Consider the height of the user when determining the proper height of your vanity
“Shouldn’t the height of a bathroom vanity be 30″?
Well, excluding NBA centers and Triple Crown jockeys, the answer is “Maybe.” The 30″ height is standard, yes, but let’s think this through a bit. The sink is used from a standing position, and a comfortable working height (i.e., washing hands and face) would have the countertop height at 2-3″ below your elbow height. That means a six-foot man could comfortably use a vanity at 43″ tall! But, with multiple individuals using one vanity, a compromise would have to be reached!
So, some suggested vanity heights to consider:
- Men: 37″ – 43″
- Women: 32″ – 36″
- Children: 26″ – 32″
