Long vanity versus 2 console sinks

9 years ago

My existing (now demolished) master bath vanity had dual over-mount sinks on a 95" long vanity (tiled).

I was planning to replace it with dual under-mount sinks in a custom-built cabinet with an engineered quartz countertop.

Instead, I'm thinking about dual consoles with integrated sinks. I saw a console I like that is 43" long, but I'm thinking 40" length would be a better fit - would allow for 4" between each console and the adjacent wall and 7" separating the consoles.

I'm wondering if I will regret sacrificing the storage space under the vanity and the loss of some counter space. Some of the consoles I've looked at are more like a free-standing vanity - with 1 or 2 drawers and/or a shelf underneath for towels.

I plan to have two medicine cabinets on the wall in front of the sinks. I will have storage space and additional countertop space in a makeup vanity across from the sinks.

In the original layout, I made little use of the space under the sinks - mostly T.P., cleaning supplies, hair dryer, and extra toothpaste. Because of the pipes, it was always an awkward space for storing supplies.

I think with 95" worth of space you'll be fine going down to two sinks. 2- 40" sinks stills provides a lot of space in my mind.

I'm working with a 72" vanity between two walls and having a hard time finding a solid vanity base to fit ... I considered doing two sinks but I'd have to do two 30" and then I would lose too much countertop space so I'm getting a cabinet maker make me a custom piece. If I had your space I would think two 40s is plenty but if you like the look of one solid piece then you may want to reconsider...

We/re putting in a 96" wide custom one-top vanity with two undermount sinks and two medicine cabinets.Vertical walls on eithewr side. From outside in to center cabinets are two15" 3-drawer cabinets, two 22" sink cabinets with lower drawer, and door above to look like two drawers, with an 18" 3-drawer cabinet in the middle. (balance of space = filler strips on the outside edges.)

The whole thing will look like a matched set of 3-drawer cabinets, with PLENTY of storage space for towels, etc. etc.and enough room around each sink so we don;t bump into a wall.

In your circumstances I would keep the long vanity. We will be losing one in our upcoming remodel in order to gain a curbless shower. And I'm dreading losing that storage space and trying to find places to add storage back into the room. If you will have the space to keep the long vanity, I would.
