Bathroom Corner Vanities: Things to Know

Bathroom corner vanities can be a great space-saving solution for a home with limited square footage. Here are several things to keep in mind when considering purchasing one.

Space

A corner vanity can be a great way to add some storage space to a small bathroom, or one that has an irregular layout. They are small and convenient, but it's also important to remember that with a small vanity comes the problem of a small storage area. If you have a lot of items you’d like to store in the bathroom, you may also want to consider adding shelves or storage cabinets to the wall, if space permits.

Styles

Corner vanities are available in a wide range of styles and colors, but the choices won’t be as vast as with a traditional vanity. Usually showrooms will only have a handful of corner vanities on hand, and you may have to rely on catalogs and online shopping to find the right vanity for your bathroom.

Mirrors

Most people enjoy having a mirror or medicine cabinet above their vanity. Corner vanities can present a challenge when trying to hang a mirror or cabinet. Hanging cabinets in corners can be difficult. You’ll need to find one made for a corner, and the choices may be limited. Hanging just a mirror may be an option, but again, it will be a challenge to find one that works well.

If you have a small bathroom and are considering a corner vanity, make sure you shop around, ask lots of questions, and understand the dimensions you have to work with, and you will make out fine.
