If you’re going with a single-sink vanity, consider customizing or looking for a prefabricated unit with a sink that sits off-center. This setup will get you a slightly larger counter surface on one side rather than two smaller areas flanking a centered sink. It also frees up room for a cabinet below the sink and a full bank of drawers on the other side, as with the 36-inch marble topped-vanity shown here.
“Pay close attention to useful counter space as well as functioning storage below,” custom cabinetmaker Charlie Henderson of Woodshop QC says. “I accept that, visually, people lean toward a centered sink. But especially on 36-to-42-inch-wide vanities, I prefer to shift the sink off center to allow for a normal-functioning drawer stack on the end, where the drawers can avoid the sink plumbing and don’t have to be notched and butchered on the inside.”
