- Drawers are more useful than doors in most bathrooms
- Quartz is low maintenance, marble needs more care
- Choose faucet holes before you choose the top
A vanity is the busiest furniture in the house. These are the choices that matter most.
Size and fit
Measure the wall, the door swing and where the plumbing comes out. Allow room to stand and to open drawers. The vanity should fit the room, not the other way around.
Storage that you will use
Drawers let you see everything and reach the back. Doors are fine for tall items. Plan one spot for hair tools with an outlet nearby.
Choose the top
Quartz is tough and low maintenance. Granite and marble have natural pattern but need more care. Solid surface can include a molded sink for easy cleaning.
Sink and faucet
Undermount sinks are easy to wipe. Vessel sinks are a statement but sit higher. Choose the faucet before the top is cut so the holes match.

Common questions
Should I choose a stock or custom vanity?
Stock works well when sizes fit. Custom makes sense for odd spaces or when you want a specific look.
Is marble a bad idea for a vanity?
Not if you love it and are happy to care for it. It can stain and etch. Quartz that looks like marble is an easy alternative.
