Top Tips to Choose a Vanity to Suit Your Style

Choosing a vanity that suits your individual style involves considering several factors. Here are some top tips to help you choose a vanity that aligns with your style:

1.      Budget:

Determine your budget early in the process. This will help you narrow down your options and focus on choices that are both stylish and within your financial means.

 

2.      Define Your Style:

Identify your overall style preference. Do you prefer modern, traditional, rustic, contemporary, or eclectic styles? Knowing your style will guide your decision-making process.

 

3.      Materials and Finishes:

Choose materials and finishes that align with your style. For example, if you prefer a modern look, you might opt for sleek materials like woodgrain finish, clean lines.  For a more traditional feel, consider a shaker profile on your vanity.

 

4.      Colour Palette:

Select a vanity colour that complements or contrasts with the room’s colour palette. Ensure that the colour enhances the overall ambiance and creates a cohesive look.

 

5.      Size and Layout:

Consider the size of the vanity in relation to the available space. A large vanity might overpower a small room, while a small vanity might get lost in a spacious area. Additionally, think about the layout and how the vanity will fit into the overall flow of the room.

 

6.      Functionality:

Assess your storage needs and daily routines. Choose a vanity with the right amount of storage space and features that suit your daily grooming activities. This includes considering the number of drawers, shelves, and the presence of a mirror. Consider who will be using this space. Whether its guests, kids or your own ensuite.

 

7.      Lighting:

Consider the lighting around the vanity. Good lighting is essential for grooming, and the fixtures should harmonise with the vanity style. This could include wall sconces, pendant lights, under cabinet lighting or even integrated lighting in the mirror.

 

8.      Personal Touches:

Add personal touches such as accessories, decor items, or a unique piece of artwork that reflects your individual style and makes the space feel personalised.

 

Remember that the key is to find a balance between functionality and aesthetics that resonates with your personal style preferences. Don’t be afraid to mix and match elements to create a vanity that is uniquely yours.
