The purpose of adding a [...]]]> It has been proven that one of the upgrades that gives the most value to a home is an improvement in the bathroom. One upgrade that can be reasonably priced and easily done is adding a bathroom vanity. There are a variety of styles of vanities in many finishes and sizes.

The purpose of adding a bathroom vanity to replace a sink is to give work or counter space and to add storage space below while concealing the pipe structure that is under the existing sink. The basic one sink vanity can come in two or three pieces. First is the cabinet and secondly either a counter top with a separate sink or a sink integrated into the counter top.

The first step that you will need to do is to measure the space where you wish to add the bathroom vanity. If you are fortunate to have a large space to work in you may choose to upgrade to a double sink and vanity at this time. There are also small, compact versions of vanities that will fit in a smaller bathroom space.

If the space in your bathroom is limited and the vanity must be up against the bathtub you will want to choose a material that is water proof, or put a water proof surround up to keep the water from the tub away from the vanity cabinet. When the existing sink is  across from the tub it is easier to  add a vanity without making extra  changes to the structure of the room or adding a new surround to the tub or shower.

Adding a vanity to your bathroom adds value, storage and a finished look. Vanities are available in wood or composite materials or even glass and metal. Adding a vanity to your bathroom is an upgrade that a homeowner can easily accomplish for a reasonable investment.
