Where's the best place to buy bathroom vanities? As a style editor, this is where I would shop

A selection of bathroom vanities.

When you're getting ready in a rush, there's nothing worse than a cluttered bathroom. It's so much harder to find that skincare bottle or make-up brush you need when your products are strewn across the room, or hidden in some tiny drawer you've never seen before.

This is why I'm such a huge fan of having a vanity since everything has a home in one. With the right bathroom vanity, you can maximize your storage space without sacrificing your style, especially due to the fact that there are so many options available.

No matter whether you want a freestanding vanity that makes a statement in the center of your floor, or a wall-mounted vanity that seems to float above it, there's an option available for you. A cute and compact corner vanity would fit right into a smaller bathroom, while a master bathroom might be better suited to a double vanity with multiple sinks and tons of storage space. You can look to purchase a colorful vanity, a classic white one, or even one that has a transitional look to it. 

With so many options, it's easy to feel spoiled for choice, but luckily for you, that's where I come in. As a shopping writer, I know exactly the stores where you can buy the best bathroom vanities. I've spent hours searching the sites of the top bathroom retailers and taking stock of their selection, and I've found eight options that sell vanities to suit every size and style of bathroom. 

Whether you're shopping for a single sink or a sprawling double vanity, these are the stores to keep on your radar.

Lowe's

A simple search for 'bathroom vanities' yields over 12,000 results at Lowe's. With so many options, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. Luckily, Lowe's specialist filters help to narrow the search. You can shop for bathroom vanities by width to ensure you only see the pieces that will fit into your space. Lowe's stocks everything from small to standard to super-sized vanities. You can also shop for specific features, such as integrated electrical outlets to plug in razors or charge toothbrushes, or soft-close doors and drawers for nearly-silent storage. If you're a first-time renovator, and you're keen to avoid bathroom renovation mistakes, you'll love Lowe's how-to blogs.

Pottery Barn

Pottery Barn puts their bestselling bathroom vanities right at the top of the page, so you can see the pieces that have been bought and loved before. Most of Pottery Barn's best vanities are shaker-style or transitional, combining classic materials like wood caning with all the modern conveniences. Eco-conscious shoppers will be pleased to hear that every purchase of a wooden vanity plants a tree. 

Before you buy, it's worth noting that while their bathroom vanities arrive pre-assembled, Pottery Barn recommends professional installation. If this isn't in your budget, you might want to shop elsewhere. 

Crate and Barrel

Crate & Barrel offers a limited but carefully curated selection of beautiful bathroom vanities. Made from natural materials with intricate designs and plenty of hidden doors and drawers, their pieces marry form and function.  These are premium vanities and they come with a premium price tag: Many cost more than $2,000. That might sound like a lot to spend on a bathroom vanity, but you can get more for your money if you know how to look. A few of these pieces come with complementary mirrors and trays to complete the look.

Home Depot

Whether you know the exact make and model of your desired bathroom vanity, or you're just searching for inspiration, you'll find it on Home Depot. You can shop for vanities by color, style, and width to find the unit that best suits your space. There's even an option to browse for bathroom vanities without tops and fit your own or select a new vanity top and slot it into your old cabinet. For extensive bathroom redesigns, Home Depot is the place to go. Their 'Complete the Project' page links to all the best bathroom faucets, tiling, mirrors, and more to match your vanity. 

Anthropologie

If you're shopping for a bathroom vanity that makes a statement, you'll find it on Anthropologie. While most of their vanities come in natural wood shades, there are a few painted pieces in blush pinks and blue-grays. These units are ideal for anyone who wants to experiment with colorful bathroom ideas without redecorating the whole space. Buyers on a budget will be disappointed to hear that Anthropologie offers limited control over which units you see. Since there are only two price categories, you can only shop for vanities which cost more or less than $500. There's no option to set your own upper and lower limit. 

Walmart

Where most home stores stock vanities in modern, traditional, and transitional styles, Walmart gets much more specific. You can shop for coastal vanities to complement your beach bathroom decor or classic vanities with contemporary features that fit right into mid-century modern homes. Unlike the rest of the retailers on this list, Walmart lets you set your own budget on a sliding scale. You can fix your upper and lower limits down to the dollar. The best bathroom vanities cost hundreds, rather than thousands, of dollars at Walmart.

West Elm

I'm going to be honest: West Elm's selection of bathroom vanities aren't for everyone. They can be on the expensive side, and the brand specializes in mid-century and contemporary styles in neutral colorways, so lovers of eclectic designs would do best to look elsewhere. However, if you're looking for well-made, durable designs with a focus on construction and top quality materials, you really can't go wrong with West Elm's classic collection of bathroom vanities for rooms of all sizes.

Wayfair

Wayfair is one of my favorite spots to shop, because they always are way ahead of the current interior design trends at affordable prices. A quick search for 'bathroom vanities' gives you over 31,000 results, but you can sift through them by price, brand, size, type, assembly, and so much more. So, if you're in the market for a colorful option that you don't have to set up or want a rustic, wooden look for your master bathroom that will require professional installation, both options are available at Wayfair, which makes the process of finding the perfect bathroom vanity for your home easier than ever.


Once you've bought one of the best bathroom vanities, it's time to make the most of your storage space. Organizing a bathroom vanity should keep clutter to a minimum. You can do it yourself, or invest in one of the best vanity organizers to do it for you.
