Bathroom vanity unit with double sinks

30 replies

Hello,
I am looking for inspiration as getting fatigue with online google searches.
We are currently renovating and I am looking for bathroom fittings.
We have space for a double sink and am looking for some contemporary ones with decent storage and space between both sinks.
Have looked at bathstore, drench and victoria plumb and so far haven't liked anything.
Would be grateful for recommendations if any of you have recently gone through this exercise.

Thanks very much

What is the reason for double sinks?
Do people actually stand side by side and brush their teeth together etc?
I just don't get it. I want the bathroom all to myself and dp would irritate the hell out of me if he was stood at the sink next to me.

It means that I don't have to clean & dry the sink each time before I use it, so that bits of hair from shaving don't get in my contact lenses when I clean them.

IKEA.

Some great suggestions.
I'll take a look at all of them. Thank you!
We do have 2 local independent bathroom showrooms we are planning to visit for guidance.
I was always sceptical about double sinks as I don't share the bathroom.
We have one put by previous owners in the current en-suite and I love it now for some strange reason.
My space, my clutter, my territory :-)
We also have quite a big bathroom we are now getting so it would look out of place with a small vanity unit.

@rainstorm101

thank you… I got the vanity unit from Victoria Plum, sanded it lightly & sprayed with rustoleum all purpose primer (2 cans). Then I wiped it all down & sprayed it with rustoleum Matt black all purpose spray (2 cans, 2 light coats). That was it. I left a day between each coat and bought a trigger for my paint cans. After 3yrs on heavy use there isn’t a chip or scratch on it. I’m pleased with it. The build quality is good, I would buy it again for sure.

I did order a beautiful custom made vanity initially (£2,000+VAT +delivery) which arrived damaged. My own version came in well under £750. I will replace the taps when I can afford it as proper powder coated black taps didn’t exist back when I got them and the black ones I brought were not great quality in retrospect.
