72-Inch Bathroom Vanity: Single vs. Double Sink — Which Is Better?
A 72-inch bathroom vanity is a primary-suite favorite for good reason: there’s enough width for organized storage, generous lighting, and a streamlined daily routine. But should you choose one bowl or two? Here’s how to decide quickly—and shop the right options.
Go Single If You Want the Calmest Counter
- More landing zone: One sink leaves room for decor and daily tools without clutter.
- Cleaner look: One large mirror or a panoramic LED mirror keeps lines serene.
- Flexible storage: Large center drawer stacks are easier to plan and use.
Browse single sink vanities and filter for 72-inch widths via Shop. Choose wall-mounted for an airy feel or freestanding for enclosed storage.
Choose Double If You Share Daily
- Parallel routines: Two bowls reduce morning bottlenecks.
- Symmetry and lighting: Twin mirrors + sconces deliver a calm, organized look.
- Defined storage zones: Per-person drawers and dividers make upkeep easy.
Explore double sink vanities and narrow down to 72-inch models in Shop. Keep sightlines light with floating designs or go classic with freestanding.
Finish & Hardware Combos That Always Work
- White oak + brushed nickel for resort calm.
- Navy + brushed brass for a tailored statement.
- Matte white + matte black for modern gallery style.
Planning & Install Checklist
- Maintain 36 inches of front clearance (30 inches minimum).
- Center supplies/drains for symmetry and uninterrupted drawers.
- Use warm, dimmable LEDs (2700–3000K) and consider a backlit mirror for even light.
