How to Choose the Right Vanity Size for Your Bathroom

How to Choose the Right Vanity Size for Your Bathroom

What is the best size for your bathroom?

Vanity size affects more than whether it fits — it shapes how your whole bathroom feels and functions. Here's a simple way to think it through.

Start with your wall width. Measure the full available wall space, then subtract room for door swing, towel bars, or adjacent fixtures. Leave a few inches of breathing room on each side rather than maxing out the space.

Think about sink configuration. A 30" or 36" vanity typically suits a single sink in a powder room or secondary bath. 48" gives more counter space for a single sink with storage to spare. 60" is our largest single-sink option — ideal as a primary bathroom centrepiece with room for two people to share the counter, even without a double basin.

Don't forget storage needs. Larger vanities mean more drawers (our 60" Rosseau includes six soft-close BLUM LEGRABOX drawers), which matters if you're consolidating storage from elsewhere in the bathroom.

Check your plumbing rough-in. Especially important if you're not moving existing plumbing — confirm your drain and supply lines align with the vanity's sink placement.

Still torn between two sizes? When in doubt, sizing up slightly usually feels more intentional than sizing down.
