The Bathroom Vanity is the Centerpiece

By Alex Zidan

Believe it or not, the number one most important item in your restroom is the bathroom vanity. Intrigued yet? Actually, to clear matters up a little, it is the number one most important decorative item in your restroom, because there is no way to get around debating the merit of the toilet in usefulness.

The bathroom is going to be a place that will be seen by your guests without someone distracting them with any type of conversation so they will pay attention to detail. You need to remember that the vanity is counted as a decoration in your bathroom so you will make a decision on choosing the proper style so it matches not just your bathroom but also the remainder of your home.

When designing your restroom you should remember it is the room that attracts the most traffic in the entire home. Knowing that your bathroom will be drawing a lot of attention when they walk in, will help you make sure that the bathroom design is just right. You also need to take note that it all starts with the vanity mirror which catches everyone's eyes when they are in your new bathroom.

If the vanity is incorrect size then the layout of the entire bathroom will be off balance so when choosing a decorative mirror that is positioned over the vanity without any problems. The basic idea in figuring out what size your mirror needs to be, which can be made by measuring the sink. There is no reason to overpower the vanity or the mirror this why balance is important when design your bathroom.

For example, if your bathroom has a wooden bathroom, you might consider bringing out the natural wood accents and creating a warm comfortable restroom area by choosing a bathroom vanity that has a stained wooden frame to match. The frame will help bring out the wood around the bathroom that your guests may otherwise miss, and will give you an instant theme to work with.

Bathroom design is a subject that is discussed every minute of the day. It starts when you walk into your bathroom and try to decide if you need to change something that might make it stand out more. When using a wood theme, you can add wood towel racks to either side of your stained bathroom vanity mirror. When you are working with a wood theme you could always add some rich tones such as reds, greens or tans. When adding natural tones to your bathroom it helps if your theme is visible to your guests. If any towel racks are being added to the room be sure that they have matching stain just like the rest of the restroom.

If you continue to match the items in your bathroom with the wood on your bathroom vanity and the towel colors, you will quickly watch the room start to come together. To further accent the room, you may choose either silver or gold etching on the glasswork of the vanity depending on what color your fixtures are.
