touch-ups; no stone-shop scheduling or custom templates required. Dollar for dollar, Emlyn delivers more visual impact than any budget vanity in our test group.   Best for small spaces: Allen + Roth “Haverhill” 48-inch weathered-oak double vanity   Allen + Roth’s Haverhill vanity squeezes dual sinks and barn-door storage into a space-friendly 48-inch footprint.   Small bathroom, big wish list? Haverhill packs dual-basin convenience into a 48 × 22 × 34.8 in. frame (122 × 56 × 88 cm) without feeling cramped. Its signature move is a sliding barn-style center door that glides sideways, preserving clearance in tight rooms.   The cabinet uses a plywood core wrapped in hand-distressed oak veneer, finished in a soft weathered gray that pairs with matte-black or brushed-nickel fixtures. A pre-sealed black engineered-stone top shrugs off splash marks; a quick wipe keeps it spotless.   Storage surprises: two under-sink bays plus three full-extension drawers provide soft-close hardware and a rock-solid feel.   Trade-offs: basins sit close, so elbows can bump, and the dark top highlights toothpaste specks; keep a microfiber cloth handy. For condos, kids’ Jack-and-Jill baths, or any remodel where walls refuse to move, Haverhill delivers two sinks in the footprint of one.   Quick specs

• Footprint: 48 W × 22 D in. (122 × 56 cm)
• Height: 34.8 in. (88 cm) with backsplash
• Sliding barn door plus 3 drawers
• Pre-drilled 8-in. faucet spacing, sinks included

  Best smart vanity: OVE Decors “Tahoe III” 60-inch midnight-blue double vanity Tired of cord clutter? Tahoe III fixes it. Each top drawer holds a UL-listed power bar with four outlets and two USB ports, so razors, toothbrushes, and hair tools stay plugged in yet out of sight.     Tahoe III tucks power outlets and grooming tools into the top drawer, keeping the double-sink countertop blissfully clear.   Built with solid-wood rails and furniture-grade plywood, the cabinet wears a velvety midnight-blue lacquer and a 1.25-in. (3 cm) sealed quartz top that shrugs off spills. Interior organizers sort cotton pads and clippers, while a heat-safe holster stores a hair dryer.   An integrated junction box connects to a nearby GFCI in minutes. Soft-close drawers, adjustable shelves, and full-extension glides complete the premium feel.   Quick specs

• Footprint: 60 W × 21 D × 34 H in. (152 × 53 × 86 cm)
• Integrated power: 4 AC + 2 USB, UL-listed
• Crated weight: 300 lb / 136 kg
• Street price: about $2,349 at Home Depot, Q4 2025  

  Factor in professional delivery and install, and reviews still praise the “zero-countertop-clutter” payoff. For households running on devices, Tahoe III pairs dual-basin style with built-in smarts.   Best modern farmhouse: Water Creation “Paisley” 72-inch rustic-sienna double vanity   Water Creation’s Paisley vanity brings warm Rustic Sienna wood and apron-front basins to a modern farmhouse bath.   Farmhouse rooms often rely on painted shiplap, while Paisley flips the script with warm hardwood in a Rustic Sienna stain, topped by crisp Carrara marble and two apron-front basins for equal parts country charm and boutique-hotel polish.   Built from solid birch and oak with undermount soft-close glides, the 72 × 22 × 34 in. cabinet (183 × 56 × 86 cm) leaves space for perfume on the left, a beard trimmer on the right, and still provides breathing room. Three center drawers keep razors separate from hair ties, while each under-sink bay includes an adjustable shelf for tall bottles. Oil-rubbed bronze pulls ship standard, and the 8-32 screw pattern works with most aftermarket knobs.   Marble benefits from a yearly sealer and quick wipe-downs, and it rewards care with timeless style. The vanity arrives fully assembled; crate weight sits near 380 lb / 172 kg, so confirm doorway widths and recruit lifting help. Street price averaged $2,299 at Home Depot in late 2025.   Quick specs

• Footprint: 72 W × 22 D in. (183 × 56 cm)
• Height: 34 in. (86 cm) plus 4 in. backsplash
• Counter: 1 in. Carrara marble, apron-front sinks included
• Hardware: oil-rubbed bronze, soft-close doors and drawers  

  For remodels inspired by barn doors, patterned cement tile, or reclaimed wood accents, Paisley anchors the look and delivers long-term durability.   Best statement color: Kohler “Tone” 60-inch double vanity (2026 preview)   Kohler’s upcoming Tone vanity brings hotel-inspired color and a waterfall quartz top to double-sink baths.   After a decade of white and gray, rich color returns, and Kohler’s upcoming Tone vanity moves it into the mainstream. Slated for Spring 2026, according to product managers at the KBIS 2025 press briefing, the collection wraps a Shaker shell in hotel-inspired finishes: Forest Green, Deep Terracotta, and Midnight Teal.   Design touches match the drama. Brushed-gold pulls, a waterfall quartz top that folds over both sides, and razor-thin 3 mm door reveals create a tailored look. Beneath the lacquer, a solid-poplar frame and furniture-grade plywood mirror the proven Kohler Jute recipe, so strength keeps pace with style.   Inside, adjustable dividers, a bamboo organizer tray, and soft-close hardware rated for 50,000 cycles control clutter. Engineers also added a slim power bank behind the top drawer for charging shavers or phones. Shipped in two main pieces (base and top), Tone can navigate stairs more easily than fully assembled units.   Quick preview specs*

• Footprint: 60 W × 22 D × 34 H in. (152 × 56 × 86 cm)
• Construction: solid poplar and plywood, waterfall quartz top
• Integrated slim power bank, soft-close doors and drawers
• Target price: just under $2,300 with top and basins

Tahoe III stands alone. Looking for heirloom durability? Charlotte’s solid teak leads the pack. Use the grid for quick elimination, then check the detailed reviews; warranty, service quality, and installation quirks often decide the final pick.   Buying guide: how to pick the right double vanity Measure first, mood-board later. A comfortable dual-basin vanity requires at least 60 in. (152 cm) of wall, plus a few extra inches so doors and drawers clear. In narrow baths, depth becomes the deal breaker. Units measuring 21 in. (53 cm) or less keep morning traffic moving.     Use at least 60 inches of wall, a shallow depth in narrow baths and 30 inches of clear floor space in front of your double-sink vanity.   Plumbing reality check. Converting a single to a double adds a second drain and tees off the hot- and cold-water lines. Floor-exit pipes favor a back panel you can notch, while wall-mounted vanities depend on in-wall supplies and solid blocking for support.   Materials equal lifespan. Solid hardwood and furniture-grade plywood shrug off steam, whereas particleboard swells. If budget points to MDF, seal every raw edge with caulk on day one; the barrier can add several extra years.   Storage style vs. plumbing clutter. Drawers keep makeup and chargers tidy but steal space where P-traps sit. Cabinets swallow tall bottles yet turn into black holes unless you add rollout trays. Many households choose a hybrid: drawers in the center, doors beneath each sink.   Top talk. Marble feels luxe but benefits from annual sealing. Quartz costs a bit more yet laughs at self-tanner and curling-iron heat. Seamless cultured-marble tops lower cost and simplify cleaning, though they scratch more easily.   Accessibility and clearance. Maintain at least 30 in. (760 mm) of clear floor space in front of the vanity to satisfy ADA guidelines and allow two people to bend without bumping hips. ADA also requires floating units to offer 27 in. (685 mm) of knee space for wheelchair users.   Last, vet the brand. A vanity proves its worth when a company can overnight replacement hinges after a move. Established manufacturers publish part numbers and answer the phone, peace of mind worth a small premium.

Example of a mountain style bathroom design in Other with flat-panel cabinets, dark wood cabinets and an integrated sink

The Mazama house is located in the Methow Valley of Washington State, a secluded mountain valley on the eastern edge of the North Cascades, about 200 miles northeast of Seattle. The house has been carefully placed in a copse of trees at the easterly end of a large meadow. Two major building volumes indicate the house organization. A grounded 2-story bedroom wing anchors a raised living pavilion that is lifted off the ground by a series of exposed steel columns. Seen from the access road, the large meadow in front of the house continues right under the main living space, making the living pavilion into a kind of bridge structure spanning over the meadow grass, with the house touching the ground lightly on six steel columns. The raised floor level provides enhanced views as well as keeping the main living level well above the 3-4 feet of winter snow accumulation that is typical for the upper Methow Valley. To further emphasize the idea of lightness, the exposed wood structure of the living pavilion roof changes pitch along its length, so the roof warps upward at each end. The interior exposed wood beams appear like an unfolding fan as the roof pitch changes. The main interior bearing columns are steel with a tapered “V”-shape, recalling the lightness of a dancer. The house reflects the continuing FINNE investigation into the idea of crafted modernism, with cast bronze inserts at the front door, variegated laser-cut steel railing panels, a curvilinear cast-glass kitchen counter, waterjet-cut aluminum light fixtures, and many custom furniture pieces. The house interior has been designed to be completely integral with the exterior. The living pavilion contains more than twelve pieces of custom furniture and lighting, creating a totality of the designed environment that recalls the idea of Gesamtkunstverk, as seen in the work of Josef Hoffman and the Viennese Secessionist movement in the early 20th century. The house has been designed from the start as a sustainable structure, with 40% higher insulation values than required by code, radiant concrete slab heating, efficient natural ventilation, large amounts of natural lighting, water-conserving plumbing fixtures, and locally sourced materials. Windows have high-performance LowE insulated glazing and are equipped with concealed shades. A radiant hydronic heat system with exposed concrete floors allows lower operating temperatures and higher occupant comfort levels. The concrete slabs conserve heat and provide great warmth and comfort for the feet. Deep roof overhangs, built-in shades and high operating clerestory windows are used to reduce heat gain in summer months. During the winter, the lower sun angle is able to penetrate into living spaces and passively warm the exposed concrete floor. Low VOC paints and stains have been used throughout the house. The high level of craft evident in the house reflects another key principle of sustainable design: build it well and make it last for many years! Photo by Benjamin Benschneider

This darling young family of four recently moved to a beautiful home over looking La Jolla Shores. They wanted a home that represented their simple and sophisticated style that would still function as a livable space for their children. We incorporated a subtle nautical concept to blend with the location and dramatic color and texture contrasts to show off the architecture. Photo cred: Chipper Hatter: www.chipperhatter.com
