A bathroom vanity is not only functional in and of itself but it can also be used to enhance the look and feel of a bathroom. Bathroom vanities can be traced to the beginning of civilisation where ancient societies such as the Egyptians and the Greeks were known to use them both for practical and aesthetic purposes. While they were previously the preserve of those in the upper echelons of society, they have become more affordable and accessible to a large proportion of the population.

Just like other pieces of home furniture, bathroom vanities come in a variety of designs and styles ranging from traditional to contemporary to country. A bathroom vanity in the category of traditional design will most likely have a dark wood grain finish while sporting carved metal details evoking a sense of grandeur and elegance. A bathroom vanity in the category of contemporary design has a sleek appearance sporting a smooth finish with clean lines and an open style in what is essentially a minimalistic design. A bathroom vanity classified under the country design category has a relaxed, almost casual look. It will most likely resemble the architecture of the countryside in France.

Bathroom vanities come sporting a variety of features and it is up to the buyer to decide what they want the bathroom vanity for. Some vanities come equipped with a jewellery armoire, a stool, a mirror and so on. A bathroom sink vanity could also be shipped with a marble top. Bathroom sinks with a marble top have the advantage of being resistant to staining and scratching or chipping.
