What defines a well-resolved vanity
in everyday use

A vanity does not behave like a conventional piece of furniture.
It is exposed every day to humidity, steam, temperature changes, constant cleaning, and repetitive use.

A proper design is not based on aesthetics alone, but on the system’s ability to remain stable and functional over time—avoiding warping, premature failures, or visual deterioration.

Addressing these conditions from the start of the project is key to ensuring a durable and consistent result.

Layout and relationship with the bathroom
space

A vanity’s layout depends directly on the environment where it will be integrated.
It is not designed in isolation, but by considering circulation, proportions, simultaneous use, and its relationship with other bathroom elements.

A common mistake is prioritizing visual volume without analyzing how the space is actually used.

The relationship between the sink, storage, and circulation

The design considers real clearances, user heights, and accessibility, enabling a comfortable experience even in bathrooms with continuous use.

A well-resolved relationship between these elements reduces daily friction and improves the overall functionality of the space.

Single or shared use

A vanity for single use is not the same as a shared one.

The design is adjusted to match routines, usage timing, and specific needs—avoiding long-term functional conflicts.

Systems and storage in vanities

Storage in a vanity must respond to different conditions than other areas of the home.

This is where moisture-sensitive items, everyday products, and elements that require quick access are stored.

Internal organization
adapted to the bathroom

Each project defines how hygiene, personal care, and cleaning products are organized, avoiding generic solutions that deteriorate over time.

Accessibility and
everyday use

Internal systems are designed to allow comfortable access without interfering with circulation or compromising the furniture’s stability.

Long-term
performance

Systems are selected based on their real performance under humidity and constant use conditions, ensuring smooth operation and precision over time.

Materials and finishes selected for humid environments

Material selection in a vanity is critical. Not all materials perform correctly in environments with constant humidity. Each solution is defined by considering resistance, dimensional stability, and long-term performance—not just initial appearance.

Stable
structural
materials

Materials are chosen for strong performance against humidity and temperature changes, preventing warping or structural failure.

Finishes
for humidity and
cleaning

Surfaces are selected to withstand constant contact with water, steam, and cleaning products without deteriorating.

Bathroom-ready
systems and
hardware

Hardware is chosen for corrosion resistance and reliable operation in demanding environments.

Details,
joints, and
seals

Edges, joints, and connections are engineered with technical criteria to prevent leaks, premature wear, or hidden failures.

Integration of sinks, countertops, and accessories

A vanity works as a complete system. Proper integration of sinks, countertops, and accessories is defined during the design phase to avoid improvised adjustments on site.

Each element is selected considering technical compatibility, maintenance, and coherence with the overall bathroom design.

Common mistakes in vanity design

Many vanity issues appear months after installation. Most of them come from incorrect decisions made from the start.

Common mistakes include underestimating humidity, choosing unsuitable materials, not considering daily use, or treating the design like a standard piece of furniture. Avoiding these mistakes ensures a functional and durable vanity.
