When you're upgrading your bathroom, choosing the right vanity is one of the most important decisions that you’ll have to make in the room. Short of a luxurious soaking tub, it no doubt becomes the centerpiece of the room which you’ll build other fixtures and finishes around. Many folks believe a vanity is a vanity is a vanity...and that's simply not the case.

If you’re about to start designing (or redesigning) your bathroom, here are three handy tips for choosing the right vanity.

How To Choose The Perfect Vanity For Your Bathroom

What Can You Afford?

Make sure you have a budget in mind before you actually shop for your new vanity. It's super easy to do a little online research to find what types of material (and what size vanity) will be in your price range. For example, you can choose a luxury vanity that is chic and stylish (like these from NewBathroomStyle) or you can go for a lesser expensive style from big box home improvement stores. Try to find the best quality for your budget,

Your best bet: Vanities priced in the mid-range.

How Big Is The Room?

When choosing a vanity, keep in mind the size of the bathroom, because if you’re working with a small bathroom and you're considering a larger vanity, chances are you'll crowd the room. You need to consider the space you’ve got to work with: if your bathroom is quite small or if you're looking to remodel a powder room, you might not want to consider a vanity at all.

Your best bet: A pedestal sink.

What Kind Of Shower Will You Have?

If you're going for the gusto and remodeling the entire bathroom, then you may actually be able to fit a larger vanity into a smaller space simply by reconfiguring the room. If you’re considering a separate walk in shower instead of a larger tub, for example, you'll manage to squeeze a few more feet out of the room for larger fixtures or more storage space...or both.

Your best bet: Find a vanity that does double duty as form and function.
