It’s not uncommon for inconvenience to arise when two people have to share one resource. This is a common occurrence for couples who share a bathroom, but even roommates, siblings and guests who have to share a sink can empathize.

What are we to do then? Consider double vanities.

What They Are

Double vanities are basically two sinks side by side. They are most commonly in the form of two sinks sharing the same large counter space, but can also come as a pair of pedestal sinks or a single large basin with two faucets.

Yay or Nay?

Whether or not double vanities will work to your advantage will depend on your bathroom situation and personal preferences. The biggest concern, however, will be space.

Two sinks not only require more counter space (a minimum of six feet, ideally), but will also call for double the usual space underneath to make room for two drain pipes. It’s possible to get the double-vanity effect without the usual space requirements if you go for two pedestal sinks or one basin with two faucets. Certainly some trade-offs will present themselves, but if you’re willing to compromise, there should be no problem.

As for cost, bathroom fixture installation expenses automatically double with double vanities because you’re looking at more plumbing work, plus the additional costs associated with getting a bigger counter and two sets of fixtures.
