Double Sink Vanity With Makeup Counter

In this post, I'm going to share with you the details of my master bathroom vanity with makeup area design and some ideas of how you can design the perfect master bathroom.

For me, a master bathroom vanity with makeup area was #1 on my list!

MASTER BATHROOM DESIGN

First, before you read this, you should jot down 3 things that are most important to you in a master bath. Also, ask yourself, what is your favorite feature in your current bathroom and what is one thing you would change?

I'll quickly share with you my answers to both those questions but keep in mind, the three things that are most important to me are not the most important to my husband so this is a joint list of our three most important things:

Separate toilet room (ie water closet)
Fancy faucets in the shower
Large sized shower

Now, really quick, since I spend a lot more time in the bathroom, a few additional things that were important to me:

Make up vanity! I have always dreamt about having one of these
Lots of storage – practical and functional
Gorgeous finishes

My favorite thing about my prior bathroom was a large vanity with double sinks and my least favorite thing about my prior bathroom was that the shower was too small.

MASTER BATHROOM Inspiration

As I begin thinking about designing any space, I go to Pinterest. I create a board and start searching for ideas!

See my board here.

This board is full of lots of design, décor, style & organization tips!

master bathroom budget

Setting a budget is an important first step when planning a master bathroom – even if there is no budget, you admit that is the case. But if you are like me and most others, you do need a budget. Bathrooms can be expensive but there are also ways to save money along the way too.

Master bathroom Floorplan

Your first step will be to decide on a floor plan. We actually changed ours part of the way through the build process. A wall and a door had to be relocated! Here you can see the double sink vanity with makeup area on the floorplan where is says K.S.

Master bathroom vanity with Makeup area

As I mentioned before, the double sink vanity with makeup area was one of the most important items on my list! I was all about the makeup vanity!

Ours was custom designed with the help of our bathroom cabinet company, but when it came time to design it, I was surprised that I could find very little guidance out there on bathroom vanities with makeup areas!

I didn't realize it at the time but they were just at the beginning of their trend.

Here are a few ready to order bathroom vanities with makeup areas:

I had questions like, should it be lower than the rest of the counter? If yes, what height should the counter top be?

Ultimately, I took a chair into my current bathroom vanity and measured the height of a normal stool and made sure that there would be ample room for my legs, also ensuring to account for the drawer underneath the countertop.

Bathroom Makeup Vanity Ideas

Here is what we used for our custom master bathroom vanity with makeup area to give you some ideas!

Master bathroom countertops

We actually found our piece of quartz at a distributor who had lots of remnants. Remnant means that someone bought the slab but had some leftover and you can buy the leftover piece at a discounted price. We did this for all our bathrooms which saved us a lot of money! We did decide to do the backsplash.

master bathroom Cabinet hardware

It is OK to mix metals between your fixtures and hardware. We didn't for our bathroom but I have seen tons of other bathrooms that I love that do this!

Put them all together to make sure you like them.

We have all polished chrome!

master bathroom Mirrors

Truth be told the first few months of living in our home, we were using our arched guest bathroom mirror.

I was inspired by a similar master bathroom floorplan I saw on Pinterest and searched for similar mirror options at all different places. After scouring the internet, I wasn't able to find something tall enough so I ended up getting a custom set of mirrors. I got 3 custom sized mirrors from delta glass.

Then I went with this super easy mirror transformation option from Mirror Mate. I ordered 4 different sample options. I absolutely love the gray silver color that I went with called Highline Slim Silver Patina Frame. Perfect compliment to the Carrara Lazza quartz.

Master Bathroom Faucets

We went with a modern polished chrome. They of course were Pinterest inspired and are really pretty in person.

Master Bathroom Lighting

Pick lighting that will be bright and complimentary to your space. We planned to do sconces from the start. They were prewired which made installation very easy!

Master Bathroom Make Up Vanity Stool

A vanity stool is the perfect finishing touch to your master vanity with makeup area. It can add character, depth and even a fun pop of color!
