I have a pedestal sink in my powder room and am replacing it with a vanity for storage. Even just a place for extra toilet paper would be great. But it also had no deck space even for a bottle of hand soap. My toilet/sink wall is 5-2, and we debated whether to use a 24 or 30 inch vanity. We decided the 24 would be better since I did not want the vanity right up against the wall. We also decided on an 18" deep vanity to keep it as small as possible, so not to overwhelm the space. And we opted to replace our toilet with a wall mounted toilet to make it seem more roomy. It will only project 21" from the wall. Your room is a little bigger, If you center the toilet on 34" of wall space (30" is minimum code, 36" is ideal), you will have 31" for a vanity, so you could easily do a 30" vanity. And there are some that come in sizes like 26 or 28.

Thank you all for your suggestions and pictures. billl - good point about the dust collecting strips - I agree either against the wall or room for cleaning between. enduring - thanks for the link, although I think my architects violated most of the suggestions - they seem to be more form over function - but it's only the powder room - our bathrooms were designed and built in 1939 - so of course they violate most of the suggestions too. Good luck with your reno pricklypearcactus - I'm meeting with the GC and finish carpenter to discuss a built-in. I was thinking if it had 3 drawers and feet instead of the standard cabinet doors, it would look more like furniture even if it is built in. In the case that I go with RH - how do you like the quality? kfhl - thank you so much for pointing out the baseboard issue. I completely forgot that. mydreamhome - it's a renovation, but we're bumping into what was our original attached garage. Unfortunately the plumbing is already installed. But, give that the door hinge is on the opposite side of your hinge, I think you'll never see in the room from the entry - only from the mud room. nini - lovely vanity and I absolutely love the black granite w/white bowl look - but it would end up being the fanciest piece of furniture in our entire house :) Does the black granite show a lot of waterspots?

What about the bar pulls on the 4 larger drawers and a knob on the two smaller ones? It would cut your expenses, plus solve the dilemma of different size bars. I just looked for my inspiration pics on knobs/pulls for my bath remodel, but I must have deleted. With apologies for yet again posting pics of my vanity....this is what I did. Not exactly the same set up as yours, but you can at least see what I mean. The small drawers are just false fronts on really long drawers, just to visually break up that too long expanse.

hello! i am having a design dilemma with thinking about my powder room. this is a room i wanted to have a little fun in, but don't want to look like i just threw super random things together. we are going to do a stainless steel vanity base and i am now searching for a faucet...am i going too far out there to think brass could look good? or should i stick to something like polished chrome/polished nickel? faucet will be wideset with cross handles (ceramic center Hot/Cold) . other room details: floor: 2x2 calacatta gold hexagon tile vanity top: colorado yule marble (white with very slight warm gray/brown veining...will be mostly white) walls: possibly reclaimed wood as an accent wall picture of vanity base below
