Both offer incredible value, but the right choice depends on your space, storage needs, and style preferences. In this guide, we’ll compare their pros and cons, design styles, cost differences, and more—so you can make the best decision for your next remodel.

What Is a Double Sink Vanity?

A double sink vanity is a bathroom vanity with two sinks and two sets of faucets, typically paired with ample counter space and cabinetry. They’re ideal for:

  • Shared bathrooms (e.g., couples or siblings)

  • Master suites

  • Large spaces where functionality meets luxury

What Is a Floating Vanity?

A floating vanity, on the other hand, is a wall-mounted vanity that doesn't touch the floor. It's known for its minimalist look and space-saving appeal.

Perfect for:

  • Small or mid-sized bathrooms

  • Contemporary designs

  • Clean, open floor aesthetics

Design Flexibility

Double vanities can come in freestanding or wall-mounted forms and offer multiple drawers, cabinets, and countertop finishes.

Floating vanities prioritize clean lines and space efficiency, often paired with modern sinks or vessel bowls.

Check out our diverse range of styles on the Bathroom Styles page for visual inspiration.


Storage Space: The Real Difference

  • Double sink vanities typically have more drawers, cabinets, and countertop area.

  • Floating vanities offer sleek storage and open floor space, but may have less internal volume.

If you prefer an open aesthetic but still want deep storage, consider a freestanding vanity with modern cabinetry. Browse the Freestanding Vanities Collection.


Installation Considerations

  • Double sink vanities often involve plumbing for two drains and two faucets.

  • Floating vanities require solid wall anchoring and some preplanning—but result in a cleaner look and easier maintenance.
