Building a Beautiful Bathroom with Vanities and Linen Cabinets
Homeowners interested in remodeling their bathrooms may want to consider using one of the many beautiful bath vanities available on the market today instead of installing a traditional built-in cabinet and sink fixture. A bath vanity is a freestanding unit, usually consisting of an individual full cabinet, a sink bowl and a faucet, but these pieces are styled like freestanding furniture. Antique and traditional style vanities are most popular, but modern and transitional pieces are available in a wide array of styles to fit any bathroom decor.
A bath vanity offers quite a few benefits over a traditional built-in sink and cabinet fixture. First, the vanity is purchased as a completed piece, and all that remains to be done in installation is connecting the drain and faucet to the correct bathroom pipes. The counter top is fitted and polished; the cabinet doors are correctly hung and the sink bowl is set perfectly into the piece. These fixtures are also more beautiful and high-end looking than a standard linen cabinet.
Bath vanities come in two main styles. The first is a full piece of furniture and features matching legs to hold the cabinet and counter top up. The second style is often a better fit for modern bathrooms, as it is attached to the wall and consists of a hanging counter top and sink feature. These have a free-floating look that is great for small bathrooms where space is at a premium.
Linen cabinets are another wonderful addition to any bathroom. Only a few modern bathrooms feature a built-in linen closet, but nothing compares to the ease of having all of the bath linens and towels in the bathroom and close at hand and nice teak bathroom accessories. Linen cabinets also come in a wide range of styles, from sleek black or white minimalist towers to wide and short Shaker style wooden pieces. By choosing beautiful and stylish bathroom features, you can build an oasis that fits your personal taste.
