Wall Mounted Bathroom Vanities – Not Just For Looks
Wall mounted bathroom vanities are the perfect fixture for a modern styled bathroom. They're sleek and simplistic,
minimally designed and just the right amount of unconventional without looking weird. But some people might shy
away from a wall mounted vanity thinking that, because they're smaller than conventional bathroom vanities, they
won't have enough storage space for every day use. But modern wall mounted bathroom vanities are designed
intelligently to make the most of the space they have, and can actually offer more usable storage space than your
average bathroom vanity.

Abba 36 Inch Wall Mounted Vanity From The Wyndham Collection

That's all well and good to say, you might be thinking, but how is that possible? It's simple. Many traditional
bathroom vanities, especially single vanities, have a counter top and sink resting on top of a squarish cabinet full
of big, open storage space to accommodate the sink's plumbing. The problem is, those cabinets are so large and
often so unorganized (very few even have shelves inside) that you end up only storing your largest items on the
bottom, leaving a lot of empty, unusable space above. Wall mounted bathroom vanities like this Abba Vanity from
the Wyndham Collection immediately eliminate that problem by nixing the height and bringing the stuff you're
storing up to a usable level.

Christine Wall Mount Single Sink Vanity From Design Element

Raising your storage space off floor level is important in two ways: first, you won't have to bend or dig around in a
large, unorganized space to find your hair dryer every morning because none of your stuff will be far below waist
level. As well, because many wall mounted bathroom vanities, like this Christine Vanity from Design Element,
have pull out drawers rather than cabinets, it's easier to use all of the space since you'll be able to see the stuff
that would have been hidden in the back of a regular cabinet.

35 Inch Pull Out Wall Mount Vanity From Vigo Industries

Many larger wall mounted vanities, like this Pull Out Vanity from Vigo Industries, even give you space that
ordinary bathroom vanities would have sectioned off to accommodate the plumbing. Instead of discarding all the

usable storage space around your sink's drain pipe, vanities like this one craft a drawer around it, utilizing all the
space underneath the counter and offering a nice, sleek, sectioned drawer.

Springfield 55 Inch Wall Mounted Bathroom Vanity From Design Element

Wall mounted bathroom vanities are often very smart about counter space as well as cabinet space. This
Springfield Vanity staggers rather than centers the sink, both offering more usable counter space for things like a
toothbrush holder, soap dish, or hand towel, and offsetting the plumbing so the drawers on the righthand side are
full sized and more usable.

31 Inch Moderna Trio Single Bathroom Vanity From Vigo Industries

This is true for smaller wall mounted vanities, like this Moderna Trio, as well. The vanity is a slim, trim 31" wide,

definitely at the smaller end for a single vanity, but the ever so slightly offset sink manages to make some much
needed counter space. As well, you get one slim (slightly plumbing-obstructed) cabinet for your hairspray and
other tall bottles, and two totally normal-sized, totally-unobstructed drawers, which is something very few
conventional vanities have, and which is really like a dream come true for storing all your smaller, frequently used
items, from toothpaste tubes to hair ties or razors.

Compact Modular Wall Mounted Vanity From Silkroad Exclusive

As well, because most wall mounted bathroom vanities are done in a modern style, they're often also modular in
style, and are part of extensive modular vanity collections designed to help you maximize your storage within your
own unique space. Vanities like this Compact Modular Vanity have an incredibly small footprint on their own, but
come with slim, matching wall mounted storage cabinets, mirrors, and medicine cabinets in the same finish and
style so you can make the most of your wall space. The best part is, they're designed not to protrude very far, so
you can add storage without crowding your bathroom.

A modular design also allows you to get a little creative with your layout. Because the pieces can fit together
however you want them to, you can really completely customize your space, both in terms of where or how you
hang your wall mounted bathroom vanities and storage cupboards and what pieces you use (or don't) in the first
place. With this Modular Vanity from Silkroad Exclusive, you can actually add on pieces as you need them, and
go for a perfectly symmetrical or totally asymmetrical look.

Asymmetrical Wall Mounted Bathroom Vanity From Bellaterra Home

You can even double up on smaller, single wall mounted bathroom vanities to get the effect of a double vanity
without closing off your whole bathroom with a big, hulking unit. This is especially nice for smaller or oddly shaped
master baths, where you want two sinks but might not necessarily be able to put them right next to each other. I
actually prefer this way, because each vanity, like this Asymmetrical Vanity from Bellaterra Home, is designed to
be simple, compact, and completely self contained, so you and your sweetie will never have to fight over shared
drawer space again.

44 Inch Walnut Wall Mounted Bathroom Vanity From Vigo Industries

One of the less obvious advantages of this is that if you happen to be very short or very tall - or are sharing a
bathroom with someone who is (or worse, one of you're one, and the other is the other!) - finding a bathroom
vanity that's the right height for either of you (let alone both) can be a little difficult. Wall mounted bathroom
vanities like this Walnut Vanity solve this problem outright - just hang one at his height, and one at hers, for a
vanity that's perfectly customizable no matter what your height. This also makes them a great choice for people
who have physical handicaps or limited mobility.

V-Metal Wall Mount For A Vanity Top From Xylem

Finally, wall mounted bathroom vanities just plain look cool. As they say, necessity is the mother of invention, and
having a smaller space to work with forces designers of wall mounted bathroom vanities to get a little creative with
their layout. I particularly love this V-Metal Vanity from Xylem - it's actually literally just a metal mounting bracket
to rest a vanity top, but it has a great shelf for storage, a built in towel rack... and an awesome industrial chic that

you'd never find in a traditional bathroom vanity. So if you love the look of wall mounted bathroom vanities, rest
assured that you'll still like them even after you realize you need to find somewhere to stow your toothpaste! What
