Every bathroom is made better by the addition of a vanity. Vanities—which, at their core, are really just made up of sinks and mirrors—add functionality to any bathroom. They aid you in easily getting ready in the morning or even checking your reflection in the middle of a party.

But, sometimes one vanity simply isn’t enough. If you share a bathroom with someone else, you might crave your own getting-ready space. And even if you’re flying solo, maybe you just want to take full advantage of the space you have. In either case, a double vanity could take your space from good to even better.

Since double vanities can range immensely in terms of size and design, you should be able to find—or curate—one that fits right into your space. Scroll on to see 9 double vanity bathroom ideas that will have you craving a space designed for two.

01 Bring Out the Best in Your Space

Before adding anything to your space, you’ll want to take a good, long look at what you already have. If natural boundaries are already built into your space, let your vanity stretch from wall to wall. If you get a lot of natural light, be sure to work around your windows.

02 Invest in Good Lighting

Vanities aren’t just for hand-washing: they’re also for getting ready and checking your reflection, so good lighting is key.

Invest in statement lighting that looks good in your space, and that gives you all the light you’re looking for. You want your vanity to be pretty, but you also want it to be practical. Lighting a great place to strike a balance between the two.

03 Consider Your Entire Space

Your vanity doesn’t exist in a vacuum. Odds are, it makes up just one corner of your bathroom—so it needs to match the rest of your design.

Look for opportunities to add consistency and cohesion to your space. If your bathroom is lined with sleek black tiles, consider using a few matching accents in your vanity.

04 Make the Most of Your Space

Double vanities aren’t off-limits in small bathrooms. If you’re navigating a small space, look for creative ways to make the most of what you’ve got. A double sink will transform your vanity without adding much extra width, and if you spring for a wall-mounted option, you can save space under your sink, too.

05 Use Pendant Lights to Your Advantage

You don’t have to mount your lights on your wall—instead, you can hang them from your ceiling. This use of pendant lighting is a creative way to free up space, giving you more wall space to work with. Plus, it tends to look incredibly striking—and that’s always a plus.

06 Free Up Space With a Hovering Sink

A lot of sinks are built into cabinets that run all the way down to the floor, and this can be great for maximizing storage space. But, if you want to make your room feel a little bigger, you might be better off with a hovering option.

Many hovering sinks come attached to cabinets and drawers that give you plenty of space to store your stuff. Since they hover several feet above the ground, they can make your space look and feel a little roomier.

07 Treat Yourself to a Little Counter Space

When curating a vanity, many of us prioritize our sinks and our mirrors—and we completely neglect our countertops. But, ample counter space makes any bathroom more usable. Be sure to add it to your list of priorities and to treat yourself to a fair amount, if you have the space for it.

08 Use Statement Lighting to Frame Your Vanity

Many vanities boast lighting fixtures installed above mirrors, but sometimes, you’ll see lighting fixtures installed next to mirrors, instead. If you have the space for it, this can be a statement-making choice.

You can frame each mirror with two lights for a total of four, or you can frame both mirrors with two lights. The latter option will visually group your mirrors together, making your double vanity feel more like one solid unit.
