Vanity Countertop: Some Things You Need to Know

Countertop, Bathroom-Chispa MagazineWhether you are remodeling your bathroom or building a space from scratch, one of the most important things that you should not ignore is the vanity countertop. In most bathrooms, this functional space serves as the centerpiece, which is why it is critical to pay attention to its overall design.

Sink as the Most Important Element
There is perhaps nothing that is more important than a sink. If you want to achieve a modern look, I suggest that you opt for freestanding sinks from Badeloft instead of the traditional sink design. This type of sink is known not only for being stylish, but also for being easy to install. You just mount it on the top of the vanity counter and deal with the appropriate plumbing.

For a selection of freestanding sinks that will suit different needs and preferences, do not forget to visit Badeloft and see what the company has to offer.

Choose the Right Material
Another critical consideration would be the main material at which the countertop will be made of. When choosing a material, go beyond style. More than aesthetics, look for a material that will be easy in terms of care and maintenance. See to it that the countertop will retain in its peak condition even after several years.

Some of the most common materials for vanity countertops include granite, marble, laminate, tile, and wood. The overall look that you wish to achieve will have an influence on the material of choice. Granite and marble are two of the well-loved materials because of their elegant appeal. Wood is great for a rustic charm but be sure that it is non-porous since it can be easily damaged by water.

Pay Attention to Lighting
Lighting the bathroom is an important functional consideration, and this includes the lighting for the vanity countertop. An overhead lighting is a must-have, which should be placed at the right height in such a way that the user can clearly see his or her face. The use cross lighting with sconces will also be great, especially if you want to add a decorative touch to the vanity. LED lamps are the best choices. See to it that the Kelvin color temperature stays at a range of $2700 to $3000 so that the skin tone will stay true.

Pair it with the Right Mirror
The mirror that you will use is another thing that will have an impact on the overall style of your vanity. The right mirror should complement the layout and style of the bathroom. When choosing a mirror, the size should be proportionate to the size of the vanity and the bathroom. Go frameless if you want a minimal look. Framed mirror, on the other hand, will be good for a classical or rustic style. If you have multiple sinks, go for multiple mirrors as well.

In sum, if you want to have a vanity counter in the bathroom, pay attention to the things that have been mentioned above. From the sink to the lighting, it is important to emphasize all the important elements of a well-designed bathroom vanity.
