Euro Vanity - Renovate Your Bathroom in Style
The bathtub December 18th, 2007
A great idea to “class up” your old looking bathroom is to try the new styles of bathroom vanities that are available. One of the most popular is the Euro Vanity. However, up until now the Euro Vanity has been out of reach to the average spender. It is an expensive looking piece of bathroom furniture and its price justified the exquisite look. Unfortunately, if you go to the big box retail supply stores you might still be spending a lot of money for this new style bathroom vanity. Also, beware, these large home centers inflate prices and sell you vanities that are not made of wood. They may look like wood and might have a wood front; but the rest of the vanity is a little bit above strong cardboard.
Recently some large importers have brought in real wood cabinets that are not only of great quality, but are less money than the retail vanities. Going online to a kitchen and bathroom website will save you time and money. To further your savings, try an RTA cabinet. RTA stands for ready to assemble cabinets and they are fast becoming the best way to renovate a kitchen or bathroom. The Euro Vanity is available online at various RTA cabinets’ sites for 30% to 40% less than buying it at a store!
The other amazing part of these cabinets is “the parts” themselves. The cabinet and vanities are made of solid wood, and they come with a specially designed sink bowl that extends out from the front of the cabinet (the curves in the front really helps to break of the straight lines that are traditionally found in a bathroom). You’re getting a higher quality product at a better price. How can the price and quality be so much better?. This is because the cabinets or vanities are “RTA”. Don’t worry, the vanities only have one sheet of directions and can be easily put together with a single flat head screw driver. They use a cam lock system that utilizes pegs and locking system that creates a snug fit.
What Options Do You Have In Bathroom Vanities?

Bathroom vanities add a lot of character to your bathroom. They are an essential piece to your bathroom. They provide you with space to set your items on. They offer a place for your sink to rest. They also provide a good amount of storage underneath the sink. One of the best things that they can offer to you is that storage. While many are looking away from bathroom vanities, they should be considered for the options they provide to you. They are great for organization as well as to improve the clutter in your bathroom space.
Before You Make Your Purchase
Before you start purchasing your bathroom vanities, think about a few things first. The size of them is an important consideration. They can be a variety of widths from 18 to 48 inches, in 6 inch increments. You need to find the size that works well for your space and for the uses you will have for it. You will find them in a variety of types of wood. Some good options include oak, walnut, cherry and maple. Or, look for a lacquer that will help to show off the grains in those woods. To choose the right wood for your needs,
A Variety Of Options
There are a variety of bathroom vanities that you can select from including these four. One is a basic cabinet that can be mounted to the wall or it can be recessed. You may want to consider having open shelving vanity which can have recessed shelves, corner shelves or surface mounted options. Or, consider an over the toilet vanity. This is perfect for anyone that is looking for additional storage from limited space. Or, consider a closet type of vanity. This is good for linens, baskets and can be a built in or a freestanding unit.
Next, look at the style options that you have. A face frame vanity cabinet is one of them that provides the most traditional and formal look to the bathroom. A cabinet box can be used. These feature framed panel doors and hidden hinges, if you like. Or, consider a frameless vanity that is more like a European style. For a modern design in your bathroom, consider this. These are hidden hinged vanities and are easily adjustable.
