Building a dream bathroom isn’t easy. Even if money weren’t an issue (which, of course, it is), it’s difficult to find fixtures that you like, that work in your space, and that everyone will agree on. This is especially true of bathroom vanities (which, if we’re being honest, come in a whole lot more varieties than your bathtub or shower!). Maybe you love the look but it’s too wide or to narrow; maybe you wish it had more drawers, or a matching storage cabinet or medicine cabinet; maybe you were just hoping for a different color. With most bathroom vanities, one style in one size is all you get. But Empire Industries has gone out of their way to build bathroom vanity collections that are both flexible and complete, with a variety of size, color, and design options for every style, as well as a variety of add-ons and accessories.
Size
One of the most frustrating things about shopping for a new bathroom vanity collection, and one reason that many homeowners opt for custom built cabinetry is that it’s just plain difficult to find a vanity you like in the size you need. This is true of big bathrooms and small ones alike. Whether you need to furnish a large area or cram a lot of storage into a small space, it isn’t easy to find bathroom vanities that do exactly what you need. Empire addresses this issue directly, offering customizable vanities that range from a lean 20″ all the way up to huge 72″, often in the same basic design, like their extensive Priva collection. More than that, some of their vanities are deeper or shallower than others, and many come with detachable feet, so you can even adjust the height, making an out of the box bathroom vanity infinitely more customizeable.

Color
Chances are, you have a decent idea of what color bathroom vanity you want before you ever start looking. White is a logical choice for a cottage style bathroom, while various wood tones each offer their own unique personality. But narrowing by color first is a great way to eliminate a lot of other possible features, since most bathroom vanities only come in one color. Again, Empire looks to rectify this problem by offering nearly all their bathroom vanities in at least two colors. That means that if you find one of their vanities you love in every way but the color, you can probably find the exact vanity in a color that better suits your space. This Windsor collection, for example, is available in seven different colors (as well as five different widths and two different depths).
Configuration
Personally, one of my biggest frustrations when choosing a bathroom vanity – especially one on the smaller side – is that the storage options are never quite designed the way I want them. Everyone uses their vanity differently, and everyone has different toiletries, which means that there’s really no one universally perfect configuration. How much drawer space, cabinet space, and shelf space you want really depends on your personal needs. Empire addresses this with bathroom vanity collections like the Daytona collection, a set of simple, minimal modern bathroom vanities that not only range from 21″-72″, but are also available in regular and wall mounted designs, with many several different configurations of large and small drawers, cabinets, and shelves, to custom fit the storage to your specifications.
Vanity Tops And Sinks
Custom built bathroom vanities, and even the majority of pre-made vanities, don’t come paired with vanity tops. Whether you choose a stone, tile, or laminate top, you’ll need to find it and have it cut to fit and installed on your own, which can be difficult and expensive. But those bathroom vanity collections that do come bundled with vanity tops often have an extremely limited selection of colors and types of stone – rarely more than one or two, meaning the look you get is limited to what they give you. Empire seeks to combat this, offering dozens of options, from integrated ceramic vanity tops and sinks to a whole slew of natural stone designs. Better still, each one is cut to fit the vanity you choose, and can even be paired with different shaped and colored sinks.
Storage And Medicine Cabinets
More frustrating still is when you find exactly the perfect bathroom vanity – the right size, shape, and color with exactly the right kind of storage… and it doesn’t have any matching furniture. Linen cabinets, tank topper or over-the-toilet cabinets, and medicine cabinets are all an important part of building a convenient, usable bathroom, but many manufacturers don’t design these items to pair with their bathroom vanities. Empire, on the other hand, has many multiples of each, designed to match their vanity collections and available in all the same finishes, so no matter what vanity you choose, it’s easy to add on any or all of the extra pieces you want.
Add On Accessories
More than that, Empire seeks to build a comprehensive collection, including not only bathroom vanities and other furniture, but many of the smaller pieces of hardware that often have to be purchased separately from different manufacturers. Towel bars, shelves, and robe hooks as well as more novel items like wall-mounted toothbrush holders and soap dishes are all coordinated across their collections. This makes it easy to get a stylishly unified look, and saves you having to match metal finishes from one brand to another.
If you’re having trouble finding a bathroom vanity you like, or if you’re struggling to find a comprehensive bathroom vanity collection, give Empire a try. The same old struggles often don’t apply – with these elegant bathroom vanity combos, you might even find yourself building your whole bathroom in one go.
