bathroom vanity question

DH and I have started our addition and renovating one bathroom (we still have two bathrooms upstairs and the kitchen, and wood flooring and painting to do before the baby comes, so cross your fingers we get it done in 3 months).  My head is as messy as my house right now, so I was hoping to borrow your logic and get your opinion.

In the downstairs bathroom (will not be used often), we added a shower and square footage.  We have about 75" from the toilet to the wall for a vanity/wastebasket/linen cabinet/ bed bath and beyond type storage item.

Would you do a 60" vanity and wastebasket and call it a day or would you do a 36 or 48" and try to add a piece of storage furniture?  My brain is fried and while I think I could get better storage out of a linen cabinet, we are trying to save $ on this bathroom. Any pros/cons you could think of?

Re: bathroom vanity question

  • I would go with the larger vanity if it's a relatively small room -- I think it looks better in a small space to have one large piece than several smaller ones.

  • I think I would do the 48 and the storage cabinet. this is the set i went with. Ill tell you, I was SO scared to order this. But I LOVE it. Its gorg. It has a storage cabinet add on too. But I bought it from another store, shipping was way cheaper.

    Although, a large vanity like a 60" could be set up really nice. A nice counter top towel ring or mirror, a basket with guest towels and im sure it will have plenty of storage in that alone.
