There are varieties of marble top vanities for every taste, as they are they are available in many colors, and also come in a wide variety of veins, swirls, and crystal patterns. Marble vanities come in two types: natural and cultured. Natural marble is mined from many locations, worldwide. The stone appears white when pure, but various impurities may color the stone reddish, yellow, or green. Natural marble must be cut into desired sizes, since it difficult to split the stone uniformly. Cultured marble is generally made from limestone, which is formed from the same mineral as natural marble. Treating the limestone allows manufacturers to color, harden, and polish the stone; cutting limestone is also faster and easier for making custom sizes. Two types of marble are particularly popular. Carrara marble is white with gray streaks. The more expensive Calacatta Gold is brighter and has more variety in its color streaks, which usually appear brown or caramel.

You can find marble vanity tops in every price range, from under $250 all the way beyond $7000, depending on the cut, color, polish, and custom needs of your countertop, sink, or bathtub fitting. They are made to fit all sink styles whether under mounted, single or double vessel, or backsplash included. For bathrooms, marble polishing is recommended, since the wear-and-tear on a bathroom sink requires less maintenance for the marble than on a kitchen countertop. On kitchen countertops, beware of etching as food, juice, and other acid stains leave the marble looking dull with light spots as the polish is destroyed, even though polished marble is generally stain-resistant. Protect marble vanity tops in the kitchen with cutting boards and coasters to prevent long-term damage, as marble is expensive to restore or replace.

Marble tops are available at nationwide hardware stores like Home Depot, Lowe’s, and Ace Hardware. You can also find them at online retailers including Amazon, Overstock, Signature Hardware, and Nextag. Depending on the look you desire, consider using a custom marble manufacturer or a company that specializes in natural stone décor. These companies are more likely than popular retailers to have large varieties of both natural and cultured marble of higher quality, and with more natural intricacies that are unique to each slab and stone type. These retailers will often offer to install your pieces for you, advise you on how to best care for it, and provide the proper cleaning products for easy maintenance.

Nothing is as spectacular in a bath or kitchen as a natural or cultured marble vanity top. They provide elegance and sophistication in even a modest bathroom. There are plenty of options available in style and design as well as color in this versatile material.

Storage cabinets come in all shapes, sizes, and with many features available to you, depending on your budget, taste, and personal storage needs. For smaller bathrooms, available styles include types that fit in corners or are a vanity-and-cabinet combination. The corner styles efficiently take up unused space and several floor-to-ceiling types provide enough drawers or shelves to give plenty of storage for small items. For larger bathrooms, available styles include larger combined vanities and cabinets, to make as large a unit as you need. In some cases, combinations may provide enough space to forgo using a separate linen closet. Vanity styles usually fit under the sink and store items on shelves or in drawers. Higher-end vanities even come with glass doors, like on curio cabinets.

Smaller bathroom cabinets are available for less than $20, while larger vanity cabinets may cost up to several thousand dollars. High-end models are often made of higher quality materials such as natural wood, and/or metallic finishes including chrome, brushed aluminum, nickel, or gold alloys. Sometimes, they feature frosted glass doors, recessed panels, and adjustable shelving. They often require less assembly than cheaper counterparts made of particleboard or plywood.  Cheaper storage units, like those available at IKEA almost always require assembly, and are made more for functionality than for style. Moderately priced cabinets are available at most hardware and furniture stores, including Walmart, Target, Home Depot, IKEA, and Kmart. Pricier cabinets with luxury extras are available at Restoration Hardware, Pottery Barn, Lowe’s, and from online retailers including Premiere Vanities, Home Furniture Showroom.

You can find recessed medicine cabinets in a variety of styles, colors, shapes, and with updated features not found on older models. Choose a style and design that matches your personality, needs, and your bathroom design. Current models vary in size from the standard medicine cabinet size, to double-width models, and models featuring three panels. Newer models also come with wooden or metal frames, which you may use to match your other bathroom fixtures, or framed prints. Typically, medicine cabinets use a single swinging door, but sliding doors are increasingly common. Additionally, some recessed cabinets also come with built-in lighting, saving even more space.
An increasingly popular style is the Concealed Cabinet, which looks like and doubles as a picture frame for real pictures or prints. When installed, the cabinet is flush with the wall, like a mounted picture frame, as it contains your small bathroom items, just like an obvious medicine cabinet. The recessed cabinet model is best for both maximum privacy, and maximum functionality.

Prices for these cabinets range from $65 to more than $3000. Toward the high-end for recessed medicine cabinets is a model the size of a full-length mirror that is large enough to act as a linen closet besides as a holder for your small bathroom items. The main issue after purchasing is installation. Recessed cabinets are more difficult and painstaking to install than their surface mounted counterparts. Recessed cabinet installation required using a stud finder to fit the cabinet between studs; if the cabinet is larger than the space between studs, then bracing the wall is necessary to make the cabinet a perfect fit. Doing this often requires additional tools besides the hanging equipment that comes with the cabinet. Cutting into the wall also requires avoiding wires or plumbing behind the drywall. It may be best to consult a professional home improvement specialist, an HVAC contractor, or a cabinet installation professional to avoid costly mistakes.

Recessed medicine cabinets are available at many nationwide hardware stores including Ace Hardware, Home Depot, Lowes, and Restoration Hardware. Online retailers include Amazon, Overstock, Bathroom Source, and Faucet Direct.

Depending on the size of your bathroom, a recessed medicine cabinet is an excellent space-saving storage piece that helps alleviate the clutter of your small personal items, while fitting in seamlessly with your existing bathroom décor.
