The bathroom is probably one of the most important rooms in a home, with its unspoken privacy and unquestioned serenity. And as the key element of the room, bathroom vanity ideas should never be overlooked, as any minute detail will alter the space. Here are 7 bathroom vanity ideas to consider if you desire to revamp the room.
Beyond The Horizon
Accentuating the horizon line of your bathroom vanity will make the space seem elevated and will add further dimension to the area. The break in the wall’s continuity can be underscored with the use of different materials, making the room feel more cohesive and inviting.
In a radiant boutique property in New Delhi, the terrazzo bathroom flooring extends up the wall, where it meets the pale yellow colour unique to the sanctuary. The teak horizon line detail which separates the two materials, contrasts with the yellow and draws attention to the teak vanity area and doorframes. The trim lines complement the circular mirror and bathmat, making the space feel balanced. In a similar fashion, a set designer’s home in New Delhi incorporates the horizon line technique to the master bathroom. A more distinct separation between the teal tiling and the beige wall, infuses the space with a royal charm. The vertical lines of the rectangular tiling extend through the baguette-style Art Deco mirror, and downwards through the geometric vanity. The gold accents subtly add a further elegance, transporting visitors back in time to the golden era.
Make It A Double

What’s more romantic than brushing your teeth together? No more waiting impatiently to glance in the mirror, or scolding one another about the mess—a double vanity will solve all those troubles, while guaranteeing a more stylish finish.
In this Pune villa, the master bathroom is a spa-like retreat, complementing the rest of the home’s serene energy. Lit up with natural light from a skylight above, the bathroom includes a freestanding tub, a walk-in shower, and a dual sink installation with a mirror suspended from the ceiling. Each element of the bathroom is an isolated feature, enhancing the open and airy feel of the space. The Jack and Jill vanity also provides a sense of privacy for the bathtub, which sits directly beneath the skylight. The room is grounded in earthy tones and textures, from the raw stone of the basins and the amorphous shape of the mirror, to the pebbled floor and the greenery framing the corner.
An Artist’s Touch
Turning a simple bathroom vanity into an artistic installation has the potential of transforming the space into one of the more interesting aspects of the home. Whether it’s curating a mini art wall, or incorporating a statement sink feature, an artistic touch will enliven the space and mirror the rest of the home’s style.
In an art collector’s home in Chennai, the vanity area in the powder room juxtaposes the curation of tribal objects with a solid stone basin and countertop. Almost sculptural, the sink becomes a part of the display, seamlessly integrating the home’s bold and creative aesthetic. Alternatively, a lake house in Udaipur boasts a 10-foot-tall basin carved from a single block of locally-sourced granite. The mirror is suspended from the ceiling, further elevating the space. Certainly a statement piece, this bathroom vanity is both a work of art and testament to the family’s devotion to the nearby Krishna temple, and the ancient practice of stone masonry in temple-building.
Statement Materiality
Material-drenching is the new colour-drenching—extending the same material across the vanity and multiple surfaces, promises a luxurious and seamless finish. It will also characterise the tone of the bathroom, enveloping the space with a particular aesthetic.
In a Bengaluru penthouse, each bathroom has its own personality. One in particular, is clad in leafy green marble along the vanity and main wall. Tied together with an eclectic metal mirror, a jungle-scene mural stretching across the remaining walls, and the delicate gold finishings, the powder room projects a fairytale-like ambiance. Similarly, in a lavish Venetian home, decadence runs rampant. A richly textured marble takes centre stage, as it unfolds across the low vanity and into the shower area. The rough-cut mirror is crafted from hand-painted fibreglass, which mimics the opulent marble material.
A Pop Of Colour
A small room, the bathroom might be the perfect setting to experiment with a pop of colour. Whether its a subtle contrast or a bright infusion, colour will animate the room with the energy and transform it into an eye-catching space.
In a vivid London home, the powder room is a concentration the sumptuous Yves Klein blue, offset by the shocks of canary yellow finishings, which ultimately creates a space that screams royalty. The room is the maximises on different textures, with the vibrant colours extending to the remaining walls, and the intricate gold light fixture which projects a floral pattern. Contrastingly, an artistic duplex in Mumbai makes use of subtle colour contrasts in the bathroom’s vanity area, with the pop of red in the mirror and artful ceiling light, against the striated Dalmata marble. While minimalist, the use of the red creates a focal point for the space, balancing out the black and white milieu.
It All Balances Out

Playing with dimension and contrasting tones may seem like an obvious decision when creating a striking bathroom, but it couldn’t be more underrated. The varied use of textures, hues and the use of space can stir things up, making the overall aesthetic more interesting.
In a materially blended home in Hyderabad, the bathroom vanity is a three-dimensional masterpiece. The dramatically striated marble and irregular shape of the vanity bursts from the soft monochromatic tones of the rear walls. The minimalist addition of the circular golden mirror, the black basin fixture, and the peach wall lamp, tie the room’s colour scheme together. Comparably, in a cosy Mumbai home, the bathroom vanity features a stunning marble basin-countertop, which is only enhanced by the muted grey tones in the rest of the space. A soft gold and rosy pendant light and other fixtures highlight the sink, seamlessly drawing the elements together.
Mirror, Mirror On The Wall
What would a bathroom vanity be without a mirror? After all, that’s where the ‘vanity’ aspect of it comes in. So why not make good use of such an opportunity by fitting a wall-to-wall mirror. Not only will it show you more you, but it will actually give your space the illusion of appearing larger and never-ending.
In a minimalist penthouse in Pune, the master bathroom fuses the home’s geometric aesthetic with a sleek modern style. The wide countertop allows for ample storage and a dual-sink feature. With the dark marble-clad walls encasing three sides of the room, a wall-to-wall mirror brightens the space up with its built in light. The rectangular detailing of the mirror corresponds to the similarly shaped basins, countertops, and fluted cabinets, aligning to the home’s the geometric aesthetic.
