Single vs Double vs Floating Vanities Compared

How single, double and floating vanities differ in storage, space, plumbing, cleaning and style.

A vanity sets the tone of a bathroom and decides how much storage you have. A single vanity suits most rooms. A double vanity gives two people their own sink. A floating vanity hangs on the wall and frees the floor. Homeowners in Nashville pick between them by looking at wall length, plumbing and the way the room is used each morning.

Double vanities need enough width for each person to stand and reach, and a long single sink with extra counter often beats two cramped bowls. Floating vanities make small rooms feel larger and need strong walls. Storage inside drawers can be more useful than shelves, so we plan the inside as carefully as the outside.

Often sixty inches or more, depending on the room. We measure and test layouts.

Yes, when mounted to blocking or a steel rail. We build the support behind the wall.
