If you watch any of the home improvement shows that are on 24 hours a day anymore, you will notice some new trends in bathroom design. Well, they may not be so much as new ideas, but throw backs to the past. A lot of the new bathroom vanities on the market are looking more and more like furniture, rather than a vanity. With clawfoot legs, decorative mouldings, and distinct architectural features, bathroom vanities are starting to blend in as bathroom furniture. With the amount of mass produced, generic products on the market, the consumers are searching for a custom, one of a kind look for the bathrooms.

Cabinet manufacturers are definitely listening. Most cabinet manufacturers that produce vanities have started creating whole lines of vanities that have all the bells and whistles to transform your bathroom. Many of the vanity lines, or collections as some of them are classified, will also feature linen cabinets, hampers, medicine cabinets, and mirrors to make sure that you can fill a half bath or a full master bathroom. While these vanities will provide a unique look, be prepared to pay for it because they are not cheap. Since they are classified into the custom cabinet group, a single vanity can cost as much as $1,000.... certainly not something that you would want to stick in a rental property!

Most of the designs are based off of old world looks. Beadboard panels, fluted columns, and hand carved wood are some of the highlights that separate them from the lower end stock cabinets. While some of the home improvement places have started carrying these types of vanities, the best place to find them is still online. By searching on-line, you can find the small manufacturers or wood workers that really put their heart and soul into the pieces.

So if you are looking for that unique look for your bathroom, or want to return a bathroom to a by-gone era, consider searching for custom bathroom vanities.
