Choosing the right
vanity for you!
Bathroom vanity cabinets are a top priority
for discerning people that are considering a new or remodeled
bathroom. Todays vanities now act as furniture, furniture that
is as unique as you and the lifestyle you live. They are also
center pieces that dramatically enhance the aura and style
of the most used room in your home.
On a practical, monetary level, a stylish
vanity will always add value to your home, therefore paying
for itself. On a personal level, a well designed vanity that “fits” will
provide years of enjoyment and soothe your senses every time
you or your guests use it. Our Art Bathe vanity cabinets vary
wildly and are replete with imaginative design possibilities.
They do, however, all share one common trait: a timeless sense
of style. When making the choice of which vanity is right for
you, it can help to consider a few points besides just the
style itself:
It seems simple but a key consideration sometimes overlooked
is the size of your bathroom. Size directly determines some
of your vanity choices. If your bathroom is small, consider
an open-concept vanity with a glass top like the Hillary.
It will create the illusion of more space, yet has a large
enough sink and counterspace to be practical. On the other
hand, a vanity such as the Continental measures
out as 75” wide and features a double-sink countertop,
perfect for a master ensuite.
Your vanity countertop choice will be one that defines your
personal style. Ceramic tile used to be the traditional favourite
in the bathroom, but now there are a myriad of choices available.
A natural stone such as granite is desirable but not as impervious
to water and stains as quartz or tempered glass.
Think of your current bathroom layout and the items and
features you don't have that you need. Maybe you need extra
storage in the bathroom? Perhaps you want to un-clutter your
shelves? Perhaps the bathroom for you is a minimalist place
and storage occurs in another wardrobe or ante room? Choose
a vanity that satisfies your list of needs and you will be
well on your way to finding the right design for you.
The clean straight lines that dominate contemporary vanities
are perfect to showcase the refined elegance of a stone vessel. Elegant
and chic, vessel sinks stand on top of the vanity like a
sculptured bowl, they are easy to maintain and provide a
bold artistic flourish to any vanity. Alternatively, the
quiet glamour of a mint green tempered glass sink incorporated
into the countertop can give an equally clean and refreshingly
urban feel.
Your faucet choices are numerous and are integral to the
finished look of your vanity. Think of the faucet as a compliment
to the overall tone of the vanity, brushed nickel or stainless
steel are ageless finishes for the sleek, modern vanity of
today.
Imagine your bathroom as a blank canvas; now see the vanity
as a start point for your artistic imagination, everything
else will flow from this choice. With care and a good quality
vanity from Art Bathe you will achieve the look you are striving
for. With richly-stained hardwoods, brushed nickel or stainless
steel hardware and faucets, porcelain, stone or mint green
glass sinks and countertops, each material brings your vanity
a natural serenity and a sense of cool sophistication.
Your bathroom will never be the same.
Quartz Countertops
Quartz countertops are a new, worry-free
alternative that Art Bathe® has introduced for bathroom countertops.
Once only limited to the high-end kitchen market, quartz has
finally made it’s foray to the bathroom vanity market.
Quartz is a remarkable natural stone that
has many benefits over granite and marble.
Natural quartz is one of the strongest elements in the world.
It is extremely difficult to chip, scratch, and crack, which
is a boon to millions of consumers that have had to replace
their marble and granite countertops after accidentally damaging
them.
Simply wipe your quartz countertop with warm water to clean.
There is no resealing or chemical treatment required.
With granite, marble or travertine, patterns and colors
can vary wildly, even within the same slab of stone. Quartz
is remarkable consistent, so you don’t have to worry
about the color and pattern being different from the sample
you saw in the showroom.
Quartz is naturally resistant to staining due to its high
density. Unlike other materials, it will not change color
over time.
Quartz countertops have a rich, glossy feel and look that
is unlike any other material. The two colors (Nougat and
Sand) selected by Art Bathe® designers are clean,
classy, and intended for use in almost any bathroom environment.
They have grays, beiges, and shades of white that will match
any tile and paint combination.
With unparalleled beauty and performance, our Art Bathe® quartz
countertops will add value to your home and provide years of
maintenance free enjoyment. We guarantee it.
