I think those are your only two options for 72". I have order a 82" vanity through Omega/Dynasty which is comprised of: 2 33" sink bases each with side drawers and one 24" drawer base in between. Keep in mind that you loose about 5" of usable space for drawers (i.e. a 24" drawer base will have internal storage of about 19"). You re right it is important to center the sinks inside the drawer base. Ideally you want the sinks to be spaced further apart from each other. Try doing an elevation with graph paper of the different options. Masterbath has an online design tool that you may find helpful as well.

Wow! Thanks for all the great responses! Lukki, I've seen your vanity before and it's one of the reasons I don't want to give up my center drawers. I love that you brought out the center part and gave it more depth. chick, I have that saved in my inspiration file. I haven't figured out how to do it with the arched window but I'd LOVE LOVE to have something that gorgeous in the space. brush, I'd like a tilt out or pullout hamper but haven't figured out a good space for it. Ideally, I'd like not to have a hamper in the bathroom but realistically that's where it goes. suero, do you have any examples of what you mean? I've seen the wall mount but they seem to stick out so far and don't really look "clean". I think a partial recessed might be a great solution. orchid, I'd love it if you could email me some pictures itltrotatgmail.com obviously change at to @ My current cabinets are leaving and are VERY short. They don't even measure 30" high. I've considered going to kitchen height cabinets. You make a very good point about the load bearing studs. I hadn't thought that far. My luck would prove to have a stud in the way. I've wondered about the drawer/door sink bases but wasn't sure how they worked with a sink being centered? And do they have to be centered? jeannie, honestly the bench is for pure laziness. We currently have a wicker bench in the bathroom and it's been wonderful to sit on. I thought it'd be nice to be able to retain some sort of seating besides the toilet. I had not thought of doing a built-in bench with storage! That would be added benefit. I hope the cabinets/linen storage in the water closet will be able to hold additional cabinet stuff. It's going to be at least 12" deep and 36" wide. Not the biggest but what I have to work with space wise. I've never had a make up area and have always just sat on the vanity to apply my make up. I don't wear much and only takes a couple minutes so I fear it would be a wasted space and only added for potential resale value. prickly, I've considered the tall cabinet option too. I flip flop back and forth. I'd love the hidden hamper and more storage is never a bad thing. It is only the two of us and we don't have to much laundry. DH actually leaves his dirty clothing in the laundry room most of the time. I had contemplated putting a train rack towel holder about the bench. Only reason I drew it with the 24" door is because our bathroom door is only 24". I thought maybe they should match? It can easily be changed. And I do agree the 24" work but feels tight at times. I too love the pivot mirrors. I have one rectangular one I've been holding on to for some time thinking I'd find it's match but think it's a lost cause. Dad bought it at Lowes 5-6 years ago. The other thing that has me stumped is where to place towels and robes?

We are redoing our bathrooms and plan on putting double sinks in the 72 inch vanity (master bath) and a single sink in the 48 inch vanity (hall bath). I agree that you will want the counter space more than an extra sink. Even in our 72 inch vanity our contractor suggested we do not install rectangular sinks and use oval because of the extra couple of inches.

The scale on your drawing is making my head spin - if the vanity is almost 6' wide, the ceiling must be almost 12' high! And the vanity as shown looks to be 4-1/2 feet tall. Are you completely stuck on having 2 sinks? I have a 6' vanity with one sink, and I love the counter space and drawer space it provides. DH and I rarely need to use the sink at the same time - in 33 years of marriage we have never lusted after a second sink. If you had one sink, you could have 2" of filler, an 18" drawer stack, a 24" sink cabinet, and a 24" drawer stack, with a couple more inches of filler on the other side. I realize it is not symmetrical, but I doubt you could get that with stock cabinets (without a lot of filler). Or, if your sink will fit in an 18" cabinet, you could get 24" drawers on each side.
