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.
