Vanity Cabinet Styles
Choosing the right vanity cabinet style sets the tone for your entire bathroom design. The cabinet is the largest visual element in the vanity area, and it determines everything from the countertop dimensions to the sink type, storage capacity, and overall aesthetic.
Floating Vanities

Floating vanities mount directly to the wall with no legs or base touching the floor. This creates an open, modern look that makes the bathroom feel larger — particularly valuable in the smaller hall bathrooms and guest bathrooms found throughout Gilbert homes in communities like Power Ranch and Val Vista Lakes. The visible floor space beneath the vanity creates a sense of openness that a traditional floor-mounted cabinet can’t match.
Floating vanities require reinforced wall blocking during installation because the wall bears the full weight of the cabinet, countertop, sink, and anything stored inside. In older East Valley homes built on slab foundations — especially the 1970s and 1980s block construction common in Mesa — we verify the wall structure and install proper backing before mounting. A floating vanity installed without adequate wall support will eventually pull away from the wall, crack the countertop, and damage the plumbing connections behind it.
The space beneath a floating vanity also simplifies floor maintenance and gives you design flexibility. You can run your tile flooring continuously under the vanity for a seamless look, add LED undercab lighting for ambient illumination, or simply enjoy the ease of cleaning without having to work around cabinet legs and toe kicks.
Furniture-Style Vanities

Furniture-style vanities are designed to look like standalone pieces of furniture rather than built-in cabinetry. They typically feature decorative legs, ornate hardware, and design details borrowed from dressers, console tables, or antique washstands. This style works exceptionally well in Scottsdale homes where homeowners want a custom, high-end aesthetic that makes a statement.
The trade-off with furniture-style vanities is storage. The decorative legs and open lower sections that create the furniture look reduce the enclosed storage space compared to a traditional cabinet vanity. We help homeowners balance this by incorporating drawers into the upper portion of the vanity, adding a matching linen tower or storage cabinet nearby, or selecting a furniture-style piece with a lower shelf that provides some open storage while maintaining the aesthetic.
Built-In Vanities

Built-in vanities are custom-designed to fit your exact bathroom dimensions, extending wall to wall or fitting into alcoves and corners that standard pre-built vanities can’t accommodate. This is the most popular choice for master bathroom remodels across the East Valley because it maximizes every inch of available space and creates a seamless, intentional look that transforms the room.
We build custom vanity configurations using Sollid Cabinetry, which gives us flexibility in sizing, door styles, finishes, and internal organization. A built-in vanity can incorporate features that pre-built options simply can’t — angled corner cabinets that follow the room’s geometry, varied depths that accommodate plumbing offsets, integrated hamper pull-outs, built-in electrical outlets inside drawers for hair dryers and styling tools, and custom height adjustments for taller or shorter homeowners.
In homes throughout Chandler communities like Sun Lakes where accessibility matters, built-in vanities allow us to adjust counter heights, add wheelchair-accessible knee space beneath the sink, and install lever-style faucets — all while maintaining a design-forward look that doesn’t feel clinical or institutional.
Single to Double Sink Conversions
Gilbert, AZ convert one sink to two sinks. (Full bathroom remodel)
Converting from a single-sink vanity to a double-sink configuration is one of the most requested upgrades in East Valley master bathroom remodels. Two sinks eliminate the morning bottleneck, give each person their own dedicated space, and add resale value to your home. But the conversion involves more than simply swapping a narrower vanity for a wider one.
Space Requirements
A comfortable double vanity requires a minimum of 60 inches of width, though 72 inches is the standard that provides adequate counter space between and beside both sinks. In many East Valley master bathrooms — especially those in Tempe ranch homes from the 1950s through 1970s — the existing single vanity sits in a space that’s 48 inches or less. Converting to double sinks in these situations may require reconfiguring the wall layout, relocating the toilet, or rethinking the entire bathroom floor plan.
We evaluate the conversion feasibility during our initial consultation, measuring not just the wall width but also the clearance from the vanity to opposing walls, the toilet, the shower entry, and the door swing. Building code requires a minimum of 21 inches of clear floor space in front of the vanity and at least 4 inches between the edge of each sink and the side wall. These aren’t suggestions — they’re code requirements that must be met for the installation to pass inspection.
Plumbing Reconfiguration
Adding a second sink means adding a second set of supply lines and drain connections. In homes built on Arizona’s concrete slab foundations, the drain line is typically the most complex part of the conversion. The new drain must tie into the existing waste line at the proper slope — typically 1/4 inch per foot — and may require routing through the wall cavity or, in some cases, cutting into the slab to extend the drain line to the new sink location.
We coordinate all plumbing work through licensed plumbers who understand East Valley building codes and the specific challenges of Arizona slab construction. The plumbing rough-in happens early in the project timeline so that everything is inspected and approved before we install the vanity cabinet and countertop.
Electrical Considerations
A double vanity typically needs additional electrical — a second GFCI outlet between or beside the sinks, and potentially upgraded lighting to illuminate both sink areas evenly. We coordinate electrical work alongside the plumbing rough-in so both trades are completed and inspected before the finish phase begins. Our Buildertrend project management portal keeps you informed on exactly when each trade is scheduled and what’s happening every day.
Countertop Materials From AZ Tile

The countertop is both the most visible and most used surface in your vanity area. It needs to resist water, withstand daily use, and look beautiful for years. We install countertops from Arizona Tile and other premium suppliers, helping you select the right material for your design vision, maintenance preferences, and budget.
Quartz
Quartz is the most popular countertop material we install in East Valley bathrooms. It’s engineered stone — natural quartz crystals bound with resin — which makes it non-porous, stain-resistant, and virtually maintenance-free. Unlike natural stone, quartz never needs sealing. In Arizona’s hard water environment, that non-porous surface means mineral deposits wipe away easily instead of absorbing into the stone.
Quartz comes in a wider range of colors and patterns than any natural stone because the manufacturing process can create looks that mimic marble, granite, or concrete — as well as solid colors and custom patterns that don’t exist in nature. For homeowners who want the look of Calacatta marble without the maintenance, porosity, and etching concerns, quartz delivers that aesthetic with significantly better durability.
Quartzite
Quartzite is a natural stone — not to be confused with quartz, which is engineered. Quartzite forms when sandstone undergoes intense heat and pressure, creating one of the hardest natural stones available for countertops. It’s harder than granite, naturally heat-resistant, and features veining patterns that rival marble in visual impact. For Scottsdale homeowners who want a premium natural stone with real depth and movement, quartzite is an exceptional choice.
The trade-off is maintenance. Quartzite is a natural stone that requires periodic sealing — typically once a year — to maintain its stain resistance. It’s also more expensive than quartz or granite, both in material cost and fabrication, because its hardness makes it more difficult to cut and finish.
Granite
Granite remains a solid choice for bathroom countertops. It’s a natural stone with unique patterns — no two slabs are identical — and it offers excellent durability and heat resistance. Granite requires annual sealing to maintain its stain resistance, but with proper care it lasts decades. It’s available at a wider range of price points than quartzite, making it accessible for more budgets while still delivering a natural stone aesthetic.
Marble
Marble is the most luxurious countertop option and the most demanding to maintain. It’s softer than granite, quartz, and quartzite, which means it’s more susceptible to scratching, etching from acidic products like toothpaste and face wash, and staining from cosmetics and hair products. Marble requires regular sealing and careful daily maintenance.
That said, many homeowners — particularly in Scottsdale and Ahwatukee — choose marble specifically because of its character. The veining, the depth, the way it develops a patina over time — nothing else looks like real marble. If you understand and accept the maintenance commitment, marble creates a vanity area that feels genuinely luxurious.
Edge Profiles
The edge profile of your countertop makes a bigger visual impact than most homeowners expect. A simple eased edge creates a clean, modern look. An ogee edge adds traditional elegance. A waterfall edge — where the countertop material continues vertically down the side of the cabinet — creates a dramatic contemporary statement. A beveled edge or bullnose softens the visual line and feels comfortable to lean against. We bring edge profile samples to your design consultation so you can see and feel each option against your chosen countertop material.
Sinks
The sink style affects both the look and functionality of your vanity area. Each type installs differently, impacts countertop fabrication, and creates a distinct visual impression.
Undermount Sinks
Undermount sinks attach beneath the countertop, creating a smooth, continuous surface from countertop edge to sink basin. Water and debris wipe directly from the counter into the sink with no rim to catch residue. This is the most popular choice we install because it’s clean, functional, and works with every countertop material. We install undermount sinks from Kohler, Nel Lusso, and Baja — selecting the right brand based on your design style, bowl depth preference, and budget. Undermount installation requires a solid surface countertop — quartz, granite, quartzite, or marble — because the countertop edge is exposed at the sink cutout and must be finished and polished.
Vessel Sinks
Vessel sinks sit on top of the countertop like a bowl on a table. They create a dramatic visual focal point and work particularly well with furniture-style vanities where the sink becomes a design statement. Vessel sinks require a taller faucet — typically a single-hole vessel faucet — to clear the rim of the bowl. The counter height should be lowered to compensate for the added height of the bowl, keeping the overall sink rim at a comfortable working height. We calculate these dimensions during the design phase so the finished installation feels natural, not awkward.
Integrated Sinks
Integrated sinks are formed from the same material as the countertop — the sink and counter are one continuous piece with no seams, joints, or separate installation. This creates the cleanest possible look and eliminates any potential for water intrusion at sink-to-counter joints. Integrated sinks are most common in quartz and solid surface materials. They’re an excellent choice for smaller bathrooms where a seamless, uncluttered look makes the space feel larger.
Faucets
Faucets are the jewelry of the vanity area — the finish and style you choose ties together the entire design. We install Delta faucets as our standard because of their build quality, warranty support, and the breadth of styles and finishes they offer.
Faucet Styles
Widespread faucets have three separate pieces — two handles and a spout — mounted in three individual holes spaced 8 inches apart. They create a substantial, traditional look appropriate for larger vanity areas. Single-hole faucets combine the handle and spout in one compact unit, creating a clean, modern look ideal for smaller vanities and vessel sinks. Wall-mounted faucets extend from the wall above the sink, freeing up counter space entirely and creating a sleek, contemporary aesthetic that pairs beautifully with floating vanities and vessel sinks.
Faucet Finishes
The finish you choose should coordinate with your mirrors, lighting, cabinet hardware, towel bars, and accessories. Matte black is the most popular finish we install right now across the East Valley — it’s bold, contemporary, and hides water spots and fingerprints. Brushed nickel remains a versatile classic that works with virtually any design style. Champagne bronze has been trending heavily in Chandler and Gilbert homes, adding warmth without the yellow tone of traditional brass. Chrome delivers a bright, reflective finish that works particularly well in modern and transitional designs.
We recommend choosing your faucet finish early in the design process because it influences every other hardware and accessory selection in the bathroom. Once you’ve committed to matte black faucets, your towel bars, robe hooks, toilet paper holder, shower fixtures, and cabinet hardware should all coordinate. Starting with the faucet finish creates a cohesive thread that ties the entire bathroom together.
Mirrors
The mirror is the visual anchor of the vanity area. It’s typically the largest single element on the wall above the vanity, and its style, size, and placement influence how the entire space feels.
Framed Mirrors
Framed mirrors add structure and intentionality to the vanity wall. The frame material and finish should coordinate with the overall design — a matte black metal frame complements matte black faucets and hardware, a natural wood frame adds warmth to a transitional design, and an ornate gilded frame makes a statement in a traditionally styled Scottsdale master bathroom. For double vanities, two matching framed mirrors create a balanced, symmetrical look with a visual break between them that defines each person’s individual space.
Frameless Mirrors
Frameless mirrors create a clean, uninterrupted look that makes the vanity area feel more open. A large frameless mirror spanning the full width of the vanity reflects light across the room and visually doubles the space — a particularly effective technique in the compact bathrooms common in Tempe ranch homes where every inch of visual space matters.
LED Backlit Mirrors
LED backlit mirrors have become one of the most requested upgrades we install. They combine the mirror and lighting into a single element, casting even, shadow-free illumination across your face — ideal for grooming, applying makeup, and shaving. Many LED mirrors include dimming controls, color temperature adjustment from warm to cool white, and anti-fog heating elements. They create a high-end, spa-like feel that transforms the daily routine. LED backlit mirrors require electrical — we coordinate this during the rough-in phase alongside any other electrical work for the vanity area.
Medicine Cabinets
Recessed medicine cabinets combine mirror functionality with concealed storage. They’re built into the wall between studs, keeping the vanity area visually clean while providing storage for everyday items you want accessible but hidden. Modern medicine cabinets have evolved far beyond the basic metal boxes of the past — today’s options include soft-close doors, interior lighting, adjustable shelves, built-in electrical outlets for toothbrushes and razors, and mirrored interiors that make it easy to see what’s inside.
Lighting
Vanity lighting serves both functional and design purposes. Proper lighting eliminates shadows across your face, makes the room feel welcoming, and highlights the design elements you invested in.
Sconce Lighting
Wall-mounted sconces on either side of the mirror provide the most even, flattering facial illumination. Placing sconces at eye level — approximately 60 to 65 inches from the floor — casts light evenly across both sides of your face, eliminating the harsh shadows that overhead lighting creates. Sconces work beautifully with framed mirrors and add a decorative element to the vanity wall. For double vanities, three sconces — one on each side and one between the two mirrors — create balanced illumination across the entire area.
Overhead Vanity Bar Lights
A vanity bar light mounted above the mirror is the most common bathroom lighting configuration. It’s effective when paired with a large mirror that reflects the light downward and across the room. The key is selecting a bar light with frosted or opal glass that diffuses the light evenly rather than creating harsh bright spots. A bar light should span at least 75 percent of the mirror width for even coverage.
Undercab Lighting
LED undercab lighting mounted beneath the vanity cabinet creates a soft ambient glow that serves as both a design accent and a functional nightlight. It highlights the floor tile beneath a floating vanity, creates a sense of depth, and provides just enough light to navigate the bathroom at night without turning on the overhead lights. Undercab LEDs are low-voltage, energy-efficient, and typically installed with a dimmer so you can adjust the intensity. This is one of the most cost-effective upgrades we install — minimal labor, minimal materials, and a dramatic visual impact that makes the vanity area feel custom and high-end.
Backsplash and Accent Walls
A backsplash behind the vanity protects the wall from water damage and adds a significant design element to the vanity area. The space between the countertop and the mirror is a natural canvas for tile work that can completely transform the look of the room.
Backsplash Tile Options
A simple 4-inch backsplash provides basic wall protection with minimal visual impact. A full-height backsplash extending from the countertop to the mirror creates a more dramatic look and maximizes the waterproof surface area. For a statement design, we extend the tile all the way to the ceiling or wrap it around a full accent wall behind the vanity and mirror area.
Tile choices for vanity backsplashes range from classic subway tile for a clean, timeless look to marble-look porcelain for a luxurious feel, zellige tile for handmade character, penny round mosaics for texture, and large-format porcelain slabs for a seamless, modern look with minimal grout lines. We source backsplash tile from Arizona Tile and bring samples to your design consultation so you can see how each option looks against your chosen countertop, cabinet finish, and faucet hardware. When the vanity upgrade is part of a larger bathroom project, we coordinate the backsplash tile with your shower tile installation and shower installation for a cohesive design throughout the entire bathroom.
Accent Walls
Taking the tile beyond a standard backsplash and creating a full accent wall behind the vanity is one of the most impactful design choices in a bathroom remodel. A floor-to-ceiling tile accent wall frames the vanity area as the focal point of the room and creates a spa-like atmosphere that elevates the entire space. This approach works particularly well in master bathrooms where the vanity wall is the first thing you see when entering the room. We often pair accent walls with LED backlit mirrors and sconce lighting to create a vanity area that feels intentionally designed rather than simply functional.
Storage Solutions
Storage is the most practical element of vanity design and the one most often underestimated. A beautiful vanity that doesn’t hold everything you need creates daily frustration. We design vanity storage around how you actually use the space — not just how it looks in a photo.
Drawer Organizers and Pull-Outs
Custom drawer organizers turn a standard drawer into a dedicated space for every item — hair tools, brushes, cosmetics, razors, dental care, and medications all have assigned locations. Pull-out trays behind cabinet doors bring items at the back of the cabinet within easy reach instead of requiring you to crouch down and dig through stacked products. U-shaped pull-outs wrap around the plumbing beneath the sink, maximizing the storage in a space that’s typically wasted.
Linen Towers and Side Cabinets
A linen tower installed beside the vanity adds vertical storage for towels, toiletries, and supplies without consuming any additional floor space beyond its narrow footprint. When matched to the vanity cabinet in material and finish, a linen tower creates a built-in, custom look. In smaller bathrooms where a freestanding linen tower won’t fit, a narrow upper cabinet mounted to the wall beside the mirror provides additional concealed storage without encroaching on the room’s floor space.
For double vanity configurations with enough width, a center linen cabinet installed between the two sinks is one of the smartest storage upgrades we build. It gives each person their own defined side of the vanity while adding a full-height storage column in the middle — perfect for towels, toiletries, and shared items that both people need access to. The center cabinet also creates a natural visual divider between the two sink areas, giving the vanity a built-in, furniture-quality look that feels intentional rather than just two sinks sitting next to each other. We match the center cabinet to the vanity in door style, finish, and hardware so it reads as one cohesive piece.
Countertop Towers and Organizers
Countertop towers sit directly on the vanity surface and provide vertical storage without any wall mounting or cabinetry modification. They’re ideal for items you use multiple times a day — makeup, skincare products, hair tools, electric toothbrushes, and daily essentials you want within arm’s reach. Countertop towers come in open-shelf designs for quick access, enclosed styles with doors for a cleaner look, and rotating carousel designs that maximize a small countertop footprint. The key is choosing a tower that’s proportional to your counter space — too large and it overwhelms the vanity, too small and it doesn’t hold enough to be useful. We help homeowners evaluate whether a countertop tower, built-in drawer organizers, or a combination of both best solves their daily storage needs during the design consultation.
Open Shelving and Floating Shelves
Open shelves below or beside the vanity create accessible storage with a design-forward look. They’re ideal for rolled towels, decorative baskets, and frequently used items you want within arm’s reach. Floating shelves mounted on the vanity wall — between sconces or beside the mirror — add storage and display space without the visual weight of a full cabinet. The key with open shelving is discipline — they look beautiful when curated and cluttered when overfilled. We help you plan the right amount of open versus concealed storage so the finished bathroom stays organized daily, not just on installation day.
Accessories and Hardware
Accessories are the finishing touches that tie the vanity area together. Towel bars, robe hooks, towel rings, toilet paper holders, and cabinet hardware should all coordinate in the same finish as your faucet — this creates the cohesive, intentional look that separates a professional remodel from a DIY upgrade.
We install all accessories with proper wall anchoring. In Arizona homes with drywall over wood studs, towel bars in particular need to hit at least one stud or use heavy-duty anchors rated for the weight of wet towels being pulled. A towel bar that rips out of the wall six months after installation is one of the most common problems we see in bathrooms remodeled by less experienced contractors. Proper anchoring is the difference between accessories that last and accessories that fail.
Cabinet hardware — knobs and pulls — should be selected alongside your faucet finish but also sized appropriately for the cabinet doors and drawers. Oversized pulls on small cabinet doors look disproportionate. Undersized knobs on large drawers feel awkward to grip. We bring hardware samples to your design consultation and test them on your actual cabinet selections so the scale and proportion feel right before we order.
The Vanity Installation Process
Every vanity installation follows the same structured process we use on all our projects. From the initial consultation through final walkthrough, you know exactly what’s happening, when it’s happening, and who’s responsible.
Step 1: Design and Selection
We start with an in-home consultation to assess your existing bathroom layout, discuss your goals, and take detailed measurements. From there, our 3D Virtual Showroom lets you see exactly how different vanity styles, countertop materials, and configurations will look in your actual space. You’re not guessing from a catalog photo — you’re seeing your bathroom with your selections rendered in 3D before any work begins. We finalize all selections — cabinet, countertop, sink, faucet, mirror, lighting, hardware, and accessories — before scheduling the project.
Step 2: Material Ordering
Once your selections are finalized and the quote is approved, we order all materials — vanity cabinets, countertop slab, sinks, faucets, mirrors, lighting, and accessories. Semi-custom cabinets from Sollid Cabinetry typically require 4-8 weeks for fabrication. Countertop fabrication is scheduled after cabinet installation to ensure a precise fit. We coordinate all delivery timelines so everything arrives when needed.
Step 3: Demolition and Rough-In
We remove the existing vanity, countertop, mirror, and lighting. If the project involves plumbing reconfiguration — like a single to double sink conversion — the plumbing rough-in happens immediately after demolition while the walls are open. Electrical rough-in for new lighting, outlets, or LED mirrors is coordinated during the same phase. All rough-in work is inspected and approved before we close the walls.
Step 4: Installation
The vanity cabinet is installed and leveled first — this is critical because an unlevel cabinet creates cascading problems with the countertop, sink alignment, and door operation. The countertop is templated after cabinet installation to ensure a precise fit, then fabricated and installed. Sinks, faucets, and plumbing connections follow. Mirrors, lighting, and accessories are installed last. Our Buildertrend portal gives you a detailed daily schedule showing exactly what’s being done, by whom, and when — along with progress photos and direct communication with your project manager.
Step 5: Final Walkthrough
Upon completion, you and your project manager conduct a thorough final walkthrough using a detailed check-off sheet. We examine every area to ensure every aspect has been executed to satisfaction and completion. We provide care and maintenance instructions for all materials and finishes installed.
Timeline for Vanity Installation
A straightforward vanity replacement with no plumbing changes typically takes 3-5 days. A vanity replacement with countertop fabrication adds 1-2 weeks for templating and fabrication lead time. A full vanity area remodel including plumbing reconfiguration, electrical work, backsplash tile, and lighting typically falls within the timeline of a complete bathroom remodel at 4-6 weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bathroom Vanity Installation
How much does a bathroom vanity installation cost in the East Valley?
A basic vanity replacement with a new cabinet, countertop, and sink typically ranges from $3,000-$6,000 including labor and materials. A full vanity area remodel with custom cabinetry, premium countertop, plumbing reconfiguration, new lighting, and backsplash tile ranges from $8,000-$18,000 depending on material selections and scope. Single to double sink conversions that require plumbing rerouting fall toward the higher end. We provide detailed, itemized pricing during the design phase with no hidden costs.
Can I convert from a single sink to a double sink?
Yes, if the space allows. You need a minimum of 60 inches of wall width for a functional double vanity, with 72 inches being the standard for comfortable daily use. The conversion requires adding supply lines and drain connections for the second sink, which may involve opening the wall cavity or cutting into the slab depending on your home’s plumbing layout. We assess feasibility during the initial consultation and provide honest feedback on whether the conversion makes sense in your specific bathroom.
What countertop material is best for a bathroom vanity?
Quartz is the most practical choice for most homeowners. It’s non-porous, never needs sealing, resists stains from cosmetics and toiletries, and handles Arizona’s hard water without absorbing mineral deposits. Quartzite and marble offer more dramatic natural stone aesthetics but require annual sealing and more careful maintenance. We help you weigh the visual impact against the maintenance commitment during our design consultation.
How long does a vanity installation take?
A straightforward vanity swap takes 3-5 days. A vanity area remodel with custom countertop fabrication, plumbing changes, new lighting, and backsplash tile typically runs 2-4 weeks depending on scope and material lead times. Custom countertop fabrication alone requires 1-2 weeks after templating. We provide a detailed project timeline through our Buildertrend portal before work begins.
Are floating vanities strong enough to hold heavy countertops?
Yes, when installed correctly. Floating vanities require reinforced wall blocking — solid wood backing installed between studs — that bears the full weight of the cabinet, countertop, sink, and stored items. We verify the wall structure and install proper backing before mounting. A properly installed floating vanity supports quartz, granite, quartzite, and marble countertops without any issues.
What faucet finish is most popular right now?
Matte black is the most requested finish we install across the East Valley. It’s bold, contemporary, and practical — it hides water spots and fingerprints better than chrome or polished nickel. Champagne bronze is the fastest-growing trend, particularly in Chandler and Gilbert homes. Brushed nickel remains a safe, versatile choice that works with virtually any design style.
