Thinking about purchasing a new vanity? With the recent craze over modern bathroom vanities you probably can’t help but want to switch out your tired old boring vanity for a new chic one! With all the different colors, styles, and shapes available on the market today you will surely find the perfect one for you.

Some modern bathroom vanities come with countertops and others are just wood. If the top of the vanity is just wood be sure that the wood is properly sealed to protect against water damage resulting in fading or peeling. No matter how careful you are, it is too much of a risk to take while washing your hands.

The latest newest style of modern bathroom vanities are offered with countertops. If you decide to purchase a vanity with a countertop, rest assured that your vanity is protected from any kind of damage. The smooth countertop allows for an easy clean even if an accident occurs. Some different types of countertops will be discussed in this article.

One type of countertop offered with modern bathroom vanities is the surgical tempered glass. Not only does this countertop protect against damage but also protects against heat. It is offered in many different beautiful shades such as green, blue, and others. These are usually frosted on the inside to prevent exposing any items being stored inside the vanity itself.

Another type of countertop which is not often used with modern bathroom vanities but is available on the market by special request is the natural marble countertop. If you like the modern look but would still like to keep the traditional touch of class this countertop would work best for you. Because it is a natural marble not as many colors and shades are available.

If you like the appearance of the marble countertop but are not satisfied with the colors offered consider a man made marble countertop. Many modern bathroom vanities come with the man made marble top because you are more flexible to choose which color better suits you. With the uncountable number of colors offered with the manmade marble countertop you will surely find the color that best suits your personal style and décor.

Another option for a countertop is a countertop with the sinks as appose to the ceramic basins sitting on top of the countertop. These countertops are normally made of surgical tempered glass so that it withstands all temperatures. These types of modern bathroom vanities have a certain sleek elegance to them.

If you decide to go with ceramic basins it is often suggested to go with white. There are many modern bathroom vanities that come with white ceramic basins. Not only is the round traditional basin offered but there are many different shapes and colors being offered as well. These basins add a modern feel to an already classy vanity.

In the end it all depends on your personal style and taste. Most modern bathroom vanities have a unique style to them regardless of which type of countertop it has. Between the hundreds of thousands of different models you will definitely find one that is right for you!

Granite and marble stain terribly with water (unless you continually apply protective coating). Black will show water spots and litter/dust like grazy. I once put in a black sink with black kitchen appliance and regretted the sink from the second day.

I would not use anything else all black if your floor will be black tile. Black tile looks different from black natural stone. Only use the black as an accent in the bathroom wall and shower floors.

If you are picking tile for the floor go bigger than 12×12, and lay it diagonally: makes the room seem bigger and any border variations in outlines will not be noticable. I have done several homes now with diagonal layout and everyone just loves it

Mosaic is in style now but I would use it as an accent so it does not get dated too soon.

Tavertine is always a classic and not too expensive and comes with trim and various patterns of mosaic strips.It stands well to abuse of water. scale, and soap.It also needs to be sealed but it does not get stained like marble and granite.

I loved a look I saw in a bathroom where the shower had
part of the surrounding wall done in several shades of narrow mosaic (small rectangle cut tavertine) like rain, darker at the top fading to lighter (makes room look bigge since eye is atracted tohigher pattern)

You could combine black and honey (honey is my favorite "neutral" color for today)in diffrent shades of black/grey/honey mosaic tile to get the rain effect, then finish the bottom with a honey colored tavertine.

for the shower floor use a small pattern tile same as floor.

Tavertine and slate look great together. check if you have access to natural slate tile which gose with black and honey. With slate, as with any other surface in a BA, you should check for slipping on wet surface and how rough the surface is for bare feet. Tavertine floors, and slate shower would look great. Slate on the BA floor may be too rough.

In a small BA with a black vanity, I would not put too much more dark shades in there. else it looks too dark.

I did a bath in dark chocolate/honey and white – everyone loved it. if you can use white in your BA – that is a good contrast color. For a sleek modern look you should not have too many colors else it's 50's or 70's LSD.

The fewer dominant colors you put into the long term items (tile) you can change the look be changing accessories.
Black-honey-(off)white is very classic and neutral, you can add any colors to that.
