Remodel a bathroom with a new vanity and cabinets | Siouxland Homes

The most cost effective way to complete this staggered cabinet layout is with a standard rectangular countertop that extends over each of the side cabinets more than the middle one. If your budget allows, install a bespoke countertop with a smoothly curved leading edge that extends over the center cabinet. This creates a more even overhang of the worktop over the cabinet fronts.

Installing the vanity unit is not a difficult do-it-yourself task. Almost all cabinets are designed so that they can be screwed together from the inside so that the screws are not visible. The hardest part of the job is getting into the cabinets to power the screws.

Always remove the cabinet doors and any drawers before attempting to assemble the vanity. This makes it easier to reach the screws and reduces the chance of scratching the surface on the fronts or overstretching and bending the hinges.

When choosing your cabinets, consider using ones with quick release levers to remove the doors from the hinges without removing all of the hinge screws. With the doors and drawers out, the cabinets are lighter and easier to use.

Unless you’ve chosen an offset design, it’s imperative to have a professional-looking vanity that the cabinet tops and fronts are perfectly matched. The easiest way to achieve this is to place a long straight edge along the top and sides. Once they are properly aligned, lock them in place with rubber clamps and screw in the screws to secure them in place.
