Adding a Vanity to Your Bathroom
Bathrooms get a lot of use and are subjected to a lot of water spills, so they wear out and become outdated before areas that aren't used as much. It is not always practical or essential to completely renovate a bathroom. Budget constraints may prevent substantial upgrades. However, merely replacing the vanity and flooring, as well as applying a fresh coat of paint, may enough.
Adding a New Vanity to a Bathroom
Because the bathroom vanity is one of the most worn-out components, replacing it with a new one can make a significant impact. There are internet furniture suppliers available for folks who don't like going to home improvement stores. Choose a site with a positive reputation and a favorable return and customer service policy. When you've selected the right vanity, ask for more photographs and details to make sure it'll fit in the bathroom you're remodeling. Unique Vanities offers a wide range of options that should satisfy the demands of most homeowners.
The following are important factors to consider.
The design style you select for your bathroom
Whether you require a single or double sink vanity, we can help.
The amount of area allocated for the vanity. It's aggravating to order a vanity only to discover that it's a few inches too big for the space when it comes. Before you go shopping, make sure you measure everything.
Taking accurate measurements and sketching the location of the plumbing pipes and the holes that will need to be drilled in the new vanity.
Putting together a budget for the vanity. Make care to include in sales taxes and delivery charges if applicable. You should factor in the expense of a plumber or carpenter to install the vanity.
Checking to see if the item is in stock and when it will be sent. Once the renovation begins, no one wants to wait weeks for a new vanity.
Enhancing an Existing Vanity
Refinishing an old vanity is an option for homeowners with a limited bathroom remodeling budget. However, the vanity should be of good quality and in good working order beneath the old finish.
Make sure the present vanity is clean and worth keeping.
Remove all hardware, faucets, and other fixtures. Remove the doors from the vanity after that.
All of the wood parts should be sanded to make them smooth and ready to paint. Allow to dry after wiping with a moist towel.
Choose an excellent primer and coat all of the vanity's wood parts with it.
Vanities should be painted with high-quality paint. Semi-gloss latex paint of good quality should suffice. It's a good idea to seek assistance from a paint store professional. Apply two coats of paint to the surface.
Choose whether or not to distress the edges before applying a non-yellowing, water-based polyurethane finish. If you use polyurethane, the paint will last longer.
To make the vanity look new and modern, reattach the doors and install new hardware and a new faucet set.
If this sounds like a lot of work, you don't like painting furniture, or you just don't have any furniture restoration experience, it's probably best to buy a new vanity and fittings.
Improving the Bathroom as a Whole
For modern requirements, that new or rebuilt vanity will require a new vanity top, which should be made of natural stone. To match the new vanity, the remainder of the bathroom will need to be updated. A fresh coat of paint can make a big difference. A new wallpaper on one or more walls might be eye-catching. Fresh towel racks and a new pair of soft towels are small details that make a great difference.
You don't have to replace the entire bathtub or shower, but a new shower head and faucets will give it a fresh look. To make the bathroom shimmer, get a new, larger bathroom mirror.
