3 Ways To Style a Bathroom Vanity

Your bathroom vanity is an essential space in your home. While the sink is the spot for morning routines and nighttime prep, the vanity cabinets and drawers are the storage center for your bath essentials. It's where form meets function.
It’s also one of the easiest areas to update so that your bathroom can reflect your personal style.

The right vanity, paired with the right lighting, bath accessories and decor, allows you to update your bathroom vanity's style with ease. Using one versatile vanity as the main ingredient, this guide shows you how to swap out a few decor pieces to create three different style statements.

Accessories for Your Bathroom Vanity

Think of your bath vanity as a great canvas. Whether you leave it as-is, and simply change up the accessories around it to match your style, or go all out with a full vanity makeover, is up to you.

Here are few things to keep in mind:

• Switching out hardware to update your bath vanity style is a quick and relatively inexpensive change to make.
• Keep the rest of your home decor style in mind when styling your bath vanity to avoid a mashup of styles that just doesn’t work for you.
• If you want to update your bath with an all-new vanity, be sure to measure the space. Your ability to purchase a double vanity or stick to a single sink vanity will depend on the size of your bathroom.
• Consider whether you want a vanity with a matching mirror or if you'd like to mix up styles by using a mirror in a complementary design.

If you like to switch out bath decor often, a vanity with classic door styles and clean lines will be your best bet in terms of styling in many ways.

Make it Modern


A modern look incorporates the latest trends and styles into your bathroom. Choose hardware, faucets and accents such as a mirror and towel holder in the same metallic finish. Add a neutral backsplash created from classic penny tile. Select accessories in an of-the-moment color such as peach that can be changed out when you're ready for a quick refresh.

Go Global

Create a global-inspired bathroom by painting walls a deep ochre and then complementing the warm color scheme with accessories in monochromatic shades of grey, black and white. For example, a sleek soap dish and toothbrush holder fashioned from metal, wood or stone lend a nod to global decor. Hang towels in soft, solid colors towels and add abstract wall art to complement the global look.
