Useful drawers
Plumbing takes up room inside the cabinet. Check how much storage is left and whether the drawers open without hitting anything.
Storage and surfaces
Bathroom vanities, storage, and tile
Replace a worn-out sink cabinet, find room for everyday essentials, and give the bathroom a new look with tile you love.
Bring your ideas, or just tell us what isn’t working in the room.
Make room for everyday life
Tired of a cluttered counter?
A vanity is the cabinet and sink you use every day. The right one gives you useful storage while leaving enough room to move around the bathroom.
Start with what needs a home: towels, toiletries, cleaning supplies, or two people’s morning essentials. Drawers and cabinet space should fit the way you live.
Bigger is not always better. A deep cabinet or a second sink can take away walking space. Measurements help you compare the options.
New tile can change the whole feel of the room. Think about how it looks, how it feels underfoot, and how much cleaning it needs.
Changes to consider
- A new cabinet with one or two sinks
- Drawers and shelves for everyday storage
- A new counter, sink, and faucet
- Fresh tile on floors, walls, or in the shower
- A mirror and lighting that work with the new cabinet
Ideas to borrow
Storage can look good, too
Look at the details you’d use every day: a useful drawer, a clear counter, or tile that brings the room together.

Finding the right fit
Choose around the room you have
You don’t need a shopping list yet. These are the details to work through first.
Room around the sink
Think about washing your hands, reaching the faucet, and setting down everyday items. A good-looking sink still needs to be comfortable to use.
Tile you can live with
Compare samples, grout colors, and cleaning needs. The floor or wall underneath also needs checking before new tile goes on.
A mirror you can use comfortably
Choose the mirror and lights together so you can see clearly at the sink and reach nearby switches and outlets.
Getting started
Find the fit before you buy
Explain the storage problem
Tell us what ends up on the counter and what you wish had its own place.
Measure and compare
Check cabinet sizes, door openings, plumbing, and room to walk past.
Choose the look
Bring together cabinet, counter, tile, and handle samples. Confirm the price and availability before ordering.
Check the finished result
Try the drawers and doors, check the sink and faucet, and ask how to care for the new surfaces.
Vanity and tile questions
Questions about cabinets and tile
Do I need a custom vanity?
Not always. A ready-made vanity may fit your room and budget. A custom cabinet can help with an awkward space, but it may take longer and cost more.
Do I need to choose tile before getting in touch?
No. You can start with a color you like or a photo for inspiration. Measurements and a check of the room come before ordering.
Can the sink and toilet stay where they are?
Often, yes. Keeping plumbing in the same place may make the work simpler. The new cabinet still needs to leave room for doors and for moving around.
Should I keep some spare tile?
Spare matching tile can be useful for a future repair. The amount to order depends on the pattern, cuts, and room size, so check the quantity before buying.
