Choosing a Bathroom Vanity

When selecting a bathroom vanity, you’ll want to start by measuring the dimensions of your existing vanity. If you are replacing it with an identical one, simply measure the width, length, and depth of the vanity and look for an equal size. However, if you are remodeling, you now have the opportunity to select the size of your vanity! For larger bathrooms, 48” or 60” wide vanities provide more storage and are typically set up for two separate sinks. For smaller bathrooms, freestanding or single basin vanities in the 30” to 36” range are more common. If measuring your bathroom seems overwhelming give us a call or set up a video chat with one of our design professionals. We are happy to guide you through the process every step of the way.

Tips for Measuring Your Bathroom Space

Before purchasing your new bathroom vanity cabinets, it is essential to measure the space accurately.

Pay attention to the location of your plumbing, as this may be a deciding factor on the overall width of your bathroom vanity.

Be sure to account for existing features or planned upgrades, such as mirrors, switches, and wall outlets.

Leave space to account for your shower and doorways.

If you plan to buy a vanity with a top, make sure it is at least 1” wider and 1” longer than the cabinet base.

Accurately measuring the bathroom space will help you get the most out of your bath vanity cabinets. If you need help measuring your bathroom Lily Ann Cabinets can help you with their Lily Tape!

Assembly type:
Depending on the assembly type, metal hardware may be visible or hidden. We offer two types of assembly: metal clip and dovetail. The metal clip is very durable but leaves some metal hardware visible, while our proprietary dovetail assembly creates a tougher cabinet and takes unsightly metal hardware out of the equation. As the majority of our cabinetry is assembled with dovetail assembly, you can rest assured knowing that your quality cabinets will stay intact. All of our premium bathroom cabinetry come with soft closing doors and drawers as well.

Bathroom Cabinet Drawers and Box Construction

At Lily Ann Cabinets, we take pride in offering top-of-the-line bathroom cabinets that are both durable and beautiful. To ensure that our cabinets last a lifetime, we use 1⁄2” furniture grade plywood for all of our drawer and box construction.

Our drawers and boxes feature high-grade dovetail construction, providing enhanced stability, added durability, and smooth action when opening and closing. The wood components are pre-assembled at our facility and shipped to your home ready to be installed. Each cabinet drawer has full-extension glides, allowing you to access items stored all the way in the back of the drawer with ease. Our undermount soft-closing drawers and doors provide additional convenience and protection to your cabinet system.
