Double Sink Bathroom Vanities:


A double-sink vanity is a practical feature for large families or for the families that are growing, or for a working couple whose morning routine would be vastly improved without the daily at a single sink. The extra plumbing and cabinetry for a second sink require space and it also helps to determine if your bath is a candidate for a second sink, chart out the room with a tape measure and graph paper, making a scale drawing of the space and all its fixtures so you can evaluate the possibilities. The easiest way to accommodate a second sink is to expand your existing vanity area with a maximum of 30 inches between the centers of the two basins so that a space is created. Separate traps and drains are usually required if the vanity contains a stack of full-length drawers between the basins, as the pipes are blocked by the drawer boxes.

Some features:
Adapting a piece of furniture like a farmhouse table or sideboard to serve as a vanity can have its limitations and it is also seen that in the photo at top, the two under mount sinks are set close together. There isn't a lot of countertop area and the level of the lavs is fixed by the height of the table to give a new design to the bath. The dark-stone countertops make these vanities feel like one, slanted stack of cherry-wood drawers offers some visual variety to the white-painted cabinets on either side and adds clever storage and if you find the room to add another sink without reconfiguring other fixtures, you have some other space concerns to deal with.

Making of the room:
If you're moving a toilet to make more room, there should be at least 15 inches from the center of toilet to a wall or cabinet so that there is no hassle in using the space. If this is done then one can leave room for the swing of the bathroom entry door, linen closet door or shower door. These are minimum measurements required by code; as always, check with the building department and one should always have a check on all these factors.
