As much as we all dream of a sprawling vanity with infinite drawers and counter space, some bathrooms can only accommodate a pint-sized option.
If you're working with a small bathroom, you don't have to settle for a boring pedestal sink—there are so many vanities out there that are perfect for small spaces.
For anyone searching for a small bathroom vanity that still makes a big style impact (and even houses some storage, too), we compiled some of our favorites. They span different styles, finishes, and sizes to find just the right squeeze for your teeny-but-mighty bathroom.
Best Less Than 19”
Are you working with an ultra-compact bathroom that’s short on space? We have the solution for you. These under-19” options are slender, sleek, and small enough to be placed in any tight space.
Best Less Than 20”
Upping the size to 20” affords more options for vanities, including some with storage. These picks fall into several style categories and are sure to fit every space.
Best Less Than 24”
When working with a space that’s 24”, you’ll have a healthy space for a vanity that holds drawers, cabinets, or shelves. If you’re looking for added storage or just a pretty piece to complete your powder room, these are great options.
Best Freestanding Options
If you have the wiggle room, a freestanding vanity is a gorgeous option to finish off your room. We researched and discovered these highly-rated vanities to suit your bathroom design style.
Best Mounted Options
Sometimes, floor space is just too precious to waste. These mounted vanities hang right on your wall to free up crucial space in your small bathroom—and look good doing it.
Best Corner Units
Some bathrooms have funky layouts, it happens. But that doesn’t mean you have to compromise on style to make it work. These small corner vanities fit snuggly into those awkward spaces.
How We Picked Small Vanities
We looked for small bathroom vanities in a range of styles and colors. We tried to mix bright and bold colors (blues, golds, greens) and neutrals (white, black, grey, beige).
Floating shelves are a popular space-saving option, but if you want something that you can place right into a small half bath, we found tall and skinny options, too. We also made sure to include a range of prices.
What to Look for in a Small Bathroom Vanity
Material
First, pay attention to the cabinet and the top materials. Cabinets are usually made from manufactured or solid wood. Manufactured wood is less expensive and often lighter, but it's not as durable and can be difficult to clean.
The countertop material is just as important to check as the cabinet—if not more so, since you want it to be waterproof, durable, and look good. Make sure your bathroom counter material is non-porous to avoid damage from spills and splashes—especially if you're making your own bathroom cleaner.
Measurements
It's not just the bathroom footprint that's important to consider when choosing a vanity. Check the faucet opening to prevent delays in installation. Take note that not all vanities are the same height, so have an ideal height in mind when shopping that will work for all members of your household—it's awkward to have to bend over a lot to turn on the sink or wash your face.
Storage Features
Some of the space under your sink will be taken up by plumbing, so if you need additional bathroom storage, look for options with drawers, shelves, or side cabinets to maximize your storage space. Even for small powder room vanities, you will likely want room under the sink for an extra roll or two of toilet paper and a refill of hand soap.
