25 Small Bathroom Vanity Ideas That Stand Out in Style and Function

Single Vanity With a Shelf

Gain extra storage space by installing a vanity with a bottom shelf. In addition to drawers, the deep shelf provides a spot for bath towels or storage baskets to hold various bathroom essentials.

Small Vanity With a Decorative Door

Add interest to a small single vanity by switching out a standard cabinet door for a glass front, chicken wire, or decorative curtain-lined door.

Here, the interior curtain and lattice door pattern break up the white vanity. It also provides hidden storage space and adds another layer of color, pattern, and materials to the space.

Brass Console Vanity

Add timeless style to your bathroom with a brass console vanity. It's a classic choice that never goes out of style and pairs just as well with a modern bathroom as it does with a traditional space. It also doubles as a towel holder, so if you don't have room for an additional towel ring or bar, this is a great solution.

Vanity With Interior Organizers

Maximize space and utilize every square inch of your small vanity by incorporating functional organizers such as these two-tiered sliding drawers. Instead of wasting vertical space in a vanity that doesn't have shelves or drawers, bring in clever organizational tools that create extra surface space and help hold bathroom essentials in a neat and tidy way.

Pink Vanity With Marble Top

A blush pink vanity adds softness to this small bathroom and its multiple drawers provide ample storage. Give a standard vanity the custom treatment by painting it an unexpected color and switching out the hardware for unique knobs or pulls. It's a simple and inexpensive design trick that makes a huge difference.

Wall to Wall Floating Vanity

Leaving a gap between your vanity and the wall means forgoing valuable space, having to deal with the hassle of items falling in the gap, and dust collecting without an easy way to clean it.

To prevent this from happening, install a custom floating wall-to-wall vanity that takes advantage of the entire nook and adds a modern touch with its clean and streamlined look.

Industrial-Style Vanity

A vanity with a pipe base, thick stone sink, and matte black hardware brings a splash of industrial style to this dark and moody bathroom. The small vanity packs a big design punch and its straight lines are complemented with a round mirror, decorative floor tile, and spherical wall sconces.

Modern Console Sink

Achieve a sleek, contemporary aesthetic with a clean-lined console sink that puts a modern spin on a classic. A thick marble top and shiny brass legs elevate this small bathroom and evoke a luxurious feel. Use the open space under the sink, as it's large enough for a basket, small stool, or trash can.

Blue Vanity With Scalloped Details

Just because a vanity is small doesn't mean it can't make a big statement. This lovely powder blue vanity features a stunning scalloped detail and a luxurious marble top. A blue and white geometric print wallpaper picks up the vanity color, while a uniquely shaped mirror adds a touch of whimsy, echoing the scalloped vanity trim.

Marble Vanity With a Shelf

A small nook or alcove in your bathroom presents a natural spot for a wall-to-wall floating vanity. Marble is a classic material that instantly dresses up the space. If you want to add storage and maintain a minimalist aesthetic, incorporate a shelf underneath the vanity to boost its practicality.

Antique-Style Bathroom Vanity

Turn an antique-style console table into a small vanity that's bursting with character. Small drawers provide just enough space for bathroom essentials and a marble top and square sink protect the wood piece and add a modern spin. A brass mirror, faucet, and pendant light complement the vanity and help further the room's vintage aesthetic.

Single Vanity With a Toilet Paper Holder

If situated next to the toilet, mount a toilet paper holder onto the side of your small vanity. Coordinate its finish with the other materials used and don't be afraid to mix metals—use up to three different metals in one space for a layered look.

Wall-Mounted Vanity With Built-In Shelves

Think vertically and create storage space above your small vanity through built-in shelves. These streamlined shelves mimic the clean lines of the wall-mounted vanity. The combination of warm and cool materials and tones helps achieve visual balance.

Vanity With Multiple Storage Options

Go with a vanity that has multiple storage options—cabinets, drawers, shelves, and a toilet paper holder—to maximize space. This allows you to store a variety of different items, from extra towels and toilet paper to hair styling tools and dental hygiene products.

Floating Marble Sink With a Pull-Out Drawer

If you like the look of a floating marble sink but can't do without the storage space, simply mount a drawer underneath it. This wood drawer has warm tones which complement the stone's natural veins and antique brass finishes, making the bathroom a cohesive and intentional design.

Curved Bathroom Vanity

A freestanding curved vanity is a nod to traditional style, especially when topped with marble featuring a decorative edge. Curved furniture is a good pick for small spaces as its softer edges are less bulky both physically and visually.

Small Vanity With Turned Legs

Give a basic white vanity a more custom look by adding turned legs. A small and inexpensive change like this makes a world of difference in elevating it from builder-grade to custom designed. You can purchase raw wood-turned legs in most hardware stores. Then, secure them to the bottom of the vanity and paint them the same color to look like they came with the vanity.

Navy Blue Vanity With Leather Pulls

Give a small single vanity with drawers a quick makeover by replacing standard knobs with a unique alternative, such as these leather pulls. They introduce a new and unexpected material and pop against the navy blue vanity color for an interesting design detail that makes a big impact.

Open Shelf Vanity

Make the most of your small vanity by choosing one that has plenty of storage space. Open shelving allows for quick and easy access. In order to keep the shelves neat, clean, and clutter-free, corral items into baskets.

Stone Bowl Vanity

Incorporate a unique feature into your bathroom by placing a stone bowl sink on a small vanity table. Turn any sturdy and substantial bowl-style vessel into a sink, whether it's a colorful decorative piece you picked up on your travels or a heavy marble one such as this. Place a decorative basket underneath to create extra space for bathroom essentials.

DIY Wood Vanity

Instead of purchasing a bathroom vanity, build your own by transforming a piece of furniture into a small vanity. This could be a tall nightstand, cabinet, or console table—just keep its height, depth, and width in mind, noting that a sink will sit on top.

White Bathroom Vanity

Maintain a light and bright aesthetic perfectly suited for a serene bathroom with a white single vanity. Continue the color scheme with a white quartz or marble countertop and complement the crisp color choice with cool polished chrome faucet hardware.

Mixed Materials Floating Vanity

A wood shelf, ceramic white sink, and matte black hardware give this corner-mounted vanity a layered look. Instead of just floating the sink, a simple shelf creates a surface to store hand soap or toothbrushes, adding ample value to the small space. A wall mirror, towel ring, and bulb-style pendant light complete this corner vignette, while a white shiplap serves as a subtle accent wall.

Green Painted Bathroom Vanity

Paint a small vanity a deep and dark color to give it personality. This moody green has a traditional feel which is emphasized by wood drawer knobs painted in the same color and brass latches on the cabinet doors. A charcoal gray vanity top with decorative edges furthers the classic aesthetic, as do the vintage-style candle scones, cream-painted beadboard, and crown molding.

Small Vanity With Decorative Trim

Add a decorative trim around hardware or lining cabinet doors to dress up a basic small vanity. Paint the piece a fun color and add unique hardware to emphasize the details and give the piece a one-of-a-kind look.
