Building a life with someone else is a magical thing. Doing whatever possible to make living together a good experience on both sides is essential to a happy, long-term partnership. One way of going about this is to think about the ways that both sides have access to personal space. If you and your beloved have been sharing a bathroom sink up until this point, it might be time to consider a double vanity as a more sustainable solution. Here’s why this is a good idea, and how to go about designing the perfect bathroom to elevate your home space in the near future.

The Practical Benefits of Double Vanities

Double vanity bathrooms are ideal for people who have busy, often conflicting schedules and routines. They allow both parties to use the space at the same time, rather than having to coordinate very carefully when it comes to a morning routine. Two sink areas also create ample space for beauty and grooming products, decluttering the bathroom and creating a more relaxed, if not minimalistic environment. Competing for the space will be a thing of the past, with clear boundaries on which areas are for which of the pair.

Increasing the Value of the Space

On top of the practical considerations already mentioned, double vanity bathrooms also add literal value to the home. A double sink makes the house a more attractive prospect should you consider offering it as a rental or selling it altogether before moving into another one. Because bathrooms are used multiple times a day, people tend to gravitate towards the most practical options. The added touch of class brought on by the double vanity can be carried through to the design of the rest of the house too, allowing for a unified look and feel across all the rooms in the space.

The Design Process

When it comes to designing double vanity bathrooms, it’s important to be practical without skimping on aesthetic appeal. This starts with calculating the amount of space you have to work with. Each basin should leave roughly 45 to 60cm of space for the user to work with. The number can be increased depending how wide the entire unit should be. This is a moderate enough amount that is workable in most medium-sized bathrooms. Bigger isn’t necessarily better, but consider that fraction of space it should take up relative to keeping the rest of the space fully functional in a way that doesn’t create unnecessary hurdles for either user.
