Space and Functionality: Is a Double Vanity Worth the Cost?

It’s not uncommon for homeowners to remodel their bathrooms before putting their property on the market.  After all, the bathroom is the smallest yet one of the most widely used parts of a typical home.

Given the constraints on the amount of space, many wonder if they really need to add a double vanity.  Depending on your goals, the short answer is yes, particularly if you want to maximize the resale value of your home and have enough added space.  LuxStone™ of Colorado, one of the state’s top shower replacement companies, elaborates further below.

Functional Appeal

More often than not, you’ll find the majority of prospective buyers are either young couples or growing families.  Having two bathroom sinks would be especially appealing to this demographic, as a double vanity can help shorten bathroom wait times.

Visual Appeal

With the right kind of materials, a double vanity can also enhance your bathroom’s visual appeal.   We’ve listed below some design suggestions:

1. Rustic Double Vanity With a Wide Mirror – A large wooden vanity with two narrow sinks would be a great addition to a rustic bathroom.  Add a full-width mirror to make the bathroom look more spacious.

2. Classic Brown and White Double Vanity With a Frameless Mirror – A rustic bathroom has a unique charm, but it may be too old-fashioned for younger couples.  Going with a classic look would be a safer bet.  To achieve this, you can go for a raised chocolate-brown vanity with a white countertop that contrasts nicely with pure white walls.  Add a frameless window and you can give your bathroom a clean, classic look.

What If You Don’t Have Enough Bathroom Space?

As a rule of thumb, your bathroom needs to be at least average-sized to accommodate a double vanity.  If you don’t have enough space and there aren’t many people living in your house, you can consider adding a different bathroom feature instead.  You can ask one of your local shower remodeling companies to find out which features they’d recommend based on your needs and available space.

Just make sure the remodeler you’ll hire is qualified, someone with much experience you can harness to get the results you’re looking for.
