Small powder rooms will benefit from a vanity like this. A rounded front lets it blend into the corner where a square would be awkward. While it may not be appropriate for the main bath, the small powder room doesn’t require much counter space, making it possible.

Types of Corner Vanities

In addition to maximizing the bathroom space by using an otherwise underused corner space, corner bathroom vanities can also provide an extra storage option that’s extremely helpful if attempting to configure a small bathroom space. Many corner bathroom vanities include drawer or cabinet storage, which can be used to store linens and bath accessories. Corner bathroom vanities have different styles, shapes, and sizes. You should know the various types of corner vanity units to choose the right one. Here is a list of the different bathroom vanity corner units so you can select one that will suit your space.

  • Rounded corner bathroom vanity

A rounded corner bathroom vanity refers to corner vanities with soft rounded edges rather than sharp ones. This type of vanity lends a classical and standard aesthetic to a bathroom. It is a good choice of vanity style if you aim for a transitional or modern classic bathroom look.

  • Floating corner bathroom vanity

A floating corner vanity is a vanity cabinet mounted on the corner wall. This is great for tiny bathrooms. Floating vanities like these usually have small drawers instead of base cabinets. Mounting a piece of small furniture like this will create the illusion of more space in your bathroom, thus making your bathroom look less crowded.

  • Corner double sink vanity

Most people think that corner vanities for small bathrooms have only one sink. This is not entirely true. There are corner vanity units for small bathrooms that have double sinks. They are, however, typically larger than a small corner bathroom vanity with one sink. A corner double vanity small bathroom occupies two walls that are adjacent to each other. They are often incorporated in medium-sized to large bathrooms.

  • Corner bathroom vanity with drawers

A bathroom corner vanity cabinet will be ideal if you want to maximize space and add more storage to your small bathroom. Corner vanity units for small bathrooms usually have base cabinets. If you want to create a more open appeal to make your bathroom appear spacious, go for a corner bathroom vanity shelf instead.

  • Corner bathroom vanities for integrated sinks

The sink and countertop are combined in an integrated sink. This creates a more streamlined and edgy aesthetic in your bathroom. The sink is a built-in countertop component constructed of the same material as the countertop instead of being added or installed.

  • Corner vanity with vessel sink

Vessel sinks, also commonly known as bowl sinks, are sinks that sit on the surface of the countertop. They add style and character to bathrooms. These kinds of sinks create a calming, relaxing, and spa-like feel in the bathroom’s interior.

  • Ceramic top and corner bathroom vanities

For several reasons, ceramic vanity tops are a fantastic choice for your bathroom. They have a smooth, elegant surface and a classic style which is great whether you go for the traditional or contemporary bathroom interior style. The surface of ceramic tops is also water and stain-resistant, which is crucial in a contemporary bathroom.

  • Corner bathroom makeup vanity

Another corner vanity style that is very common for en suite bathrooms is the corner makeup vanity bathroom. It is a large vanity, usually with a big countertop and mirror mounted on adjacent bathroom walls. On the corner of the adjacent walls is a small space utilized as a makeup vanity.

  • Corner bathroom vanity with mirror

Whether your corner bathroom vanity is small or large, you can install a mirror just a few inches above the countertop or your vessel sink. Vanities must always have mirrors for bathrooms to be convenient and efficient. Look for mirror styles that would fit best in your interior design style of choice.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

If you have a small bathroom, take advantage of the corners of the room to install your large bathroom fixtures. Moving a fixture like a vanity to the corner of the room opens up a large amount of wall space, making the bathroom appear more spacious and functional.
It might seem a little counter-intuitive, but cutting your vanity in half and putting it in a corner can actually offer you more storage space than many more conventional smaller bathroom vanities. Even if you’re sacrificing a little storage, you might make up enough floor space to add a separate storage cabinet.
Bright, white colors are always timeless. You can use a hint of ivory or even an eggshell white, but using whites will keep your bathroom relevant. Trendy or bold colors will go out of style quickly. If you want splashes of color, use your decor and accent pieces to bring in that design aspect.
According to basic design principles, light colors such as white, crème, pastel blue, gray or yellow will visually expand a room, while dark colors, such as deep red, green or brown, will make a room feel smaller.
