Finding Vintage Vanities to Create Warmth and Comfort
Most Pinterest boards and Youtube style guides for bathrooms tend to feature modern and chic decor and furnishings. But oftentimes, classic pieces can be overlooked. Whether you're trying to install a new 36 in bathroom vanity or upgrade to a 40 inch bathroom vanity, it doesn't have to be encased in a modern style to look great and complement the style of the bathroom. Not to mention, where can you find pieces that look like the vanities of yesteryear? Here are a few suggestions for finding the perfect piece to your bathroom set that may look pleasantly out of place and time.
Most Online Retailers Now Sell Vintage Styled Furnishings
It's no secret that Amazon, Wayfair and other online retail kings provide home furnishings for every room in a home and then some. But in recent years they've started offering nostalgic and antique-inspired pieces as well. With the demand created by collectors and people looking to add a special touch to their homes, antique and vintage pieces bring a style and a sense of class all their own. A lot of places will also have reviews left by other customers that let you see how the piece was liked and if it matched up to expectations. If you're looking for something specific such as a 36 inch bathroom vanity with top, consider having it housed in a lovely distress wood or oak case shaped out of the Victorian era.
Local People Sell Their Own Antique Furnishings
With a ton of apps that let people advertise things to sell right out of their home, the endless choice of options and styles are enhanced by only having a short drive to go for them. Local people are now being able to advertise for things they'd like to sell, cutting out the middleman of any store and simply going straight to the seller. Also, in recent years sites like Etsy have been growing in popularity for crafty people to sell their own vanities they've custom made with a special vintage touch.
Brick and Mortar Stores Can Help You Find the Perfect Piece
Big chain stores may not quite store a large selection of vintage or antique styled vanities as the demand is more for traditional bathrooms, but local small shops and actual antique stores might have replica pieces that are perfect for what you need. With a little fixing up, cabinets or a dresser can be modified to be a perfect vintage vanity holding a lovely marble vessel sink in it.
It may take a little bit of legwork and some research but trying to find a great vintage, distressed or antique styled vanity piece to bring out the best in your bathroom is ten times easier and can be a lot of fun if searching for that special piece appeals to you. Take some time to look at what options are out there and you can be sure you're getting the best piece for you.
