Best Farmhouse Bathroom Vanities [Rustic & For Small Bathrooms]

As people become increasingly tired of urban living, the call to a simpler time started to become noticeable in modern home design. Even in the deepest of urban neighborhoods, people are now starting to look into the “farmhouse chic” aesthetic. This is especially true when it comes to bathroom design, and as a result, rustic farmhouse bathroom vanities have started to take the center stage.

Farmhouse bathrooms are bathrooms that are designed to have the weathered, wood-centric look of a quaint farmhouse out in the middle of the British countryside. It’s simple, yet at the same time, offers a homey ambiance that most people can’t help but find remarkably soothing in its own right.

At the center of most rustic bathrooms is a gorgeous vanity that acts as a focal point as well as an important hotspot for just about every single morning function. But, how can you find the right one for your home? We decided to put together our own collection of our favorite farmhouse bathroom vanities to help you out.

In the past, most vanities had to come with built-in light setups that surrounded mirrors. Today, most vanities will have lighting fixtures added to the walls above them. This gives your vanity a cleaner look, helps reduce the eyesore of old school vanities, and also offers you lighting that works with your interior design choices.

The thing is, the lights are not directly attached to your vanity. So whether or not that fits your specific definition of adding lights to your vanity is up to you.

This all depends on your personal preferences.

Modern vanities are generally easier to clean than rustic ones, so if you want to go for an low-maintenance choice, modern would be the best bet. Modern vanities are also great if you love the sleek, spa-like ambiance of an ultra-modern bathroom. It’s swanky, and always looks pricey.

If you love the idyllic scene of a British country cottage and want to replicate it in your home, then you’re better served through a rustic, farmhouse-style vanity. Thankfully, there are plenty of vanities that come with varnishes that make them easy to clean, even if they look distressed.

The number one thing that you are going to need to look for when dealing with a small area is to find a cabinet that is petite, yet still offers a nice amount of space. This comes with a cabinet accessed by two wooden swing doors as well as a bottom storage space for additional linens and supplies.

Made of affordable MDF board, this sink comes with additional vessel color options that most other vanities on this list don’t. It’s also made to be an easy install. This makes it one of the more versatile options on the list, as well as the most budget-friendly one by a long shot.

One thing that stands out about the farmhouse vanity trend is the fact that many people equate farmhouse to being heavily weathered. This isn’t actually a necessity in the farmhouse style guide, and in fact, it can actually detract from your home if you aren’t careful. That’s why it makes sense to look into getting an elegant, clean-cut looking vanity cabinet.

Thomasville made a beautiful farmhouse vanity that harkens back to the days of life in the British countryside. The pure white vessel, the crisp woodwork, and spacious cabinetry make it a cinch to work with from an interior design aspect. It also comes with pre-cut fittings for all your sink installation needs.

When you’re working on putting together a home spa setup, the weathered look is a great way to get that look without having too much of a hassle. Weathered spas have that classic vintage look that makes them appear both exotic and anachronistic without removing their modernity.

Since this is made of genuine wood and marble, you can expect it to last for years while it provides that timeless elegance every bathhouse needs.

European-style bathrooms are known for having a strong proclivity towards the ultra-weathered look and a penchant for light colors.

This farmhouse vanity is one of the largest in our round-up, which means that it’s ideal for homes that are meant to be extremely spacious.

Since this has six drawers inside, it’s safe to say you’ll be able to hold everything you need in your bathroom.

Petite enough to be used in almost any home and also versatile enough in style to follow through with that assumption, LUCA’s farmhouse vanity set is all about bringing simple, contemporary styling to a more rustic home. The pure white vanity is ideal for people who want something crisp and refreshing without it being the focal point in a home.

The undermount sink is small enough to avoid cutting into valuable storage space, without causing your overall cabinet’s outline to be less streamlined. The sink is also designed with an overflow prevention faucet as well as an overflow prevention drain. The end result is a sink that can handle a ton.

Love the vanity, but hate the color? Not a problem. They also make this in other colors, including a beautiful stone grey and a pitch black.

Let’s just be honest for a moment. Shopping for vanity cabinets can be an awesomely fun time, but when it comes to putting those cabinets together? It’s not always that enjoyable. This is especially true if you’re not a fan of trying to decipher IKEA-like assembly directions or crying in a corner. Unfortunately, most of these models require some level of assembly.

Pamari decided to give us a way to get the beautiful vanity that people adore, without all the hassle. This is one of the most beautiful spa-style vanities you can get that won’t involve any assembly in its installation process. It has ample room for baskets and linens, as well as a “plug and play” plumbing set up. Convenience, thy name is Tamari.

The best thing about the Pamari Cassara is that its petite size means that carrying it upstairs won’t be a problem. It’s a one-man (or woman) job. That can’t be said about many of the other models on this list.

Now, this is just plain decadent! People who have a bathroom that’s large enough to have two sinks are going to love this model. The Charlotte sink set comes with twin sinks that are embraced by a striking marble farmhouse apron. Two soft-close cabinets underneath each sink give every user their own place to store their stuff, while a lower shelf makes linen storage easier than ever before.

The Charlotte setup also features a gorgeous genuine quartz countertop that is a cinch to clean, giving any bathroom that upscale ambiance that makes it look like a million bucks. In terms of installation, you don’t have to worry about much. Everything comes pre-assembled with the right sinks and fixtures.

Love the design but hate the colors? Not a problem. This particular vanity also comes in five other colors, including slate grey, chocolate, and a very nautical royal blue!

Farmhouse style is flexible, so why shouldn’t your vanity be, too? That’s the idea the designers at LUCA Kitchen & Bath had when they designed the Carson vanity setup. This petite vanity walks a fine line between modern and rustic, all while giving you ample storage space and a setup that works with a slew of different design styles.

Like other products from LUCA, the materials that are used in the Carson’s creation are designed to be long-lasting, easy to clean, and cable of handling a lot of heft. It also happens to come in three different colors, making matching a cinch—even if you’re the type to choose unusual colors for your bathroom.

While it is a petite farmhouse vanity, it’s safe to say that the Carson will work well with your overall setup.

Of course, color isn’t all that this model brings to the table.

The Zelda comes with three soft-close drawers and two under-sink cabinets that are capable of storing everything from makeup to towels with ease. Apron sinks, a beautiful backsplash, and an easy-to-clean exterior mean that homeowners don’t have to worry about fussing over this cabinet too much.

The only drawback to this cabinet is that you will need to get your own faucets for this cabinet. However, that can be a perk if you think about it. It’s your customization choice, which means you can add a little quirkiness if you choose to do so.

A quick glance at this vanity already shows why people tend to fall in love with it as soon as they see it. It’s got a gorgeous Carrera marble countertop and backsplash. It’s large enough to hold all your bathroom goodies without issue. It’s also got that fresh country look that makes a place feel like home.

Why are bathroom vanities so short?

This is actually more of a historic tradition than most people realize. Traditionally, vanities were made to be short in order to ensure that children would be able to reach the sink.
