Why Wood Is Still The Preferred Bathroom Vanity Material
The most primitive bathroom vanity created was most likely made from natural hardwood. It was so widely used because it is sturdy and it is easy to manipulate for a truly sophisticated finish. Wooden materials are also perfect in making both a single basin vanity and a double bathroom vanity, and real woods are just gorgeous when mixed with elegant sinks and basins made from several unique materials. Even more, the wide variety of wood materials caters to every budget range, making it quite affordable and even more intriguing for any potential buyer.
Popular wood vanities are so well-regarded because they are quite visually stunning, and they are also very versatile This material is suited for modern or traditional themes, with rustic or sleek aesthetics - whatever look you want for your bathroom. To really have this work out, though, you should know the distinctive wood types, including their characteristics and maintenance needs. Once you've established the beauty of the wood, let this guide your decisions on other vanity materials, especially for your vanity accents.
Classic looks are easy to pull off with the use of light woods like birch and pine. This will give your bathroom a warm, homey feel but with a hint of elegance. Traditional styles, like the classic European style, also carry an old world charm to it. It is usually made of dark wood tones, such as mahogany, cherry and hickory, and the countertops are white, made of marble or granite. If you go for handcrafted traditional vanities, you will enjoy their ornate motifs and detailed floral designs for that indispensable antique look.
A modern themed bathroom can use a rustic wooden vanity that has dark stained wood with swirls of organic grains on its surface and a white drop sink. Solid birch vanities that are painted or stained in a dark tone, with an accompanying tempered or frosted glass countertop and vessel sink, is a truly attractive and quite popular look. This is common in middle to high-end establishments for its stylish but simple look. Many modern vanity styles are built specifically to be space efficient, and so they are often found in small bathrooms. These are pedestal bath vanities, constructed in oak wood but with nickel stainless steel tower bars.
Wooden bath vanities come in different wood variations, and some useful knowledge about the different wood materials will guide you to buying a durable bathroom vanity. Oak is popular because it has a classic earthy look that is conventional but rich. For a richly grained and robustly colored wood, consider investing in mahogany, which is a bit more costly than oak. To make sure your wood vanity stays beautiful for a long time, you should clean it and polish it with regularity.
Other wood varieties are available and are frequently selected by furniture buyers. Maple and cherry woods are also used frequently in vanities - the former because of its durability and susceptibility to warps, cracks and rots, while the latter is popular for carved bathroom vanities. For more exotic and upper-end woods, there is the mahogany, walnut and ebony woods to choose from. Lesser quality woods, such as the medium-density fiberboards, are used as back panels for plumbing.
Purchasing a good quality vanity is especially important for bath furniture because of its exposure to water. Wood is an organic material, so it decays over time unless you keep moisture out. Indeed, wood rot is by far the most common damage to wood furniture, and it is caused by humidity as opposed to termites. To avoid this, make sure to keep a dry but ventilated home so moisture does not collect. You should purchase wood vanities that are sealed to resist moisture damage. The wooden cabinets in vanities made in oak, maple, walnut and cherry wood are best when finished with urethane to prevent moisture.
The material wood is not just used to make antique bath vanity where craftsmen carve designs on. Using wood is a common vanity feature for modern and antique vanity designs, as well as artistic themes. Its versatility is apparent when you see wood used in making both a single sink vanity and a double bathroom vanity. As long as the owner knows how to take care of wooden vanities, there is no problem with regards to its durability.
