Sometimes, something as simple as replacing the old bathroom vanity can give the room a completely new look and feel.  Over the years, the popularity of one type of vanity to another changes.  While still popular, the old steel and porcelain vanity has given way to glass and chrome.  These materials are also a lot easier to clean and keep shiny.

A good example of the glass vanity is the Solace.

The solace features sturdy chrome construction and, as with most modern vanities, features a very sparse look. But just because it is simple, do not assume that it is unattractive. In fact, the simplicity of the Solace’s design is one of its more endearing qualities.

The countertop is glass, and it supports a glass countertop vessel sink and a towel rack. The glass is available in four colors: amber, blue, frosted (a sort of light blue), and grey.    The Solace has one shelf beneath the countertop for storage, so if you are a serious organizer by nature, this may not be the vanity for you. The shelf should give you plenty of room to organize your toiletries and hygienic products, but the fact that these are clearly visible (as the Solace does not have cabinet doors) may be a bit deterring for some designers and homeowners.   The shelf is approximately 30” wide, as opposed to the countertop which is 35” wide. The entire vanity stands at about 20” in height, though this may change depending on the faucet you choose to install. It should be noted that the Solace and the faucet are sold separately, which is an important budget consideration.   The Solace is a relatively affordable vanity though, with a price tag of about $650.

FRESHOME

There are additional types of vanities and counters that you may use.  The whole point of replacing such an item would be to create beauty and value for the people living there and/or the ones that might be interested in buying your home and for them the bathroom is very important.
