Do you want to make your bathroom more inviting? What’s more memorable? These bathroom vanity ideas can transform your entire bathroom.

ShelfGenie understands how to keep a bathroom organized and beautiful. However, if you are limited in space (perhaps especially if you are limited in space), making beautiful changes does not have to be difficult or costly.

In recent years, bathroom vanities have come a long way. There’s no reason to have a drab bathroom when there are so many exciting design options available – it’s time to stand out from the crowd.

To begin, consider repurposing old dressers or bureaus as the sink vanity base. Perhaps you’d like to go with concrete vanity counters paired with a cast iron or classic porcelain sink. Consider a backsplash made of stacked stone or hand-painted ceramic tiles. Finally, if you’re feeling especially daring, install track lighting behind your vanity or mirror.

The possibilities are limitless and entirely dependent on your personal style and available space. Are you interested in learning more about some intriguing bathroom vanity ideas?

1. The Simply-Spa Feel

Bienal Vanity Bathroom

The sturdy base for this minimalist approach to modern bathroom vanities is a simple mounted wood shelf or laminate. The standing tub is complemented by dual white porcelain basins above. The floor shelf-step design is truly masterful in that it provides shelf space without cluttering the room.

Above all, mounting the faucet fixtures to the wall saves space. While it may appear complicated, updating your fixtures is simple, inexpensive, and beautiful.

2. Table Bathroom Vanities

What could be easier than repurposing a table for this elegant bathroom vanity design? Surface sinks, such as those shown above, are available in blown glass, composite stone, hand painted ceramic, and other unusual designs. Wrought iron light fixtures stand out against the natural surroundings.

This style is ideal for mountain chalets or vacation cottages. (Or giving you the impression that you’re in one.)

3. Manhattan Minimalism: The Shelf Vanity

Modern bathroom vanity ideas that are stylish, minimalist, and affordable—the perfect trifecta.

A long mounted mirror and a red accent wall round out this stylish, modern design.

4. Drawer Bathroom Vanities

The use of standard drawers as a bathroom vanity option adds a simple, functional elegance. Once interior designers learned the art of customizing dresser drawers—like the floating, wall-mounted set featured above—bathroom vanities have never been the same.

7. Traditional Glamour: Bureau Vanities

Bienal Vanity Bathroom

This elegant bathroom vanity set was made by repurposing a long dresser bureau, painting it, and then adding a custom marble countertop to house the inset sink. It has plenty of drawers and counter space, as well as framed mirrors above for a classic Victorian look. Keep in mind that the counters can also be made of sealed wood.

If you like this design, ShelfGenie can customize glide-out drawers for ease of access and to prevent drawers from becoming stuck.

8. Earthy & Affordable Bathroom Vanity Idea

This earthy bathroom vanity idea is not only simple and lovely, but it is also very affordable.

9. Geometric Elegance

This sanded wood bathroom vanity set features a simple geometric design concept that exudes elegance. The floating mounted vanity cube and framed mirror can be made from wood or laminate particle board, while the matching countertop and sink basin complement the natural beauty of the wood.

10. Attic-Space Bathroom Vanity Options

Here’s a bathroom vanity design idea that’s ideal for half-baths or small attics. The combination of natural tones and white accessories creates the illusion of space. Using traditional elements—for example, a trough sink, a suspended mirror above, a floating wood shelf unit below, and a suspended mirror above—the small space becomes highly efficient and stylish.

11. Track Lighting Magic

Track lighting, in this case, adds magic and mood to even the most basic design concepts. This vanity set has white-tiled walls as well as a traditional white ceramic pedestal sink.

LED lighting allows you to change colors based on your mood. As an added bonus, it works well as a nightlight.
