Modern Ikea Bathroom Vanities

By Darren Hartley


Choosing the right modern bathroom vanities can make or break a bathroom design. The rest of the bathroom will suffer should the vanity be placed awkwardly in a traffic route, should poor or mismatched materials be used or should the storage facilities be insufficient.

The selection of a spot for adequate modern bathroom vanities should be one where they would not be messing with the traffic flow of the bathroom. It is also a spot where the vanity does not block either the bathroom door or the swing of the shower door.

The modern bathroom vanities should be surrounded by areas accessible for cleaning. The space around a vanity with doors should be adequate enough for foot traffic when the doors are open. The windows nearby the vanity should not prevent the placement of mirrors and wall cabinets above it.

Homeowners should take the other architectural bathroom features into account when deciding on a spot for the bathroom vanities Ikea. The vanity plays an integral role in the function of the bathroom and requires the space around it to function properly as well.

Should the installation of the bathroom vanities Ikea require a change in the plumbing of the bathroom, homeowners should expect to spend a chunk of the budget for the purpose. Even the switch from a traditional floor-mounted to a wall-mounted vanity would require a rerouting of pipes and drains.

Because bathroom vanities Ikea are placed in humid, wet and busy environments, the materials that make up the chosen vanities must be able to stand up to such environments. Wood veneers, laminates and thermo-foils are among the materials that tend to work well in bathrooms.

Homeowners should take into account what they truly use to help them decide how much storage they will need in their bathroom vanities Ikea. They can take an inventory of what they store in their current vanity. They should organize things by what they will need to have within reach and what they just need to have nearby.
