Two sinks are better than one and most people would agree with that, especially those familiar with the many advantages of having a double sink vanity in the bathroom. So what are these advantages exactly? Well, the most important one is that couples don’t have to share the sink and get in each other’s way in the morning or every time they both need access to it. If that’s not enough to convince you your bathroom needs a remodel, how about the fact that double bathroom vanities look amazing? Perhaps the following examples can make you change your mind.
Although double sink bathroom setups often look symmetrical, that’s not always the case. The two washbasins on this vanity, for example, occupy the left side of the unit while the rest of the counter remains open. Each sink has an oval mirror and a hanging pendant lamp above it so there is a bit of symmetry here after all.
A single large mirror can be shared and can serve as an element that unifies the bathroom. The double sink vanity has the opposite effect, dividing the bathroom and sharing it between two matching sides. If you like the idea, learn how to install a bathroom mirror and you can reinvent your bathroom in no time.

We should also mention that double sink vanities come with a few disadvantages as well, the biggest one being related to space. A bathroom like this one, for example, is quite large, bigger than most standard bathrooms so not everyone can enjoy its benefits

Another concern could be the reduced counter space. The second sink takes up considerable space on the counter so you might not want to give that up. Of course, it all works out if there’s plenty of space to go around, like in this case. The bathroom backsplash is a great focal point here.
