Unlike the basic box pattern of a typical vanity, bathroom sink vanity cabinets provide their own distinct look. In many cases, these cabinets are created to appear freestanding. This means they often sit slightly off the ground and tend to have decorator feet to add an extra touch of elegance to the design.

Most bathroom sink vanity cabinets that are freestanding are designed to mimic the look of a chest of drawers or other similar bedroom sink vanity cabinet creations. With this in mind, these bathroom sink vanity cabinets tend to also offer a few other features a regular pressed wood or laminate design does not.

Some bathroom vanity sink cabinets offer an actual wood design. Unlike laminate cabinets and counters, which can look awful with their seemed designs and "average" appearance, these bathroom vanity sink cabinets tend to be made from solid, real wood. This wood is treated, generally, to handle the moisture content of a bathroom, but it is still wood through and through.

Modern bathroom vanity sink cabinets offer more holistic design choices. Many bathroom vanity sink cabinets are designed with a full look in mind. This means everything from the cabinet itself to the recommended sink, counter, faucet and mirror work together to create a fully, completed look. The end result can be a bathroom that drips with elegance without a huge investment necessarily. Some bathroom vanity sink cabinets, for example, come with framed mirror attachments to complete the look of a beautiful wooden chest of drawers.
