Choosing the right vanity and mirror for your bathroom can be a game-changer in terms of functionality and aesthetics. With Madeli’s extensive range of sizes and styles, it’s easier than ever to find the perfect fit for any space. This sizing guide will help you navigate through the various options, ensuring you select a vanity and mirror combination that complements your bathroom’s layout and your personal style. Let’s dive into the details to help you create a cohesive and visually appealing bathroom space.
Vanity Sizing for Optimal Function & Aesthetics
Measure the Width of Your Space
Before you begin shopping for a vanity, it’s crucial to measure the width of the area where you plan to install it. This ensures that the vanity will fit perfectly without overwhelming the space or appearing too small. Madeli offers vanities in widths of 19″, 20″, 24″, 30″, 36″, 42″, 48″, 48″ Double Bowl, 60″, 60″ Double Bowl, and 72″ Double Bowl, providing a wide range of options to suit any bathroom size.
Step-by-Step Measuring Tip:
- Start by measuring your wall space at sink level.
- Double-check clearance for doors and drawers to avoid any interference with fixtures in your bathroom.
Small Spaces: 19” to 24” Width
For smaller bathrooms or powder rooms, vanities ranging from 19” to 24” are ideal. These sizes offer sufficient storage without taking up too much space. The compact design allows for easy movement around the bathroom while still providing a functional sink and storage area.
Expert Tip For Small Bathrooms: In very tight spaces, lighter finishes or open shelving are worth considering to create the illusion of a more expansive area.
Medium Spaces: 30” to 42” Width

Medium-sized bathrooms can benefit from vanities that are 30” to 42” wide. These sizes offer more countertop space and storage, making them perfect for daily use. They strike a balance between functionality and space, ensuring that you have enough room for toiletries and other essentials. For medium-sized vanities, we prefer mirrors that extend across roughly two-thirds of the countertop width to maintain a visually balanced look.
Larger Spaces: 48” to 72” Width

For larger bathrooms, especially master bathrooms, consider vanities that are 48” wide or more. Madeli’s 48” Double Bowl, 60” Double Bowl, and 72” Double Bowl options are perfect for shared spaces. These larger vanities provide ample storage and countertop space, making them ideal for couples or families. Pair a larger Madeli vanity with a matching linen cabinet to expand storage and create a cohesive, polished aesthetic.
Consider Ceiling Height and Mirror Placement
When choosing a vanity, don’t forget to consider the ceiling height and the placement of your mirror. A tall mirror can create the illusion of more space and add a touch of elegance to your bathroom. Ensure that the mirror is proportional to the vanity width. A general rule is to choose a mirror that is slightly narrower than the vanity to create a balanced look. Mounting your mirror at eye level for the tallest user ensures both practical use and a streamlined appearance.
Selecting the Perfect Mirror Shape
The shape of the mirror can also influence the overall look of your bathroom. Rectangular mirrors are classic and versatile, while round or oval mirrors can soften the lines and add a unique touch. Consider the style of your vanity and the overall theme of your bathroom when choosing the mirror shape. If your bathroom has predominantly angular features, a round or oval mirror can help balance the design and create visual interest.
