When only a single-sink vanity will do — in small, guest and kids' bathrooms — there are still an abundance of designs that don't sacrifice storage space or style.
Modernize your bathroom with of-the-moment metallics. Gold hardware and light fixtures add contemporary glamour to this streamlined white vanity. A small built-in shelf houses all your morning and evening essentials, keeping the countertop clutter-free.
Have fun with your vanity by opting for a completely unexpected shade. This glossy hot pink vanity brings an explosion of color to the bright white bathroom. Clad in a chunky but clean-lined white countertop, the vanity features playful U-shaped knobs and pulls.
Create an interesting and stylish design by working with contrasting elements. Black-and-white wallpaper in a striking foliage print juxtaposes against the natural wood vanity in this organic contemporary bathroom. Linear sconces, along with well-chosen accessories, bring in modern geometrics.

Neutral hues are a timeless option to instantly brighten the bathroom. Here, a light oak vanity pops against sparkling white walls while cane detailing on the cabinet’s face gives added flair.
Classic blue-and-white wallpaper makes a bold statement in this traditional bathroom. Furniture-inspired vanities, such as this natural wood piece topped in marble, deliver timeless appeal, and chrome accents — from the sconces to the faucet — generate a reflective shine.
A slate blue floating vanity adds just the right amount of pizzazz to this otherwise neutral bathroom. Matte black fixtures, a round mirror and a wooden accent wall contrast beautifully with the vanity to create a bright, modern space.
Small baths can still be big on style. Here, designer John McClain created an accent wall with glazed green tile installed in a herringbone pattern that serves as a stunning backdrop for a large, single sink vanity. A thick marble countertop and chic brass accents combine to create a luxurious addition to the space.
This traditional romantic setting is ready for relaxing at the end of a hard day. Elegant detailing dresses the vanity while subtle distressing adds a timely vintage aesthetic. In place of an antique buy, an ornate border is painted around a simple mirror — a clever and budget-friendly idea.
At times your vanity is the centerpiece of your space, while other times it's the balancing act. Light blue penny round tiles and lively floral wallpaper are a captivating combo in this bathroom. To offset the abundance of patterns, a simple white vanity is chosen. Delicate pink knobs pick up the subtle blush hue of the wallpaper.
The powder room’s freestanding white vanity has a rustic wood framed mirror and 3-light vanity light for illumination above. Sophisticated black walls with a subtle softness provide a dramatic backdrop and add moody style to this chic space with a Western flavor.
