Choosing a bathroom vanity shapes the whole room: it holds your sink and countertop, sets the style, and anchors your storage. This guide walks through the decisions that matter most, in the order you will actually face them, so you can choose the right bathroom vanity with confidence.
Floating or freestanding: which vanity style is right for you?
Choose a floating vanity if you want a modern, open look and easier cleaning underneath; choose freestanding if you prefer a more substantial feel, simpler installation, and a bit more storage. A floating vanity mounts to the wall and secures into the studs, while a freestanding one rests on the floor. Both arrive fully assembled.
Our TULUM in fluted natural oak is the only floating model; the rest of the vanities collection is freestanding-style.
What size bathroom vanity do I need?
Measure the wall, then subtract for the door swing and a few inches of side clearance. Our vanities run from 30 to 31 inches, like the compact MONACO for powder rooms, up to 71 inches for primary suites. Match the width to the space rather than filling the wall edge to edge.

Single or double vanity?
Choose a double vanity if two people use the bathroom at once and you have at least 59 inches of wall; otherwise a single vanity uses the space more efficiently. Our doubles run 59 to 71 inches with two basins and extra storage, such as the MALDIVES. Below 59 inches, a single basin with roomy counter space wins.

Which countertop material should I choose?
Choose quartz for the best all-round durability and low maintenance, porcelain for a refined stone look, or an integrated Corian or ceramic basin for a seamless, easy-clean surface. Quartz tops, as on the MALIBU and MALDIVES, resist scratches and stains, which suits a busy family bathroom.
What comes included with a NOVA-ELEMENTS vanity?
Every vanity arrives fully assembled and includes a matching LED mirror in the price, so you do not source one separately. The sink is integrated, the drawers and doors use DTC soft-close hardware, and the countertop comes pre-drilled for a standard faucet. LED mirrors carry CE, SAA, or UL certifications depending on the model.
Model-specific details are on our FAQ page.
Will a new vanity work with my existing plumbing?
Usually, yes. To avoid the cost of relocating pipes, pick a vanity whose drain and supply lines line up with your current rough-in, and measure the drain's distance from the side wall before ordering. Our countertops come pre-drilled for a standard faucet, and many models can be ordered as a base only, without a top. Contact us to confirm for your model.
How is my vanity delivered and installed?
Your vanity ships by LTL freight with complimentary shipping insurance and free delivery across the contiguous 48 states, including a lift-gate service. Because it arrives fully assembled, installation means mounting, not building. For floating models, secure into the wall studs at a countertop height of 32 to 36 inches; professional installation is recommended.
Vanities are backed by a one-year limited manufacturer warranty.
