Vanity Sizes and Layout
Vanity sizes and bathroom layout planning
Choose vanity width from measured clearances. No Tustin typical vanity size is claimed.
24"
30"
36"
42"
48"
60"
72"
Custom sizing is available when a standard width does not protect door swing, toilet clearance, or wet-zone clearance.
Single vs double sink
Double sinks need more width and plumbing. Compact baths often stay single-sink for clearer circulation.
Floating vanity
Floating cabinets can open floor sightlines and simplify cleaning, with wall blocking planned before install.
Storage and plumbing
Drawer layouts must clear traps and shutoffs. Align drain and supply before the cabinet is ordered.
Mirror, lighting, clearances
Center mirrors and task lighting on basins. Protect door, toilet, and shower or tub clearances around the cabinet.
