On the hunt for small vanities for your bathroom? These are my 12 favorites!
When I remodel a bathroom with a pedestal sink, nine times out of ten I replace it with a small vanity. There are so many reasonably priced, stylish options out there and it’s nice to have the storage space they provide too. Today I’m sharing the small vanities I’ve used for bathroom remodels in the past plus other favorites I found in my search! (commissionable links included in post; see my full disclosure statement {here})
In our current home, we remodeled this powder room that had a pedestal sink. The sink was not only dated, but it wasn’t at all functional either with even the skinniest soap pump on it, you couldn’t turn the faucet handle on and off without it being in the way:
Here’s that same space after our remodel, which included adding a small bathroom vanity, wallpapering, and more:
Sources: Wallpaper | 2-Light sconce | Round rattan mirror | Vanity | Faucet (similar) | Woven soap pump | Towel ring (stainless) | Vanity baskets (large) | Toilet | Toilet paper holder (brushed gold) | Woven toilet tray (small) | Bird art print (18 x 24) with White wood frame (similar) | Waste basket covered with grasscloth wallpaper remnant
We used {this vanity} in navy blue (it also comes in white and gray) and have been super happy with it. It has two drawers with storage space for TP rolls and tissues:
along with room for towel storage in baskets on the bottom shelf:
You can see more pics of this space in my post on our shiplap powder room.
In our previous home, we had a similar situation with our guest bathroom. This is what it looked like when we moved in:
And this is what it looked like after we remodeled, adding a small vanity:
The exact vanity we used is no longer available but it’s super similar to {this small vanity}.
Want more suggestions for small vanities that are big on style? These are a few other favorites:
Vanity Sources: 1. 26″ Wood vanity with caning (26″) | 2. Gray vanity with shelf (24″) | 3. White vanity with arched base (30″) | 4. Blue vanity with gold hardware (24″ or 30″) | 5. Vintage green vanity with shelf (24″) | 6. White vanity with bottom drawer (30″) | 7. Wood vanity with black hardware (24″) | 8. Light gray two door vanity (30″) | 9.

I saw your beautiful blue living room rug. where did you get that one? Thanks!
Margot says
So many lovely things and ideas in this post! I like vanities 3 and 11. I like the simple timeless lines, the potential for hidden storage (for tp, tissues, and personal items), and the extra width that it sounds you were missing with the pedestal style.
Suzanne says
I have those same columns but two on each side entering dining room from living room. How did you know they weren’t structural?
Kris Jarrett says
I hired a structural engineer who came out to evaluate these four columns and two more we have off of our kitchen. Those two ARE structural and he was able to give me the details of what a contractor would need to do to support the ceiling so that the structural ones could be removed too.

Hi Kris….great post and thanks for listing sales at the more obscure stores. Really appreciate that. Had a quick question….what are the dimensions of your master bath shower niche? Total height?…width…and the placement of that middle shelf? looks as if the space on the bottom is shorter than the top space. Would REALLY appreciate your feedback. Your niche and bath is stunning! Many Many thanks!
Kris Jarrett says
Hi Gail – this post should have all the measurements you’re looking for: https://www.drivenbydecor.com/bathroom-measurements-towel-bar-toilet-paper-holder/

Kris. I love your decor and remodel ideas. We built a new house almost 3 years ago, and I started reading your blog after the build. I now have some regrets and would love to change some things but my husband wont permit it already. But just wanted you to know I love the articles. Good luck with NC home.

Kris,
Another wonderful and informative post. I love the outlet space saver. I’ve had issues such as this in almost every house I’ve lived in. This is great I also enjoyed the sale information. Thank you.
Your house in NC will be wonderful.
I vote for vanity #10, although there are several wonderful vanities in your selection list.

I really like the #11 vanity. I just found your site, and I’m so glad I did. Really enjoying it.

I wish I could see that one in person – I love the lines of it too!
Cristi says
Wow!!! The ultra-thin outlet cover w/power strip is the best gadget idea ever! I’m definitely putting one in my cart!
The Shark hand vac also looks awesome! Another item just added to my wish list!
Thank you so much for sharing!
Catherine says
I have been eyeing that ceiling fan with the acrylic blades (on Horchow – and available several other places). Have you purchased or heard anything about it? TIA! Always love and appreciate all of your recommendations!
Kris Jarrett says
I don’t know anyone who has it but I might end up getting it for our guest room – I’ll share what I think about it if I do!
Nancy says
I like #5 & 7. I like the drawers instead of doors. I do not share the enthusiasm for the large open areas in the lower section of vanities and bedside tables. Constant dust and clutter.
I can’t wait to see your fireplace. We completely removed the face of our basement fireplace and I have ideas, it’s just hard to get the insert people to cooperate right now.
Kris Jarrett says
Nancy I’m having the SAME issues – my hold-up is the fireplace people. I’m having the hardest time getting anyone to come out to my house about it!
Mary Ann Pickett says
Kris, I have the same iPod case! Just ordered your slim outlet…such a great idea. You are doing an excellent job beautifying the new house!
Kris Jarrett says
Thank you! It’s been a challenge to do from a distance – looking forward to being down there full time when I can really start knocking things out!
Kathy says
I absolutely love #7 vanity in blue!! But I equally love #1 and #5. Not sure how you will be able to chose, but you will because you’re a fabulous designer! Greetings from NC!
Kris Jarrett says
Thanks Kathy! XO
Patricia says
Thank you for such complete post! I love everything you are doing
Can you repost the link for the dryer? It seems to be the same as the washer. I am about to buy them too and I’s like to see what dryer you selected.
Kris Jarrett says
Sorry about that – I fixed it!
Eleanor Pella says
Kris- I like bathroom sink #7 because is the scallop detail!
Sharron Menninger says
Love the Karastan carpet. What color did you chose? thanks
Kris Jarrett says
It’s English Toffee 🙂
