Wooden cabinets are a key component for all bathroom vanities. They offer storage space for many supplies, from towels and linens to toiletries, and give the unit its attractiveness. After all, which sinks contain a marble top and hand-carved cabinet below? Bathroom vanity cabinets are made from several types of wood, of which oak is one. A hardwood commonly used for flooring, oak has a medium-range color that offers moderate contrast with granite and white marble – but not too much – and blends in smoothly with patchwork marble stone. A different finish, as well, changes the character of an oak bathroom vanity.
Oak bathroom vanity units display a high-level of craftsmanship through intricate, hand-carved details. A vanity cabinet will seldom be a solid and flat wood face. Rather, the front of the oak bathroom vanity is embellished with various carved edges and finish variations.
As a neutral hardwood, oak picks up stains and finishes well, and many bathroom vanity units incorporate this into their design. Although a typical oak bathroom vanity is finished a solid shade, some sets are given a two-tone appearance of light and dark finishes. Rather, with contrast coming through the vanity top and cabinet, the wood is the primary aesthetic focus of the unit.
An oak bathroom vanity comes in a single- or double-sink style. For single bathroom vanities, the oak cabinets below open up to a shelf, and this space can hold towels, linens, hair and shaving tools, and cleaning supplies. Double vanities, on the other hand, are designed with a larger space below or two smaller cabinets. In either case, the larger cabinet provides a bathroom with sufficient storage space.
Regardless of the type of unit you choose, an oak bathroom vanity should match the décor of your space. Browse through our selection of oak bathroom vanity units to find one that meets your needs and fits your style.
