Bathroom Countertops
Bathroom countertops are a main part of your bathroom, aesthetically and practically. Bathroom countertops are subject to harm from water, toothpaste, shaving cream, hot curling irons, makeup, and much more. Luckily, you can find countertops that are both beautiful and durable. Countertop material and color options are endless, so make sure to take your time and choose what is best for your bathroom remodel.
Here are a few of the most popular bathroom countertop materials:
Natural Stone
- Options include -- granite, marble, soapstone, and limestone.
- Granite is the strongest and most commonly used stone in bathrooms.
- Available in a wide variety of shades and finishes.
- Can be expensive, but cost depends on color and finished stone’s origin.
- Must be sealed periodically because it is porous.
- Stone is better used in low traffic areas.
Solid Surface:
- Allows for integral sinks.
- Easy to clean.
- Available in countless colors.
- Is seamless, stain resistant and scratches are easily buffed out.
- Can be harmed by curling irons or other hot appliances.

Engineered Stone:

- Will children or adults be using the sink? For children, you can add a footstool at the base of the sink.
- Choose a material that is resistant to water damage (see section on “Bathroom Countertops”). Some common sink materials include stone, marble and stainless steel.
Faucets:
- Choose faucets that match the decor of your bathroom.
- Your faucet materials should be resistant to water damage such as rust.
- Not all sinks can accommodate every type of faucet, so make sure to choose a sink and faucet that work together.
- You can choose a single piece faucet which connects the hot and cold water outlets.
- You can choose a split set faucet which has separate outlets for hot and cold water.
Showers & Bathtubs
There are many choices when it comes to bathtubs and showers today. You have options when it comes to size, shape, material, color, etc. You must also consider the budget and amount of space you are working with. Bathtubs take up more room than showers but offer a more relaxing experience. If you have the room, there are several types of baths on the market to fit your lifestyle. You can pick a bath for one person or multiple people. You can also add jets for a spa like feel.
Maybe you aren’t a bath person and prefer a shower instead. Or maybe you have limited space in your bathroom and don’t have the space for a bathtub. Either way, showers come in many types and can be relaxing just like bathtubs. There are several types of showerheads to fit your preferences in water pressure. You can even find showers for your home bathroom that mimic steam rooms typically found in spas.
Bathroom Vanities
Bathroom vanities can often serve as the centerpiece of your bathroom, so choose something to fit your taste and needs. Traditional vanities often have a sink as well as a cabinet underneath. A mirror is also usually placed above the vanity.
Since your bathroom vanity is a high traffic area, make sure to choose a material that can endure everyday wear and tear. Vanity material should be easy to clean and maintain, and should match the style of the rest of your bathroom. When choosing a material for your vanity, follow the same information you used with choosing your countertop materials. You can choose natural stone for a classic look, or stainless steel for a modern one.
Vanities tend to get very cluttered with objects such as razors, shaving creams, bottles of lotion, toothbrushes, etc. You may want to add extra shelving next to your vanity to store these items.
Bathroom Mirrors
In choosing mirrors for your bathroom, try matching them to your vanity and lighting fixtures. For example, have the mirror frame material match the vanity. Here are some simple tips to consider when choosing mirrors for your bathroom:
- Your bathroom mirror should not be bigger than the vanity it hangs over.
- If there are multiple people sharing the bathroom, place the mirrors where each person will be standing.
- By hanging a light over your bathroom mirror, you will increase the amount of light in the bathroom.
- For an old fashioned look, use a round mirror combined with an arch.
- Use multiple mirrors to make your bathroom appear larger.
- Make sure you have adequate lighting around your mirrors so that they are practical for your needs.
Bathroom Lighting
When choosing the type and location of lighting, think about the layout of your bathroom. There might be a certain place you want to accent or you may want extra brightness around mirrors. You should also consider lighting that can be switched from dim to bright, so you can match your mood when getting ready for work or taking a relaxing bath. Although unique and extravagant lighting may be right for you, these lighting options tend to overpower smaller bathrooms.
