Choosing between single and double basin for your bathroom vanity has a lot of factors to consider. Aside from the size and layout of your bathroom, you also need to consider your sink space, the business of your household, and of course, your budget.

If you want more countertop and sink space, and a more functional but still elegant vanity, then our double basin vanity is perfect for you. With dual sinks, increased storage, and a modern design, double basin vanities make it easy to keep everything organized, stylish, and stress-free. 

In this guide, we’ll explore why a double basin vanity is the ultimate addition for any shared bathroom and how it can transform your daily routine. On the other hand, you can learn more about vanity types here.

What is Double Basin Vanity?

Basically, the main difference of double basin vanity to a single basin is the number of sink/basins. Instead of one, there are two basins on a vanity side-by-side. You can also check our basin offerings here.

A double basin vanity, often referred to as a double vanity or dual sink vanity, is a bathroom fixture designed with two separate sinks set within a single countertop and cabinet unit. 

Unlike a traditional single vanity, which only accommodates one user at a time, a double basin vanity allows two people to use the sink area simultaneously. This design feature is a significant advantage in shared bathrooms, as it helps reduce waiting times and enables each person to have their own designated space for personal items.

Benefits of a Double Vanity

A double vanity brings together function and style, turning a shared bathroom into an efficient and well-organised space. With dual basins, it removes bottlenecks and boosts both storage and functionality, making morning and night routines smooth and hassle-free.

  • Prevent morning rush delays

With two basins, a double vanity allows you and others to get ready at the same time, avoiding the wait for sink space. It’s an ideal solution for busy mornings when every minute counts.

  • More functional and organised

A double vanity offers dedicated space for each user’s essentials, keeping personal items neatly separated. This extra organisation helps maintain a tidy, clutter-free countertop, making daily routines easier to manage.

  • Easier for couples or families to share

Whether it’s for couples or families, a double vanity provides individual space within a shared bathroom. Each person can have their own basin and storage, creating a comfortable environment for everyone.

When to Use Double Vanity?

If you are torn between choosing single or double basin vanity, remember that selecting the double basin vanity for your bathroom involves a balance between function, design, and your needs. 

By considering factors like size and layout, storage, plumbing, daily usage, and your other preferences, you can find the perfect vanity for your needs.

Size and layout of the bathroom

Opt for a double basin vanity if your bathroom has enough wall space—typically at least 60 inches—to comfortably accommodate two sinks. This allows for efficient use without crowding, ensuring pathways and door swings remain clear for easy access.

Note: Our double basin vanities start at 1200mm wide

Storage needs

Choose a double vanity when additional storage is essential for managing bathroom essentials like toiletries and towels.  Our vanities are designed with doors, drawers and shelves to help keep personal items organised, reducing countertop clutter for a streamlined, tidy look.

Plumbing

If your bathroom’s plumbing setup allows or can be adjusted, a double vanity could be an ideal upgrade. Centralised drains and supply lines work best, but if your plumbing is off-centre, consult a professional about any potential modifications.

Usage

Consider double vanity if multiple people frequently use the bathroom simultaneously, such as in master or family bathrooms. Double vanities are particularly helpful for couples or family members with overlapping schedules, making morning routines more efficient.

Design preferences

Our double vanities are designed to provide a sophisticated look and are perfect for those who want a focal point that brings a spa-like feel to the bathroom. If your aesthetic leans toward a spacious, luxurious design, a double basin vanity can elevate the style of your space.

Budget considerations

A double basin vanity is an investment, so it’s best used when you have a budget that aligns with both style and practicality. Our double sink ranges start at $770, but of course. costs vary based on materials, finishes, and potential plumbing updates, so consider what’s feasible while ensuring you’re enhancing the bathroom’s value and functionality.
