One of the great things about European bathroom vanities is that they can be placed in traditional, classic, and even modern designs. Being highly detailed and elegant, the vanity instantly draws attention to itself as the main attraction in the bathroom. European vanities come in various colors, shapes, and styles, so here are some tips to help you find the right one.
The old fashioned route
Traditional European bathroom vanities use a lot of hardwood or are completely made of it. The most popular woods are cherry, oak, walnut, and redwood. A polished or rustic wood vanity is very effective in providing a European aura. These also create a nice contrast to the bathroom mirror and tiles. A lot of light is recommended to bring out the shine and color of the hardwood. You can choose the best color that complements the area.
Classic European bathroom vanities can be made from pure dark wood or have multiple components presenting an overall rich and elegant style. The vanity tries to convey and imitate the elegant style of marble through cherry or mahogany. Antique accessories and pieces like knobs, pulls, and soft details are perfect for dark tones. Brass or gold colored faucets also look great creating a very symmetrical and elegant effect.

Modern European bathroom vanities invest heavily in stone, glass, stainless steel, and metal. The luster and shine of these materials create a contemporary and uncluttered look in the room. Colors can also vary widely, but most prefer light shades paired with solid black or gray. The combination of dark and light colors in the powder room gives a very sleek and modern feel. The surfaces and doors are very smooth and some may even come without knobs, pulls or handles.
Mirrors in modern style dressing tables can come in various shapes and can also be larger in size as they aim to make rooms appear larger. Faucets are almost always made of stainless steel for a high-tech look. The top is usually stone like marble in solid black or dark brown. The drawers will then have to be white or light beige for a striking contrast. Space is at a premium in modern vanity designs, so cabinets can range up to 48 inches in 6-inch increments. It is also recommended to store accessories and other bathroom items in cabinets for a clean look. To the extent possible, the surface and surroundings should be free of any objects or clutter.
