Canadians spend a lot in home renovations. We cherish our homes, and we enjoy maximizing their aesthetic and functional appeal through renovations and overhauls. In Canada, British Columbians spend an average of $10k on a bathroom renovation \u2013 the highest in the country.<\/p>\n

In fact, renovating the bathroom reigns supreme in Canada, with 19% of all home improvements<\/a> focusing on the bathroom, thanks in part to a 70-100% return on investment. Kitchens may be the heart of the home, but the bathroom is synonymous with privacy, tranquility, hygiene, function, and zen-like style.<\/p>\n

But what are bathroom vanities? There\u2019s got to be more to them than a set of drawers where you store your toothbrush.<\/p>\n

Just like a custom kitchen build, building a bathroom vanity isn\u2019t limited to specific sizes \u2013 simply work with your design team to curate a style and a size that benefits your lifestyle and your needs. In this sense, the only limitation is the bounds of your creativity, but as a general rule, vanities can be purchased in a few different standard sizes.<\/p>\n

In North America, the standard countertop height is approximately 31 inches, but this is another matter of personal preference \u2013 taller people may opt for a slightly higher countertop, while more compact vanities work better for shorter individuals, or families with small children.<\/p>\n
