Instead of a knob or pull, consider a scoop cut to provide access to a drawer

“Looking for a different take on drawer hardware for a bathroom. Not a fan of pulls or knobs, am I out of luck?

Not necessarily. Have you considered a scoop cut? Instead of any knob or pull, a graceful curve is cut into the face of the drawer. Creates a wonderful vintage look, and solves your problem!

Consider the height of the user when determining the proper height of your vanity

“Shouldn’t the height of a bathroom vanity be 30″?

Well, excluding NBA centers and Triple Crown jockeys, the answer is “Maybe.” The 30″ height is standard, yes, but let’s think this through a bit. The sink is used from a standing position, and a comfortable working height (i.e., washing hands and face) would have the countertop height at 2-3″ below your elbow height. That means a six-foot man could comfortably use a vanity at 43″ tall! But, with multiple individuals using one vanity, a compromise would have to be reached!

So, some suggested vanity heights to consider:

• Men: 37″ – 43″
• Women: 32″ – 36″
• Children: 26″ – 32″
