How to Choose the Right Bathroom Vanity

1. Figure out Your Budget

Before your start working on your bathroom, decide how much money you can spend on a bathroom vanity. There are a lot of variations in the market ranging from simple styles that are affordable to the luxurious ones with splendid details. Go for the one that suits your budget.

2. Keep in Mind Your Bathroom Needs

The bathroom vanity you choose should take into account the people who are using it and the type of things they will be using it for. If you have to share the bathroom in the morning with a lot of people, you may need a vanity with two sinks. If you need more storage, you might want a vanity with more cabinets and drawers.

3. Measure the Space Accurately

Bathroom vanities come in many different sizes but all of them will not fit in your space. Measure the dimension of your bathroom before making any final decision. Think about all the obstacles, the doors, and the walls and make sure there’s enough room to move comfortably.

4. Find Out Your Plumbing

Plumbing will most likely to be the part of your bathroom that dictates the place of your vanity. If you decide to go with the existing plumbing set up, it will help you to narrow down your vanity styles.

5. Decide How Much Storage You Want

Lack of storage is the common complaint that people have about their old bathrooms. Make sure you don’t forget your storage needs while shopping for your new vanity. Don’t buy the one that is too large for the space but also ensure you have enough space to store your products.

6. Determine the Style of Sink

There are many options available when it comes to choosing the sink style. Focus on the style of your home and the look of your bathroom for deciding the best sink style.

7. Remember the Faucet

The faucet is as important as the rest of your vanity so it also requires careful planning. Some vanities do not come with a faucet. So, don’t make a mistake of ordering wrong faucet type that does not fit on your vanity.

8. Prioritize Easy Cleaning

Always keep easy cleaning at the top of the list while choosing a bathroom vanity. Some vanities are known for being harder to clean because they have a lot of nooks and corners. Select the one that you can clean easily on regular basis.

9. Don’t Neglect the Mirror

Selecting the right mirror for your bathroom vanity can enhance the overall feel of the space. A good mirror style can be the right accent to complete the look of bathroom.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to your renovation questions

How much does a bathroom vanity cost in Kitchener in 2026?

A quality bathroom vanity in Kitchener typically runs from about $1,200 for a smaller stock unit to $4,000 or more for a larger custom build in solid maple with a quartz top, installation included. Kitchener-Waterloo pricing tends to sit slightly below comparable GTA shops. Material and size drive the number most. Our detailed bathroom vanity cost guide for Kitchener breaks down what each price tier gets you.

Should I choose a single or double vanity for my bathroom?

Choose a double vanity if two people share the bathroom during a busy morning and you have at least 60 inches of wall space; otherwise a single vanity leaves more room for storage and counter. The decision comes down to who uses the room and how much width you have. Measure first, then decide. Our guide on single vs. double vanities walks through the clearances and trade-offs.

What is the most durable material for a bathroom vanity?

Solid wood is the most durable vanity cabinet material, holding up to a bathroom's humidity far better than particle board, which swells and crumbles when it gets wet. Kitchen & Bath World builds every vanity from solid maple, with no MDF or particle board. Pair it with a quartz top for a surface that lasts decades. Our guide on solid wood vs. particle board vanities explains what lasts and why.

How do I measure my bathroom for a new vanity?

Measure the available width, depth, and height of the space, then mark the door swing, the plumbing location, and any clearance you need to move comfortably. Leave room so drawers and the bathroom door do not collide. Getting this right early prevents costly reorders. We confirm every dimension in a 3D design before building, so the vanity fits your space exactly. Start with a free design consultation.

How much storage do I really need in a bathroom vanity?

Plan for more storage than your current vanity offers, since lack of storage is the most common complaint about older bathrooms. Drawers generally beat doors for daily-use items because you can see and reach everything, while a mix of drawers and cabinets suits most households. Size it to the space without overcrowding the room. Our bathroom vanity storage ideas cover drawer, shelf, and organizer options.

Where can I buy a quality bathroom vanity near Waterloo or Cambridge?

For a quality, built-to-last vanity near Waterloo or Cambridge, look for a local showroom that builds in solid wood and lets you see the construction before buying. Kitchen & Bath World serves the whole region from 899 Victoria St N in Kitchener, designing each vanity in 3D and building it in solid maple.
