The bathroom vanity really is the centrepiece of the room so you want something that looks stylish and makes a real statement.  That’s why we’ve put together the latest trends in bathroom vanities, so you know what is hot right now, and into the future.

Trends in Bathroom Vanity Colours

When it comes to bathroom vanity colours, the classic white is still way on top for the doors and drawers.  However, the current trends are seeing people moving towards darker colours such as blacks and browns and for something different, you can even opt for a hot multi-coloured veneer!

Stone Benches are Hot Right Now

The classic beauty and elegance of natural stones such as granite and marble have never gone out of fashion but natural stone benchtops are becoming a huge trend.  These stone benchtops work exceptionally well with under counter mounted basins to create a clean yet stylish look.  Best of all, while stone is really is in fashion now; it also will never date if you pick classic colours.

Wall Hung Vanities are Proving Popular

The latest trends are now seeing people moving away from the traditional two door and three drawer floor mounted vanity.  Instead, they are moving towards wall hung vanities, which provide cleaner lines in the bathroom and also help to create the illusion of space. This is because you can see the floor underneath them, so you don’t have the vanity blocking the lines of the floor.

Functional Vanities Are Always On Trend

While you will naturally want a bathroom vanity that looks great, the trends are moving towards vanities that are incredibly functional as well.  This means that double vanities that allow two people to use it at the same time are still right on trend. However, the current trends are dictating that children’s bathrooms have a single vanity than can be shared.  As well, vanities are moving towards soft close door and drawer openers, so that they don’t slam shut.

Vanities as Furniture

One surprising trend that is emerging is the trend to convert antique cabinets and buffets into a unique and talked about bathroom vanity.  This can be risky as timber, and especially old timbers can find it hard to stand up to the rigours of the bathroom so bathroom manufacturers are jumping on the bandwagon and creating antique look vanities out of moisture resistant materials that are specifically designed for use in the bathroom.
