When it comes to choosing the right material, colors, and sinks (basins) for your bathroom vanitytop, there are options aplenty, so letâs check them out one by one.
Different Types of Bathroom Vanitytops (Based On Material)
It is a high-end, solid, and durable material. Granite is more expensive but also has a higher resale value. Compared to its competitors, granite is more scratch-resistant and stain resistant, as well as water and heat-resistant. Granite is low maintenance but needs adequate sealing to maintain the original shine. It gives an elegant and timeless look.
Engineered Quartz:
Quartz is an expensive purchase but gives a fancy look. It is a man-made, antibacterial, and durable material. Often stronger than granite. Non-porous quartz is stain and scratch-resistant, but not heat-resistant. Easy to clean, quartz never needs sealing.
Marble:
Marble is an economical and long-lasting material with high resale value. Scratch-resistant marbles are durable but stain resistant. They are unique and give a contemporary look. It needs sealing to provide a protective layer.
Various Styles Of Bathroom Vanitytop Basin
Integrated basin:
The sink is already built and integrated into the vanitytop surface, helping you avoid the hassle of installation.
Vessel basin: The sink is much smaller and is placed right above the vanitytop such that the bottom of the sink is aligned with the vanitytop surface. Typically, glass, metal, stone, or ceramics are used for making vessel basins. They look pretty elegant and sophisticated.
Trough basin:
The sink is long, rectangular, and built into the vanitytop surface.
Drop-in/self-rimming basin:
The sink can be easily installed above the vanitytop and can also be replaced without altering the vanitytop itself. How? Because in this case, the sink has a finished and rolled rim that drops in and keeps it in place.
How Do I Choose A Bathroom Vanitytop Colour?
Ideally, the color for the bathroom vanitytop should be chosen according to the overall theme and color scheme of the bathroom. Our suggestion is to use a bright-, light- or medium-toned countertop for a small bathroom and a dark-colored bathroom vanitytop for a big bathroom. Consider the lighting in the area too. However, the overall effect shouldnât be overwhelming or dull to ensure the right frame of mind for those using the bathroom.
Some of the most popular colors for bathroom vanitytop are blue, pink, pastel, black, grey, light yellow, gold, white and brown.
