Understanding the Components of a Bathroom Vanity

A bathroom vanity typically consists of a basin (or sink) and a cabinet that houses plumbing and provides storage. The design, material, and configuration of these components can vary widely, influencing both functionality and style.

The Basin

The basin is the focal point of any bathroom vanity. It comes in various materials, shapes, and installation types.

Types of Basins

  1. Countertop Basins: These are placed on top of the counter and are often seen in modern, luxurious bathrooms. They are available in materials like ceramic, glass, stone, and even metal.

  2. Undermount Basins: Installed below the counter, these basins offer a sleek, clean look and are easy to clean as there are no exposed edges.

  3. Wall-mounted Basins: Perfect for small bathrooms, these basins save space and provide a minimalist look.

Pedestal Basins: Standing on their own, these basins can add a vintage charm to your bathroom.
