Using a Bathroom Vanity to Give Your Bathroom Some Personality

By Giovanni Zidan

Redecorating your bathroom can be a difficult task because it may seem very frustrating when you start trying to decide where to start. After all, looking around a normal bathroom it may seem hard because you cannot do anything with the toilet, sink, and shower, which in essence are the furniture you have. This is not to discourage you, but to make you realize then, that you have to take extra care when changing what you can. One of these items that can make all the difference is the bathroom vanity.

A bathroom vanity is essential in your bathroom because people see it when you enter and exit the bathroom. Your guests use the sink before they exit the room so they also focus on the stylish mirror. The mirror is part of the vanity set because you cleanse your hands while also checking if your make up still looks fresh and your hair is still in place.

The attention that needs to be brought to the guests when they enter the room isn't drawn to the bathroom vanity it is drawn to the expected mirror positioned over the sink. Since the importance of your mirror is crucial, you need to make sure that it fits into your theme and giving off the value that you expect in your bathroom design. If the centerpiece of your bathroom stands out, the rest of the room will also.

For instance you might choose to go with a typical wooden framed bathroom vanity that matches up with everything else in your bathroom. To make it even more special, you might choose a mirror that has detail within the woodwork so that there is more of a spark to your mirror than just the glass. Actually, you can even get gold or silver etching on the glass to match your fixtures so that the mirror brings out the already present flare in the bathroom.

If you are craving those bold colors the ever popular under water design would definitely fit into your bathroom. There are brightly colored shower curtains and even vinyl wall or sponge tub decorations of bright fish and other sea creatures. You could also add a silver framed mirror. If you're really drawn into customizing your new bathroom design, then you can even order a neat and interesting fish shaped mirror that will show just exactly how committed you are to the underwater theme. If you are using such drastic pieces to make the vanity stand out from everything else it will come as a surprise when your guests come into your new bathroom for the very first time.

The sink, shower, and toilet are permanent fixtures. The other two large components to designing your bathroom are the bathroom vanity and mirror. By showing your creative side when choosing your vanity and mirror, they reflect all throughout the room in your customized theme.

Finally, you can always just go online and choose a custom bathroom vanity that is completely off the wall to create your own theme. After all, it is not often you walk into a restroom and see a fish mirror while you wash your hands, and that will certainly help you to create a bathroom theme that your guests will never forget. With so many choices, the only worry you should have is what mirror you will choose.
