Slim, Open, Stylish: The 31.5-Inch Console Bathroom Vanity
A 31.5-inch console bathroom vanity is the ultimate space enhancer—sleek legs, an open shelf, and a compact top that still supports daily routines. It’s perfect for powder rooms, guest suites, and secondary baths where you want lightness, not bulk. Prefer enclosed storage instead? You can achieve a similar footprint with floating or small freestanding vanities and keep the same airy feel.

Why Homeowners Love a 31.5-Inch Console Bathroom Vanity
- Airy footprint: Legs reveal more floor, so small rooms look larger.
- Easy cleaning: Simple to mop underneath; dust has nowhere to hide.
- Flexible styling: Works with modern, transitional, or classic bathrooms.
Freestanding, Floating, or Console?
Console Vanity (31.5″)
Open shelf for towels and baskets; sleek silhouette with minimal visual weight.
Prefer a sculptural sink? Pair with vessel sink vanities using low-profile bowls.
Floating Alternative
A wall-mounted design delivers the same lightness with enclosed drawers.
Compact Freestanding
If you need closed storage, compact freestanding vanities keep essentials out of sight.
Sink & Counter Strategy
- Maximize landing zone with a single sink vanity.
- Use quartz or solid-surface tops for low maintenance and easy wipe-downs.
- Choose single-hole faucets to save counter space and simplify cleaning.
Styling Tips for Console Vanities
Use a lidded basket for backup toiletries on the lower shelf and keep the counter clear. A slim mirror and warm LED lighting (2700–3000K) will enhance the open look. Select matte black or brushed nickel hardware to keep lines calm and cohesive.
