Pedestal bathroom vanities are being used in an increasing number of bathrooms as a minimalist piece of the design. Pedestal vanities take up less space and, especially in half bathrooms or bathrooms that only have a toilet for your guests, this can open up the bathroom and make it more manageable for you or your guests. Instead of feeling that you can barely turn around, your guests will feel that they have room to breathe in a quaint bathroom.
However, as many homeowners have noticed, you have to be mindful of your bathroom design and how you want it to function before you decide on a pedestal vanity. Like any other vanity, if it does not properly fit into your bathroom design, it may leave a gaping space or worse. It may make it difficult for you to store everything that you need in an easily accessible area of your bathroom.
The good news is that there are easy ways to tell if a pedestal style vanity is right for you. It will vary and it may be right for one bathroom but not another. Here are a few of the things you can think about before you buy.
Determine How Much Storage You Need Before Buying Modern Pedestal Bathroom Vanities
The basic construction of modern pedestal bathroom vanities is simple. They include a sink, typically with a thin base that doesn’t take up too much room in your bathroom.
Depending on the style you are going for, a pedestal vanity may be wider, but they often take up as little room as possible.
If you have a small bathroom with a shower or tub though, storage may be more essential. If you are planning on using it for different things, you may need room to store things like your brush, toothbrush, and makeup. When you have to buy extra storage containers, they won’t always be as attractive as an all-in-one vanity would’ve been and it may make your bathroom seem significantly more crowded. Utility is key.
However, especially if you have a guest bathroom that does not have a shower or bathtub, you may not need the counter space or drawers. You may not mind having a soap container on the sink and with such limited space, every inch counts. There is no reason to have a full vanity, and a pedestal vanity can be stylish and functional.
There are some cases when vendors will try to add storage into a pedestal design, but it is generally limited and extremely uncommon.
Consider the Materials and Colors that You Want Before Investing in Pedestal Bathroom Vanities
The white pedestal bathroom vanity has become one of the most popular options. The crisp, clean look of a white vanity, especially in ceramic, is attractive and durable at the same time. Some homeowners consider it easier to keep clean, in part because of the limited space. However, depending on your color scheme, white may or may not be the right color for you.
Before you even start shopping, nail down your most basic requirements such as color. This will save you a significant amount of time and effort in finding exactly what you are looking for. In addition, it can save you a lot of confusion.
Things like taking the measurements of your bathroom to make sure that you get the right size, whatever you may buy, can prevent you from buying the wrong model and not finding out until it’s already too late. Pedestal vanities come in many different shapes and sizes, and it may or may not be right for you.
Will a White Pedestal Bathroom Vanity Fit Your Style?
You may have a certain style in mind. But it doesn’t always make sense with your bathroom, which is even true of a white pedestal bathroom vanity. Pedestal vanities often provide a vintage look with a modern edge that can be highly appealing.
However, it doesn’t always work out the way you imagine. If you need to bring in an independent party with more experience in design, then they can help you to identify your core theme and find pedestal sinks or vanities would fit into what you have right now or what you will have once you remodel your bathroom (in the near future).
The good news is that these vanities and sinks are typically very versatile.
Maintenance and Cleaning Can Be a Breeze with Modern Pedestal Bathroom Vanities
Because of their small size and often simplified designs, maintenance and cleaning can be a breeze with modern pedestal bathroom vanities. Depending on how much you use them, bathrooms collect bacteria.
The materials that most pedestal vanities are made of are smooth and clear. Some can camouflage grime and dirt buildup. With materials like ceramic, staining is not generally an issue. You will still need to wipe your pedestal sink down on a regular basis with a bathroom disinfectant. If you do though, it will only take you a few minutes and there is no reason for you not to be fully satisfied with the look and feel of your bathroom. Your visitors will notice the difference.
The deciding factor for some homeowners though is the cost of pedestal vanities. Because they are smaller in size, easier to ship, etc, they can often be more cost effective than bigger vanities. If you are on a tight budget and you have a bathroom that makes sense with this smaller sink, it may be the perfect solution for your needs.
