Bathroom vanities can do a great deal to update the look of the lavatory, but many people do not give much thought to this room in the home. It is common to just throw some storage bins in or pile everything onto a shoddy shelving unit. But with a space saving single vanity or dual purpose double vanity, any home dweller can easily turn their bathroom into a functional and fashionable space with an elegant focal point.

The sizes of bathrooms can range dramatically depending on the type of home you live in, the floor plan and even what part of the country you reside in. Just because you have a small bathroom doesn't mean you have to cram everything in the small space without any regard for aesthetic appeal though. There are many bathroom vanities that are designed to adjust to almost any space and floor plan.

One of the most popular types of single vanity on the market right now saves plenty of space by hanging on the wall. These bathroom vanities leave more room to breathe as they are literally attached to the wall, typically with the sink and countertop above and a series of drawers underneath. Mirrors and shelves can also be hung onto the wall above or beside the vanity to complete the look and provide additional storage.

The double vanity is typically not thought of as a space saving option, but with many home designers shifting to smaller bathrooms there have been more double-sink designs on the market that only use a minimal amount of floor space. There are even double vanity wall hanging units, which are just slightly wider than the single-sink designs with all the same convenient features. All of these bathroom vanities leave plenty of room to move around and still provide all the storage you need to hide all the ugly clutter.
