The floating vanity is gradually becoming very popular with today’s modern design trends. The appeal to the modern floating vanity is the modern “minimalist” look combined with the desire for more open floor space.
Floating vanities can be done to fit any desired look or style from rough and rustic to ultra modern and minimalist. Although predominantly seen in the more modern designs, floating vanities are being seen, more and more, in more traditional and rustic home designs. There are advantages and disadvantages to using a floating vanity in your bathroom remodel. One advantage is opening up floor space. Another, by opening up that floor space, it makes it much easier to clean the floors. Less rick of water damage due to a leaky toilet or tub/shower. We all know that kids, and some adults, can be careless with the water in a tub. It splashes or spills over the edge or runs out during a shower and can damage a traditional floor mounted cabinet. One disadvantage, and probably the number one reason that some people don’t use a floating vanity, is that they typically will limit the storage capability of the cabinet. Many bathrooms are fairly small and storage for toiletries is at a premium. But there are those homeowners that are more interested in the design aspect over the storage ability.
