Buying Antique Bathroom Vanities

So you are looking to renovate your home. The bathroom is a great spot to focus on. It is often the only room that needs to be jazzed up once in a while. You are likely contemplating a series of possible styles, and we can venture a guess that a new bathroom usually means a completely new vanity. True, it will be new and sophisticated, but here is the catch: One of the hottest ways of transforming your bathroom is by giving it a classic touch with an antique bathroom vanity.

Who says classic is old and outdated? Believe it or not, antiques are treasures, in every sense of the term. They are unparalleled, inimitable segments of history you fortunately can make a part of your home (if you so choose). Anyone inclined towards the Victorian aesthetic will be glad to find out that you need not rifle through any overstocked attic for a genuine relic from Queen Vic’s own collection. Rather, antique bathroom vanities are available for your viewing and purchasing pleasure, both in numerous brick-and-mortar stores and at any highly-reputed furniture shop conveniently located online. Therein lays a somewhat popular notion that in order to acquire a top-notch specimen of an antique bathroom vanity, you are required to spend a fortune. Pshaw is what we say to that!  Today’s top-grade furniture manufacturers have the sophisticated tools and techniques that work to apply classic textures and patterns to modern, environmentally-safe and durable materials and thus create stunning antique bath vanities in the image of those used by the royalty of yore.
 France, Italy, Spain, Britain, colonial America—you name it, antique bath vanities fit right in. Here are a few bits of designer decadence, which you can relish at a high discount price online. The secret to antique bathroom vanities’ unwavering success undeniably stems from the finesse of balancing a classic formula with updated techniques and materials; namely, an antique bath vanity incorporates the cabinet (sometimes complete with an additional storage shelf, in a manner of a console), a countertop (typically stone, granite, cultured marble, or natural wood), a ceramic or copper sink with a brass faucet, and a mirror (often framed)… The beauty of this template is that while it gives you an idea of the components to include in your set, you can easily custom-select either of these items, in any shape or size you see fit. Also, getting back to the balance between the “then” and the “now”, you can opt for budget-friendly alternatives to wood (MDF or plywood, for example).
 Antique bathroom vanities are exquisite restored pieces that fit in seamlessly with today’s décor. The fixtures are intended to fulfill the needs for functionality (i.e. plentiful storage), practicality (smart use of space by being available in several sizes), and aesthetic appeal (most notably in the hand-crafted details on the façade). What is also great about buying antique bathroom vanities from us is the fact that you can custom-select your fixture, either as fully assembled or with countertops and sinks sold separately. Top picks for both include marble, granite, and porcelain. Metal (copper or brushed nickel) is among the favorites for antique vanity pedestal sinks. You see, owning an antique vanity does not make you old-fashioned. Fashion-forward is more like it!
