When it comes to bathroom design, few features make as big an impact as the vanity. It’s the visual anchor of the room, a practical workhorse for everyday routines, and an opportunity to express your unique style. If you’re ready to go beyond cookie-cutter solutions, custom vanities for bathrooms offer a perfect blend of form and function tailored just for you.
At StoneHill Cabinetry, we believe your bathroom should reflect who you are—not just in looks, but in how it supports your lifestyle. Whether you’re designing a spa-like retreat or updating a busy family bath, let’s explore how a custom vanity can bring your vision to life.
Why Choose a Custom Vanity?

Off-the-shelf bathroom vanities may work in a pinch, but they often force you to compromise—on size, storage, style, or quality. A custom vanity is designed around your exact needs and preferences. From layout to finishes, it gives you control over the final product.
Here are just a few benefits of choosing a custom bathroom vanity:
- Perfect Fit: Whether you have an unusual floor plan or a tiny powder room, a custom vanity is made to the exact measurements of your space.
- Storage That Works for You: Customize drawers, shelves, and cabinets to match your routines—like deep drawers for hair tools or hidden compartments for cleaning supplies.
- Personalized Style: Choose from a wide range of wood species, finishes, hardware, and countertop options to suit your taste.
- Quality Craftsmanship: Custom vanities are typically made with higher-quality materials and attention to detail than mass-produced alternatives.
- Higher Resale Value: Custom vanities often boost the overall look and perceived value of your home, especially in key rooms like bathrooms.
Design Elements to Consider
Designing custom vanities for bathrooms is a creative process. Here are some of the most important features to think about:
1. Size and Layout
Start by considering the size of your bathroom and how many people use it. A double vanity may be ideal for a shared space, while a petite single vanity is perfect for a powder room. You can also choose from floating vanities (which are wall-mounted) for a modern feel, or freestanding furniture-style vanities for a more traditional look.
Don’t forget to account for door swings, drawer clearance, and how the vanity fits in relation to your toilet and shower.
2. Storage Options
Think beyond basic cabinets. Custom bathroom vanities can include pull-out organizers, built-in laundry hampers, tray dividers, and even charging stations for electric razors or toothbrushes. Smart storage makes your space look neater and work harder.
Also consider integrating features like soft-close hinges, hidden outlets, or tiered drawers to help you stay organized and efficient.
3. Countertop Materials
From natural stone like marble or granite to engineered quartz and solid surface options, your countertop sets the tone for the entire vanity. Consider how much maintenance you’re willing to do and choose a surface that fits your lifestyle.
Matte, glossy, veined, or smooth—there’s a texture and finish that complements your overall vision.
4. Sink and Faucet Configuration
Undermount, vessel, or integrated sink? Single or double? Wall-mounted or deck-mounted faucet? These choices affect both the look and function of your vanity, so think about how you use your bathroom each day.
Pro tip: Consider a single faucet hole if you want to keep things simple, or widespread faucet spacing for a more luxurious look.
5. Finishes and Hardware
The final details make a big impact. Choose a wood finish that complements your tile and wall color. Add hardware that reflects your overall style—sleek and modern, rustic and warm, or classic and elegant.
Changing hardware down the road is an easy way to refresh the look without a full remodel.
Styles to Inspire You
With a custom bathroom vanity, you can explore endless style options. Here are a few ideas to get inspired:
- Modern Minimalist: Clean lines, floating design, slab fronts, and neutral tones. Perfect for a sleek, uncluttered space.
- Traditional Elegance: Raised-panel doors, detailed moldings, and rich finishes like espresso or cherry.
- Rustic Farmhouse: Reclaimed wood, matte black hardware, and open shelving offer a cozy, lived-in feel.
- Coastal Chic: Soft painted finishes like seafoam or pale blue, beadboard paneling, and natural wood countertops.
- Transitional: A mix of classic and contemporary, transitional styles offer balance with timeless appeal.
- Industrial Urban: Think exposed hardware, darker finishes, and raw materials like concrete and metal—great for loft-style living.

Planning Ahead: Things to Keep in Mind
When designing custom vanities for bathrooms, it’s important to plan ahead. Here are a few questions to help you get started:
- What do I love (or dislike) about my current vanity?
- How much storage do I really need?
- What materials match the rest of my home’s design?
- Do I want to include lighting or mirrors as part of the vanity design?
- What’s my budget, and where am I willing to splurge?
By answering these questions up front, you’ll make smarter decisions and avoid design regrets later on.
Custom Vanities: A Smart Investment
Bathrooms are among the most used spaces in a home—and the most scrutinized during a resale. Custom vanities for bathrooms don’t just make your daily routines easier; they also increase the value of your home.
Because they’re tailored to your space and needs, custom bathroom vanities help reduce clutter and make the room feel more luxurious. And when designed with quality craftsmanship, they last longer and stay beautiful through years of wear.
They also make a big first impression. Buyers walk into a bathroom and notice immediately whether the vanity is just “okay” or something special. A beautiful vanity can be the feature that makes someone fall in love with your home.
