Installing a second bathroom sink is not a very complicated project. All that is needed is the necessary space need to upgrade an existing bathroom vanity sink. Such a project is not too costly either. The cost that will be incurred would essentially center on the additional plumbing fixtures for the second bathroom sink, an amount that should be not more than the price for a single bathroom sink unit.

Choosing a design won’t also pose much of a problem. There is a wide selection of styles, materials and colors when it comes to double bathroom sinks available in shops or online stores. Choices can range from the modern designs to the antique themes. Some vanities revolving around the modern theme come out like sculptural renditions of floating sink bowls and cabinet shelves. It would be a joy to have these double vanities with faucets spilling cascades of water into the bowls much like waterfalls. Likewise a delight is having a double sink vanity of traditional design wherein the ornate woodwork of counter and cabinetry suggests fine but functional furniture. This functional feature is what makes double sink vanities of traditional design quite popular. Functionality, after all, always remains top of mind for most homemakers undertaking home improvement projects. These wise homeowners will never swap style for function such as having a bathroom sink faucet which is swanky but poses as an obstruction to users.

Upgrading a lavatory to a double vanity area has another success factor in the choice of lighting, mirrors and countertops. These elements can provide the major thematic considerations that could unify the entirety or wholeness of the design. Countertops, for instance, have to be well coordinated with the motif of the design. Hence, when bathroom remodeling, one must be careful whether to choose stainless steel, marble or granite as countertop material. Same goes for mirrors which should match the style of the double vanity. Purchasing the mirrors from the manufacturer where the vanity was sourced would make coordination of the design easy. Careful consideration for choice of lighting is likewise necessary. Typically, designers would opt for strip lights above the vanity area. Overhead lighting is sometimes inadequate for grooming tasks like hairstyling and shaving. One option to consider is installing pendant lights and sconces on both sides of the vanity.

Finally, a well-designed double sink bathroom vanity should take into account storage capability. Additional storage space underneath the fixture has to be maximized. Vanities with traditional design would have the advantage in this regard, as they come in furniture-like pieces that are larger with plenty of space underneath. This will contribute in making the double vanity a functional facility that will provide added value to homes for many years.
