DIY Bathroom Vanity And Small Bathroom Vanities

By Darren Hartley


Turned into a stylish bathroom vanity with antique charm, a flea market cabinet is an prime example of a DIY bathroom vanity. The removal of the cabinet top by unscrewing it and disengaging it from the frame is the first step in this DIY exercise.

The next step to the creation of a DIY bathroom vanity involves the reinforcement of the frame with the use of an electric screwdriver. A long screw is placed in the center of the frame. After measuring the cabinet top, a sub-top out of plywood is cut and used as a replacement of the original top.

Using a hammer and a screwdriver, the cabinet back is removed. A piece of 2" x 4" board, cut to the height of the inside of the cabinet, is placed parallel to the original supporting beam. The new support beam is glued and screwed in the center front of the cabinet. This is done to allow room for the drawers and sink of the DIY bathroom vanity.

Finding the right small bathroom vanities that suit the style of a homeowner, overcomes the storage, decorating and design challenges presented by a small bathroom. They pave the way for the creation of a perfectly stylish small bathroom.

Classic and common among small bathroom vanities is the cabinet-style vanity. While their solid shape takes up most of the space, its built-in drawers and concealed compartments provide a generous serving of storage all in one place.

Small bathroom vanities, in the form of wall-mounted vanities, are attached only to the wall. They reveal an open space beneath that extends from the sink down to the floor. This floating design lends an airy ambiance to the room, very similar to what a pedestal or console sink provides. Depending on its specific design, wall mounted vanities may or may not provide added storage. A wall-mounted vanity consisting only of a countertop and sink provides no storage at all while a vanity featuring a short cabinet beneath provides a small amount of additional storage space.
