DIY And Small Bathroom Vanity

By Darren Hartley


A DIY bathroom vanity can take the form of a flea market cabinet turned into a stylish bathroom vanity with antique charm. The first step in this DIY exercise is to remove the top of the cabinet by unscrewing the cabinet top and removing it from the frame.

The next step to the creation of a personalized DIY bathroom vanity involves the reinforcement of the frame with the use of an electric screwdriver. A long screw is placed in the center of the frame. After measuring the cabinet top, a sub-top out of plywood is cut and used as a replacement of the original top.

Using a hammer and a screwdriver, the cabinet back is removed. A piece of 2" x 4" board, cut to the height of the inside of the cabinet, is placed parallel to the original supporting beam. The new support beam is glued and screwed in the center front of the cabinet. This is done to allow room for the drawers and sink of the DIY bathroom vanity.

Finding the right small bathroom vanities that suit the style of a homeowner, overcomes the storage, decorating and design challenges presented by a small bathroom. They pave the way for the creation of a perfectly stylish small bathroom.

Among small bathroom vanities, the cabinet-style cabinet is considered classic and common. Its built-in drawers and concealed compartments provide a generous serving of storage all in one place. This more than makes up for the fact that its solid shape takes up a lot of space.

Small bathroom vanities, in the form of wall-mounted vanities, are attached only to the wall. They reveal an open space beneath that extends from the sink down to the floor. This floating design lends an airy ambiance to the room, very similar to what a pedestal or console sink provides. Depending on its specific design, wall mounted vanities may or may not provide added storage. A wall-mounted vanity consisting only of a countertop and sink provides no storage at all while a vanity featuring a short cabinet beneath provides a small amount of additional storage space.
