The last category would be bathrooms that fall in the small to medium sized range. A general size range for bathroom vanities in this category would be a range from 35 inches to 40 inches. Bathrooms with this size can offer you a fair amount of countertop space while still maintaining a modest footprint.

A custom vanity is often the best choice for a small bathroom because it can be made to fill an awkward nook's exact measurements. Using every bit of an alcove also allows for a wider countertop with more room for essentials.

Floating vanities are wall-mounted and appear to “float” above the floor. They come in a range of styles from slim profiles to larger designs with multiple cabinets. Freestanding vanities rest on the floor, either on a solid base or on legs.
