Single or double sink
A single sink vanity suits most baths up to about 48 inches of wall. It leaves more counter space and only needs one set of plumbing. Double sink vanities start around 60 inches and make sense for a shared primary bath, where two people get ready at the same time.
The bathroom vanities here run from 24 inch powder room cabinets up to 84 inch double vanities.
Measuring the wall and plumbing
Measure the wall width, then allow at least 15 inches from the center of each sink to a side wall or toilet, and about 30 inches of clear floor in front. Most vanities here stand 34.5 inches tall and 21 inches deep without the top.
Check where the water supply and drain come out of the wall. Many cabinets have an open back to make plumbing easier.
Solid wood shaker cabinets
Most of the range is Riley & Higgs shaker cabinetry with solid wood doors and furniture-grade plywood and birch cabinet boxes. Doors hang on soft-close adjustable hinges, and drawers use solid wood dovetail boxes on soft-close glides.
Finishes include white, antique white, toffee, hickory, espresso, navy blue, sage green and gray, so it's easy to match flooring or tile.
Vanity only or complete set
Many vanities are sold as the cabinet only, so you can choose your own countertop, sink and faucet. On these, the top drawer is a false front that leaves room for a drop-in or undermount sink.
Combo sets add a countertop with an undermount ceramic sink, a backsplash and pre-drilled holes for an 8 inch widespread faucet. Each listing states exactly what's included.
Drawers left, right or both
On single sink vanities, you can often choose whether the drawer stack sits on the left or the right. Put the drawers on the side away from the toilet so they're easy to open.
Matching drawer bases and full height door bases add storage beside a vanity, so a long wall can become one built-in run of cabinets.
If you're choosing between two widths, take the smaller one when the door or toilet would otherwise feel tight. A few inches of open floor matter more than a few inches of counter.
Assembly and the finishing pieces
Shaker cabinets ship flat-packed as ready-to-assemble units, with the doors already attached, while some sets arrive fully assembled. Plan a day for assembly, or have your contractor handle it with the install.
Finish the space with bathroom sinks and mirrors sized to the vanity, and smart toilets for a full remodel. See the bath range for tubs and fixtures.
