Start with the room
Record wall lengths, door swing, ceiling height, windows, toilet location, tub or shower footprint and every fixed service. Photograph the existing plumbing.
BATHROOM PLANNING
Your bathroom. Planned together.
Coordinate the vanity, top, sink, faucet and storage around your room, your plumbing and your daily routine.
Plan the bathroom as a system.
Choose the vanity, top, sink and faucet together before opening walls or ordering.
Choose the vanity footprint
Measure finished width, depth and height. Account for baseboards, wall irregularities, side fillers, drawer travel, handles and the route into the room.
Map storage around plumbing
Confirm the drain and supply locations against the actual cabinet interior. Drawers and shelves must clear traps, shutoffs and service access.
Check the complete assembly
A vanity cabinet, vanity set, top and sink may have different inclusions. List every included and separately purchased component before comparing quotes.
Keep wet-area work separate
A vanity update does not include shower waterproofing, ventilation, electrical or plumbing relocation. Define those scopes and use qualified trades where required.
Fit the vanity to your room.
Nominal width is only the starting point. Use the exact specification drawing.
Freestanding
Check feet, baseboards, rear plumbing openings and wall attachment. A freestanding label does not mean the unit needs no securement.
Wall-hung
Confirm the manufacturer’s load and fastening requirements, structural backing and wall condition. Plan reinforcement before wall finishing.
Single or double sink
Compare usable counter space, cabinet storage, drain positions and household needs. Two sinks require the correct plumbing and top configuration.
Top and backsplash
Verify outside dimensions, overhang, wall fit, faucet holes, sink mounting and backsplash inclusion. Custom tops need their own templating and fabrication scope.
Mirror and lighting
Coordinate mirror width and mounting height with the user, faucet and lighting. Check electrical supply, driver access and installation instructions for powered mirrors.
Match the sink and faucet.
Choose compatible parts before approving the countertop or drilling holes.
Mounting and hole count
Confirm deck-mounted versus wall-mounted; single-hole, centerset or widespread requirements; exact hole spacing and allowable deck thickness.
Spout reach and height
Use the specification drawing to check where water lands in the bowl, hand clearance and splash risk. A tall vessel sink needs a compatible faucet and installation height.
Drain and overflow
Match the drain to the sink opening, overflow configuration and tailpiece. A drain supplied with a faucet is not automatically compatible with every sink.
Kitchen working clearance
Test pull-down hose travel, handle movement near the backsplash, window clearance and interference with soap dispensers or filtered-water taps.
Finish coordination
Compare physical samples. Brass, brushed gold, nickel and black finishes can differ between product lines. Verify cleaning instructions before using chemical cleaners.
Sequence a bathroom refresh.
Use readiness checks to avoid dismantling the room before its replacement parts are ready.
Measure and select
Approve the vanity, sink, faucet, drain, mirror, lighting and hardware together. Keep model drawings with the plan.
Confirm the scope
Identify demolition, disposal, plumbing, electrical, backing, wall repairs, flooring and any approvals. Name who handles each task.
Receive and inspect
Inspect finishes, glass, top edges, bowls, hardware and dimensions before removing the existing vanity. Follow the supplier’s damage-reporting deadline.
Prepare and install
Complete backing and trade changes before final wall finishes. Follow the product’s mounting, support, sealing and connection requirements.
Test and document
Verify drainage, leaks, door and drawer travel, secure attachment and electrical operation. Keep care instructions and warranty documentation.
Build the bathroom order as one list.
Vanity cabinet, top, sink, faucet, drain, backsplash, mirror, lighting, handles, side storage and installation parts. Record included and separate items for each selected model.
