Modern Bathroom vanities are different from traditional bathroom vanities in size, functionality, detail work and the material used. Vintage and antique bathroom vanities are being reproduced by modern bathroom vanities manufacturers, and, you can buy a ‘traditional’, antique cream or antique cherry bathroom vanity with gorgeous cabinets, for a fraction of a price! They’ll still cost more than sleek, elegant and modern cabinets and vanities! Keep in mind that these vintage vanities are best for bigger bathroom’s where space is not a problem, nor, is the money!

However, if you live in a condo, or a small home, than you want to go for modern, sleek and elegant bathroom cabinet and furniture.

Modern bathroom vanities are designed in a stylish and functional way so that they can easily get assemble.

Modern“Bathroom Vanities” refers to the bathroom cabinet that covers the plumbing under the bathroom sink. Bathroom Cabinets may includes Cabinet Shelves, Cabinet Storage, drawers, AND have a cut out space for vanity on the countertop. However, traditional and vintage designs were more than just a bathroom furniture. Antique vanities were designed to be the masterpiece and focal point, that, complemented the mirror and rest of the bathroom.

Both traditional and modern bathroom cabinets and vanities come with a variety of countertops that can withstand moisture. Marble has been used traditionally, since, it is resistant to breakage, cracking, and scratching. Traditional vanities also used granite, stone, travertine, or hard wood. However, the modern bathroom vanities use all this and more for countertops! Artificial recycled countertops made of synthetic material are also used, and, so is recycled material!

Bathroom Remodel Tips for $99

Monday, June 21st, 2010

Want to remodel your bathroom? Have no money! We can help. With a few innovative and creative ideas, you can remodel and change the look of your bathroom for under $99.

You would need:

1. Bathroom vanity paint remover

2. New Bathroom light

3. Semi-gloss  Bathroom Paint in BOLD color

4. New Vanity Paint or wood varnish

5. A ‘frame’ for your mirror

First on the list is a visit to the local consignment or Goodwill store. There are quite a few bargains to be had in bathroom mirrors, bathroom vanity lighting at goodwill, furniture consignment stores or at craigslist. You can even get bathroom faucets for free or for $10 or $20 in these places.

It takes time, but, once you have got all that. It’s time to get to work. Remove the paint or varnish from your old vanity.  Put in a new mirror, new lighting. We will talk about bathroom lighting in just a minute. First, let’s talk about Semi-gloss bathroom paint in bold color – red, aquamarine and so on. Painting a bathroom in bold color makes it striking. However, if it is a small space, try painting only ONE wall.

There are many kinds of paints -  high gloss, semi gloss, and satin.  You will always find some paint at a clearance in Lowe’s or Home Depot. Buy the one on clearance. Its cheap.  You can get any color mixed in. So, what is the difference between high gloss, semi gloss and satin? Read on.

  • Satin – Satin has a bit of a gloss, and can be used in low-moisture bathrooms, such as powder or guest bathrooms.
  • Semi-Gloss – Best sheen for any kind of bathroom. Repels moisture well.
  • High-gloss – Best for bathroom walls because high-gloss repels moisture almost as well as if your walls were coated in plastic. Downside is that high-gloss (in the opinion of some people) does not look good when spread out over large surfaces such as walls. Best for smaller surfaces like trim and cabinetry.

Now, let’s talk about lighting. Bathroom vanities lighting look best when paired opposite a fitting mirror that throws back exactly the correct amount of light illuminating exactly the correct corners of your face.

When selecting the style for your bathroom vanities you can go for a large number of choices which include but are not limited to, decorative wall brackets or sconces, functional straight lights, swing arm lamps, under cabinet lights etc. Designs may include anything from traditional to transcendental to modern geometric to fusion.

You can either go for a straight line of lights that would proportionally light up all the recesses of your bathroom vanities or choose to go for single topped torch bearing styled sconces that amplify the mystique ratio of your bathroom vanities.

Lighting for bathroom vanities may be composed of a large variety of materials. Nickel, chrome and brass are just some of the most popular types. Opal glass, ceramic glass finishes and stainless steel finishes are also fast gaining momentum.

Recently, there has been noticed a renewed interest in crystal glass lighting designs for bathroom vanities among buyers who want to render that dreamy aura to their bathrooms. Intermittent lightings may seem extremely appealing; however it is equally important to have enough provision of light sources in the other portions of the bathrooms as poor lighting arrangements may cause serious accidents. for

Illuminate your Bathroom furniture vanities

Friday, May 14th, 2010

light fixture for bathroom vanity

Simple Light Fixture

Sometimes, a small light fixture can change your regular bathroom to a luxury one.

Question is, how do we set illumination for our bathroom furniture vanities? If done correctly, light fixtures can render a mesmerizing effect to your bath.

Unlike common perception, choosing the correct pairs of lights for your bathroom furniture vanities can be as interesting as they look daunting.

The best option still remains to allow for as much natural illumination as possible during the day hours.

As for the evenings, ensure that light bulbs in your bathroom furniture vanities are so that they accentuate your facial contours to the fullest.

Compromising sufficient lighting to render a mystique aura to your bath chamber is never a good trade off.

From ceiling lights to sconces to straight rows of geometric patterned neon lights, the choice of illumination in your bathroom furniture vanities are abundant and so are the pitfalls.

Ceiling lights suspended right above the bathroom furniture vanities is a long outmoded practice. Since the light falls directly above the face most often they cast unnatural shadows on the skin which are mistaken to be patches. Your eyes appear to be shrouded in black rings that you can never detect in stark daylight.

This is why ceiling lights are slowly being replaced by sconces fitted on the wall on either sides of the bathroom furniture vanities’ mirror.

Sconces ensure an exact even amount of light to be incident on your face. This way you are able to have a correct judgment as to the way you look and the flaws if any that may be lining your countenance.

You can also experiment with a whole range of user specific lighting systems which can effectively guide a ray of light to be incident on a specific facial recess of your liking. It is also critical to ensure that the mirror is stain free and has an even curvature, as this might directly influence the way you spread your eye shadow or glide that razor of yours.

It is better to use dimmers in case of bathroom furniture vanities, as then you could experiment with the amount of light that actually strikes your face. Ambient lighting on the other hand are comprised of stark sources of light which are used for visibility purposes and are generally not the ideal choices for lighting up bathroom furniture vanities.
