Sure, choosing the right tile is often top of mind when designing a bathroom, but the truth is: the vanity is just as important.

This focal point gets just as much use (if not more) than other big-ticket items like the toilet and the tub or shower. So why not have a little fun with the design and contrast your room’s cooler materials with warm wood tones? 

While there are plenty of vanities you can pluck right off the shelves, there are just as many ways to customize a classic cabinet like IKEA’s Godmorgon and get a bespoke look for a fraction of the cost. For an easy bathroom refresh, check out these sophisticated wood bathroom vanities:

 

Farmhouse Flair

Semihandmade’s Tahoe Impression fronts provide just enough contrast against a warm gray shiplap wall and natural stone tiles, while the matte black hardware and arched mirror give this farmhouse bathroom a modern touch.

Feeling Flirty

For a look that marries farmhouse appeal with modern design, take note from designer Michelle Madsen, and add a wood vanity, like this IKEA one with Semihandmade’s Tahoe Impression fronts, and add champagne-colored hardware to an otherwise stark white room.

This high drama design looks straight out of a five-star hotel. Here, Madsen paired a glossy jet black subway tile wall with Semihandmade’s Tahoe Impression fronts, a crisp white marble countertop, and brushed brass plumbing fixtures. 

 

Boho Touch

Because this geometric tile floor has hints of white, black, green, and brown, the dark Classic Walnut vanity and its matte black drawer pulls fit in just right. The resulting design by Rebecca Plumb has a clean but slightly bohemian vibe. 

 

Nature-Inspired

In this bathroom, a duo of dark wood vanities looks sharp paired with textured wallpaper that’s reminiscent of tree bark. Still, designers Chayce and Hannah Wilson created an overall style that isn’t too rustic, thanks to copper details and large round mirrors. 

 

Contrasting Curves

To give IKEA’s Godmorgon vanity a  warmer flair, Ashley Izsak swapped out the doors for Tahoe Impression fronts, then added brass half moon drawer pulls. The designer wasn’t afraid to mix metals: she pulled the whole look together with brass globe sconces, chrome plumbing fixtures, and a large black powder-coated steel mirror. 

 

Serene Spa
