Should I choose drawers or doors under the sink?

Drawers, in nearly every case. A notched drawer wraps the plumbing trap and still gives usable storage, and everything in a drawer is visible when it is open. Door cabinets turn into a dark space where items get lost behind the trap.

What vanity height should I choose?

Thirty-four to thirty-six inches suits most adults and reduces bending. Standard 32 inch height still makes sense for a children's bathroom or when a vessel sink is adding height on top of the cabinet.

Are floating vanities practical?

Yes, and they make small bathrooms feel larger by keeping the floor visible. They must be anchored to solid blocking installed in the wall, which is something to plan while the walls are open. Plumbing usually needs to be adjusted so supply and drain enter behind the cabinet rather than through the floor.

How long do custom vanities take to arrive?

Lead times vary by shop and season and can be a meaningful part of the schedule. That is why cabinetry should be ordered early in the project — well before demolition — so that it is available when the room is ready for it.

Bathroom Vanities in Hollywood, FL

The vanity is the piece of furniture in the room. It sets the material tone, carries nearly all of the storage, and determines whether the counters stay usable day to day. Choosing it well is mostly about honest assessment of what you store and how you use the room.

Stock, semi-custom and custom

Stock vanities

Prebuilt in standard widths, available quickly and the most economical route. Quality varies widely; look at drawer box construction and the hinges rather than the door front.

Semi-custom

Manufactured cabinetry with meaningful choice in size, finish, drawer configuration and interior fittings. This is where most Hollywood remodels land — it fits real wall dimensions without full custom lead times.

Custom

Built to the exact dimension and detail, which matters when a wall is an unusual length, when you want a specific wood and grain direction, or when the vanity must integrate a makeup section, a tower or a floating design with concealed lighting.

Sizing and ergonomics

Standard vanity height is 32 inches; comfort height is 34 to 36 inches and suits most adults
Depth is typically 21 inches; 18 inch depths exist for narrow rooms
A double vanity generally needs 72 inches or more to be comfortable
Allow at least 30 inches of clear floor space in front of the vanity
Floating vanities should be blocked in the wall, not mounted to drywall anchors
Plan for a notched top drawer around the sink trap so the drawer is still usable

Countertops and sinks

Quartz dominates bathroom countertops because it is non-porous, consistent, and needs no sealing — an advantage in a humid climate. Natural stone such as marble brings unmatched depth and veining but requires sealing and tolerance for etching from everyday products. Solid surface and cultured marble are budget-friendly and can be formed as integrated sinks.

Sink type follows the look and the use. Undermount sinks are the easiest to wipe into and the most common. Vessel sinks are striking and suit a Japandi or coastal direction, but they raise the effective working height and require a shorter cabinet or a wall-mounted faucet. Integrated sinks give the cleanest lines and the simplest cleaning.

Finishes that hold up in South Florida

Constant humidity is hard on cabinetry. Thermofoil can delaminate over time, and unsealed particleboard swells if it ever gets wet. Plywood boxes, quality laminated or painted finishes, and solid wood doors with a proper finish schedule perform much better. Soft-close hardware from a known manufacturer is worth the modest premium — hinges and slides are what fail first.

Pair the cabinet finish with hardware you can live with. Brushed nickel and matte black are forgiving; unlacquered brass develops a patina intentionally, which some homeowners love and others regret.
